this gen might mark the first time that sony actually might struggle to retain relevency in a major market since they started, as it is incresingly clear that if you want to sell your game in japan, you make it for switch.

And if everyone goes to switch/ps5 cross platform, that just makes sure that ps5 can't really leverage the extra power it has going for it. and game devs would also rather use HD textures then put more work into UHD textures, meaning less dev costs and more profit by just dog a straight switch realese. and its not like they'd struggle to get foriegn audiences with the switch either at this point...

Ergo, any japanese dev that doesn't have a game set for realese on the switch by next year is just STUPID

A completely delusional post, something I would expect in Media create threads tbh.

Dev costs are done by hours not by tech. A UE5 game taking 10,000 dev hours costs the same as a UE3 game taking 10,000 dev hours. Engines like UE5/Unity are so feature rich that even Indie devs, or small teams, can make spectacular looking games.

There are also plenty of JP relevant games out on PS4 and SW will never be a universal solution, as even with its almost double install base, titles perform better or on par of PS4. Like Persona Scramble, Atelier, Nocturne HD, Pro Baseball etc

Please don't twist things, no one said it didn't sell well in Japan people questioned your 4m figure for Japan and the fact that 3.18m is shown you just proved all of us right for reference:

Here is what I calculated once all the at the time available sources were looked at.

I calculated 3.3m your own "leak" has 3.18m so it's even lower than what I estimated, here is another of your post for reference pushing 3.5m to 4m suggesting closer to 4m:

Effectively you just proved all of us right on the prior matter on all counts as well.

3.18 does not include ME, which includes World. You're easily looking at 3.5 million+ which is exactly what I was predicting.

Nice try lol
