Regarding the part about game development, you are probably right. Won't fight you there. But about ther rest: Sony sold all the shipment it sent because it sent almost nothing. It would be the same as Nintendo or Xbox celebrating that it sold all it's 50k units it sent for launch week. It may be sold out, but it's only sold out because there was barely no stock there. That's not a win. That's a clear admission that they don't expect much from Japan. And Japan is not a mobile-centric demographics. If that was the case, the Switch Lite would be the best selling SKU of the Switch. It isn't, and it's not even close. If it was a mobile centric country, games like Ring Fit wouldn't sell, because it only works in the Switch home console mode. It's been sold out for more than a year there, and it has recently passed the 1 million mark if I'm not mistaken. Switch wouldn't be breaking records left and right either, and wouldn't have the potential to be the best selling console there. People should stop making excuses for Sony poor performance in Japan.Sony is doing bad there because their product dosen't appeal to them anymore. It's not because the demographic had "grown" over games. It's because that, compared to competitors like Nintendo, Sony dosen't make the cut anymore. It's seen as an "inferior" product for them. Sony hasn't adapted their product to Japan's growing needs, so they were cast out. That's all there is to it. |
But the Switch is a portable device. And Japan is also in the midst of the Covid 19 pandemic... |
The Switch is a hybrid system. It works as both, and is used as both, as inumerous surveys from Nintendo and third party shows, and as many other evidence shows, clearly stated in my previous post.Just as much as it is used as a portable system, it is also heavily used as a stationary system in Japan.
And what does the Coronavirus has anything to do with the Switch doing well/bad and the PS5 doing well/bad?
