DitchPlaya said: The Switch selling well is great and all but are we forgetting the Wii? For four years straight it trounced the competition but what did it have to show for itself? If you think I am simply talking about the failure of the Wii U or the fact that it's sales fell of a cliff in the fifth year then you'd be wrong. Off course there is still the chance that it may happen, nobody ever saw it so with the Wii because it was supposed to change gaming. |
Aren't we over that already many times? Yes, big western AAA 3rd-party is not present, but japanese, AA-games and indies are very well present. And the data suggest, that they sell as well and better than on other platforms. For japanese game devs especially, if they ignore Switch at this point they could commit suicide as well.
The 3rd-party output for this year includes: Monster Hunter Rise, Disgaea 6 (which isn't releasing on PS, because the sales aren't there on that platform), Ys IX, Monster Hunter Stories and already got Bravely Default 2 and Story of Seasons. And alongside a lot of smaller titles. So declaring the absence of 3rd-parties seems kinda obsolete. Yes, no COD and Battlefield, but that didn't stop the Switch from selling so far.
