| Kyuu said: So super late ports/remasters and a low budget remake that all sold poorly everywhere and missing some digital data if I'm not mistaken. No matter, Switch probably has a selling advantage on lower tier games across the board (it's not limited to JRPGs), I'm pretty sure it already has a bigger library than PS4 even though it launched much later, because a larger part of its library is small games whose publishers/developers didn't see much value in putting them on PS4 and Xbox. In most cases, exclusives/platform-skips aren't moneyhatted. SE doesn't develop DQ but they co-own, publish, and fund it. And all parties involved as opposed to SE alone can get ambitious if they want to. Sounds like we agree that a true PS5 exclusivity is off the table anyways, and I think Curl agrees too. The moneyhatting he was referring to is probably "exclusively NOT on the Switch" seeing as how Sony doesn't view Xbox and PC as relevant in Japan. |
Bold: Excuse me but Trials of Mana sold over 1mil WW and SMT3HD sold over 600k, which puts it on par with SMTIV as the second best selling SMT game. Those are by all means good results.
And yes the Switch has a bigger library with 8645 games on the German eshop right now and 5645 PS4 games on the Playstation Store.
Unless DQXII releases in 2026 or 2027 I think it's unlikely they'll skip the current Switch.
