curl-6 said: Mixed feelings. On the downside, the Direct Mini didn't announce or date any major new games, so their schedule for the rest of the year still looks very weak at this point. However, after so long in radio silence, just the fact that they're keeping us informed and updated again is a huge breath of fresh air. For me it was decent, nothing special but not terrible,...

How is that nice (for non-Polar Bears I mean)? :-P Then you shouldn't complain with that avatar 😉 There is no snow in Oslo now at least. It has been a hot winter. It is cold, but the sun is shining and there is no wind. So the weather is good by norwegian...

tsogud said: Seems like there's evidence to suggest that there has been either foul play or a big miscount of the votes especially for the Massachusetts primary: "The 2020 Massachusetts Democratic Party presidential primary was held on March 3, 2020.

Steyer at least looks good for SC at 15% but he's back to low single digits in all other states with current polling. Klobuchar is at 5% nationally and only slightly better in a few Super Tuesday states. Buttigieg is...

When will the switch outsell the ps4?

curl-6 said: MasonADC said: How about the fact that they never have a q1 game as big as Animal crossing? And the switch isn’t a first party only machine, they could fill up a direct with indies and third parties ports if they really wanted to. This year will be fine I hope you're right, but I can't shake the deja vu, this is EXACTLY how things went down in...

Crash Bandicoot Trilogy vs Spyro Trilogy

rapsuperstar31 said: Having not played either series owning the N64 at the time, I bought the Crash trilogy awhile back. I'm not a fan of it, played through a few hours of the first game and a few hours of the 2nd crash. Not liking Crash turned me off from getting Spyro, but all the positive things said about Spyro in this thread may tempt me one of these sales. They are nothing...

Pemalite said: zorg1000 said: None of the examples are giving the game away though since they cost the same as the console+game. Look back at your original statement, you were saying that bundles make up a significant amount of the games sales when that's just not true. That is a logical fallacy. - Shifting the goal post.I didn't mention price or cost, thus it is...

Also, Switch had Smash boost and NSMBUD in January, that was kinda hard to beat from the get-go. It is, they said down in revenue and units but only single digits decline...

Pemalite said: zorg1000 said: Australia makes up maybe a few percent of total sales and the walmart bundle you linked is over $500. MK8 bundles make up a very small amount of its sales, it's around ~23 million shipped and would at worst be like ~20 million without bundles.
