DESTINY 2(Coming of what is considered the 2nd biggest franchise this gen)

STAR WARS BATTLE FRONT 2(Millions guaranteed as it launches near the movie)

RED DEAD REDEMPTION (the country GTA)

those three are likely going to sell well over 10 million units..... and will release on PS4/xbone/pc

no switch announcements...... does this bold well for its future?

Here the update, from the last 2 weeks. Yes..its the future, i think.

All for PlayStation 4, but none for Switch: Read Dead Redemption 2, Star Wars Battlefront II, the next Shadow of Mordor & Need for Speed & Call of Duty and Pro Evolution Soccer, Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, Destiny 2, no Mass Effect Andromeda, Persona 5, Marvel vs Capcon Infinite, TLOHeroes Trails of Cold Steel III, Dragons Dogma, The Lost Child, the next Remedy-Game, Tekken 7, Tropico 6 and more new big Games & AAA-Games. The switch is only for nintendo fans in future, i think. Because many important games do not appear on the switch.

i read: "It’s looking like FIFA 18 on Switch wasn’t made with the Frostbite engine, and at least one mode is missing. FIFA 18’s Switch version is likely more in line with the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions as opposed to PS4 and Xbox One". nobody needs weak multi-games on switch, so please nintendo - 2018, a new stronger switch with better hardware, that is my wish. My opinion: The switch is too weak for many great games. And many big (3/4) developers have no interest, especially from usa and europe. The latest new games-announcements show this.

people don't give a damn

Is the switch even actually getting Fifa 18?

I remember reading about this before. They are calling the switch version "EA SPORTS FIFA" instead of Fifa 18. So perhaps a different enough game to warrant the new title.

very interesting. okay - thanks for the info!!

(..) This is the kind of thread "AAA" game enthusiasts try to bury after the fact, not revivify.

Why so aggressive? Thread is: None of the blockbuster 3rd party games coming to switch 2017. The fact is that the games do not appear on Switch - which have been in the last days/weeks announced:
Shadow of Mordor 2, the next Need for Speed & Call of Duty, Pro Evolution Soccer and Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 this year. Also the developer of Tropico 6 dont have interest. Please dont forget: We're talking about Games support. These are only games - not a religion. If only Nintendo games bring and 1/4 of all developers, then it is for me a pure Nintendo console - like the wiiu. If you have a different opinion, please accept the opinion of other people. The west Games-support does not look good, I find. Big games are important. But i wish you a great week.

I understand the thread. The thesis is: "no switch announcements...... does this bold well for its future? I think not...."

This is a thesis being disproven every week. That's why I questioned the decision to bump it. You clearly believe in the importance of these "blockbuster" games. The numbers indicate Switch is selling without them.

Not to mention his "blockbuster" list is a stretch of the term blockbuster.

He should just go and make another cliche "look at my systems games list" thread.

But no western gamez. Sales don't count. Also not Nintendo games. And japanese games pffft.

Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Read Dead Redemption 2, Star Wars Battlefront II, the next Shadow of Mordor & Need for Speed & Call of Duty and Pro Evolution Soccer, Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, Destiny 2, no Mass Effect Andromeda and Persona 5 in future, Tropico 6 and more new big Games & AAA-Games.

Fixed it for ya. Battlefront scored a meta in the 70's.. Need for Speed is nice and all, but most racing games are the same old thing over and over. Mario Kart is the only racing game I enjoy because it involves more than just racing. Sports games are also the same thing over and over. Destiny scored in the 70's and has been an unbalanced mess since release. The sequel won't fair much better. Splatoon 2 on the other hand will be miles ahead of Bungie's IP. Mass Effect Andromeda is the Dead Space 3 of the ME franchise. Just a quick cash grab sellout of a game. Tropico has never been big.

But only some. Most are still in the stage of denial where they tell themselves that Wii U had a good launch as well, so the numbers Switch achieves mean nothing.

The summer months will move most people from denial to anger, so there will be a lot more anti-Switch posts and threads.

Even after all these years, many are still in denial and anger about the Wii. You should not expect otherwise for Switch.
