Ergh... who makes announcements with concept art anymore? Give us gameplay.

This tells me nothing.

Concept art? There are in game screenshots aswell. 

Yeah i skimmed it over cause it all looked alike. 

Screenshots look good, but they are usually doctored, so i still want to see actual gameplay.

Code Vein as I have read all the information is like Dark Soul and Bloodborne with anime style of artwork. Just by looking at the screenshot it's dark. The Blood reminds me of BloodBorne it heals you everytime you kill an enemy. Blood enables you to power up your skills. I thnk Code Vein will apply that setup.

For most people looks is very important. This game has anime look, which alone repels a lot western buyers (for whatever crazy reasons). Add to that, that this is a futuristic setting with strong fantasy-elements - not a thing that is very popular in the west. No, this will sell more in Japan than in each other region, more than in NA or eruope. And if it sells strongest in Japan, your whole argument is broken. Willing to bet against me, that it will not sell strongest in Japan?

Is it? There does this come from?

XB1 and PS4 are very similar. They have nearly identical AMD CPU's, and they both have AMD GPU's. The main difference between XB1 and PS4 is that it takes a bit more effort from devs to properly utilize the DDR3+ eSRAM setup on XB1, compared to the GDDR5 on PS4. The difference between Switch and PS4 is much bigger. The difference in GPU power is huge, Switch is 192 gflops in handheld mode, PS4 is over 1800 gflops, nearly 10x more powerful on paper (the real world power difference is likely smaller, but likely at least 7x more powerful). Switch uses ARM CPU cores, which are a good bit different from the AMD x86 cores that XB1 and PS4 both use. Switch also has just 2 GB of RAM available to devs, XB1 and PS4 both allow devs to use 5.5 GB of RAM. There should be no doubt that a port between XB1 and PS4 is easier than a port between PS4 and Switch. 

Sorry, no dev cares about the CPU, this takes the compiler care of. GPU might be trickier, but mostly thats still framework. If RAM is DDR3 or GDDR5 makes no difference in developing, in testing you might find different loading times.

You talked a lot about hardware, but not one word about software (toolkit, APIs and stuff), although software is what is actually important for the difficulty to develop or to port.

Agreed. Namco is already releasing their Souls series on Xbox whre it sells pretty well, I see no reason why they won't release this on Xbox too, considering they've been implying it's aimed at a similar audience.

Also, I just remembered that when Phil Spencer went to Japan the last time to talk to Japanese devs, he mentioned that he stopped at Namco Bandai and that he saw a new JRPG while he was in Japan, I have a feeling that was this game. He most likely convinced them to release it on XB1 while he was there. 

Thats why it baffled me people here discounting XB1 already without even checking the details of the game and basing it on the screenshot. Just because it is an anime styled game. I mean dragon ball and Naruto has an XB1 version and those are anime styled games.

It can go to Switch but saying that there's no XB1 is also unlikely.  

Not a great argument. Naruto and Dragon Ball Z are incredibly popular in the western world. They're beyond just being anime. Now, what happened to less popular anime games made by Bamco - Fist of the North Star, Saint Seiya, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Gundam , Jump Ultimate Stars ext? Any time XBOX gets any love from Bamco, its from series already popular in the west - Tekken, Soul Calibur, Souls.

 Where do you think Code Vein fall's?

I'll buy it if it's on Switch, everything is now meaningless if I can't take it on the road unless it's on PC.

For most people great gameplay is very imortant as well. 

I will not bet with you about how it will sell in Japan because this could be a sleeper hit in Japan with Darksoul and BloodBorne Vibe. 

But I am willing to bet about the PS4/XB1 over PS4/switch. 

Anyway, I also believe it will come to Switch. I am just arguing about the people not including the XB1.

I am just arguing that Anime style of games can sell to Xb1.

As for your question based on the way they announced the game the main target is not just Japan but worldwide so the it will not be treated as the one you mentioned above.
