Which is impressive in a country that X1 sales are very abysmall and racers aren't that hot anymore.

It would have been nice if it still was bit more popular in Japan.  Since they really had some very good car paints that where made by Japanese users in earlier Forza games especially in the second game.

What this means in the big picture is that Nintendo's trajectory of absorbing Sony's third party support - a trend that started with the DS in generation 7 - is bound to continue. More and more Japanese developers and publishers are running out of options to refrain from developing for a Nintendo console.

A lot of Japanese third party devs have put their hopes in capturing Western audiences instead of going over to Nintendo. Games like Dark Souls, Neir: Automata, Nioh, and Monster Hunter are all going multiplatform, or at least getting a PC release. But you're talking about AA devs leaving Sony's PS2 and heading to Nintendo's  DS in the mid 2000s right? At this point I think almost all the relevant AA devs have already switched to Nintendo. Obviously developers/publishers like Falcom, Namco Bandai, From Software, and Sega aren't going to jump ship to the Switch. Those companies are all aiming for AAA graphics, and western audiences. They can do AAA graphics better on PS4/PC than they can Switch, and the audience of those two platforms will be bigger than Switch.  So what third party support is Nintendo going to steal from Sony? 

I mean I would love to see Nintendo return to the glory days of the SNES, but I just don't see them getting all that Japanese third party support when the PS4/PC offer bigger audiences.  

Edit: Ok, Falcom isn't exactly a AAA developer so maybe they will switch to Switch.

Oh, so you really did do that thread? You let Kero under your skin?

He was right that I hadn't made a thread in a while. Plus I wanted to make one since over a week.

It doesn't excuse you following the advice of an entitled frog.

Falcom is definitely not making AAA graphics, but rather one of the remaining publishers who haven't been making games for a Nintendo console. Namco and Sega have a broad portfolio in terms of budget, so they are partly on Nintendo already.I think From Software's Dark Souls games were published by Namco, so they are redundant in your list.

When I talk about absorption, I am not refering to exclusivity. Many of the developers who didn't already make games for a Nintendo console can be expected to shift towards PS4/Switch multiplatform development (can obviously include PC as well), because Switch's portability either opens up access to a new audience or takes over the audience of the Vita; there have been quite a few games released for PS3, PS4 and/or Vita in the past. Since there are so few games coming from Japan that could be labeled as AAA as it is understood in the West, PS4/PC/Switch makes a lot more sense than PS4/PC alone, especially for games that have a high share in domestic sales. That's because it's only a matter of time until Switch passes the PS4 in Japan while the PC platform is historically rather unpopular.

Ah, I see. That makes a lot more sense. I thought you were saying that Nintendo would somehow magically steal Sony's third party support away from PS4/PC. So specifically what games or franchises are you predicting will come to the Switch? I need a list. I need names.

Does this mean that you agree with Rol's analysis? Wow, TruckOSaurus was right after all.

This post pretty much confirms that Kerotan turned Rol into his puppet to get around his own thread restrictions, and the ban on alt accounts.

Bravo, Kerotan!

Someone explain this shit to me. Why is Kerotan banned from making these types of threads?
