Switch games costing less on average since the PS4 likely has a higher number of $60 titles in its library... Though on second thought, the number of indie titles on PS4 priced under $60 is likely larger as well. The PS4 has been around longer after all.

Whatever the case, I still don't see Yamashita making any implication with regards to quality in the paragraphs from the OP. Just competitiveness.

I'm not so sure they're, as you put it, 'fucking over' PlayStation gamers. It may sound like it judging by

"PS4-wise it’s going to be just digital. That’s the deal. We will not release a packaged version for PS4 format"

but there also appears to be a collector's edition as well...

Odd...

Yes, it is a limited release, but I just wanted to clarify that a physical release does indeed exist, not sure why he said it's just going to be digital when it's not true.

I find the outrage at the deal with Nintendo a bit hypocritical and insincere, to be honest, when no one seems to mind that it was stated in the article there was previously a deal with Sony and that the game was PS4 only originally. I'm not sure if console exclusivity WAS the deal, but it just shows that all companies use similar tactics. People only get mad when it's not their company/console of choice.

Pretty sure I already conceded that he didn't say quality. You have yet to admit he wasn't talking about pricing, though.

And of course the average is higher on PS4, there are a lot more AAA titles. There are also significantly more indie titles under $10, and the sales on PSN are much deeper than anything I've personally witnessed on Switch.

No one cares about publishers shafting platforms other than their favorite.  Shoot, some people spend considerable energy championing publishers screwing over other platforms and "staying loyal".  And defend things like Sony money hatting Street Fighter V.

Reality is it is all bullshit and anticonsumer.  Every healthy platform with a vibrant ecosystem should get every multiplat that it can reasonably run.  End of story.  But people are more concerned about their little console wars than what is actually pro-consumer.

I mean I can think of a few people *in this very thread* who right now are shaking their fists in righteous indignation that if the statement had come out and said "well we were thinking about a Switch version and Nintendo offered to help but then Sony promised to buy a lot of physical copies and act as distributor so it's going to be digital only on Switch" they would be nodding their heads at how very wise that is or even applauding them for staying loyal and telling Switch owners to quit bitching.  I know this because at least a couple have *said as much in other threads*.  

Indeed, you did.

I'm not 100% sure he wasn't: "A lot of PS4 titles are coming up, so the market is very competitive. Compared to that, the Switch market still has lots of room for publishers to make money."

You make reference to deeper sales on PSN versus the Switch as well.

Maybe Yamashita was thinking about this as well?..

*shrugs*

If we're going to argue what we think he meant, stick to that.

But if we're going to argue what he said verbatim, then stick with that.

You can't say "He never said that, but here's my interpretation:"

It doesn't. He did say that it doubled the PS4 version in the West though.

Edit: I see I misread that like most of the people in the thread. Disgaea 5 Switch has sold very well for them though. It'll likely never outsell the PS4 version completely worldwide, but NISA is obviously betting on Switch over Playstation.

Also, I wanted to note that this is NISA talking, who is primarily a localization studio not an actual developer. They're not the ones deciding where Disgaea 6 or any NIS properties are developed for. Only for the titles they wish to port over themselves.

?

...I don't think I ever said that he never said something.
