They're usually reliable I guess. It's just so hard to have hope after nearly a year of constant disappointment and silence.

to be fair, its mostly cause of COVID-19 throwing every scedule out the window. and you know how nintendo usually doesn't like announcing games unless they are pretty close to realese. plus, getting everyone in a studio is a risk, and especially nintendo, who KNOWS thier personnel is the most important part of their company, might not be willing to risk it.

more then nintendo though, I think its more becasue third parties are in chaos

The big question is: Will the Switch be able to reach double the sales before the launch of the Lite makes that close to impossible? It's just 250k behind doubling last year's sales in the same timeframe, so it's quite possible if the sales can stay around 110k weekly.

DBZ? Where a late Switch port outsold the original PS4 release? Yeah, right...

Also, FF XV is available on XBO, and more crucially, PC. Those 7M are across all platforms (actually, it's 8.9M by now), and I doubt PS4 makes more than 5M out of them. Also, considering all the hype around the game, FF7R sales can be described as lackluster at best. It passed 5M just recently, where the original sold twice that on a much smaller install base.

Does it have a chance??? It has to do it before W38 but I dunno.... 110k weekly won’t do the trick, it has to be done by week 34 cuz 35-37 NSW would need 200k weeklys for. Check it out below....

2019 (x2) vs 2020!!!

W32: 3566k - 3314k

W33: 3666k

W34: 3726k

W35: 3907k 

W36: 4062k

W37: 4165k

W38: lol 

edit: it needs to sell 413k in 2 weeks, but the drop after ObON might be rough. I can see W33 doing 250k, if it does then it would need 163k the following week. Or maybe but only if W33 is massive with something like 300k then it’s definitely more doable with a follow up at 113k weekly

looking at week35 it needs just under 600k in 3 weeks, that’s when hope is lost imo. Let’s hope it gets 413k sales then!!

Yeah, I miscalculated. I took the numbers from now for last year instead of in 5 weeks, my bad. Which means it would need 172k per week, and that's just too much.

So you're saying that third parties should just ignore the Switch, even when its selling at a record breaking pace worldwide (especially in Japan)?

I hope DQ12 comes to Switch, alongside PS4 and/or PS5. It would be a waste and a shame to ignore an established userbase (in Japan and the rest of the world) that has already connected with DQ with the Builder games, DQXIS, and the first three games of the mainline series that were ported to Switch. Not to mention having the Hero included in Smash Ultimate, the best-selling fighting game of all-time.

Only if your going to that week, don’t lose  hope for these 2 weeks!!

Yeah it would be incredibly foolish not to release DQ12 on Switch when the series is Japan-centric in sales and Playstation as a platform is getting less and less relevant there.

Well yeah that's a no brainer. DQXI launched on 3DS so Switch will obviously take the place of 3DS. Probably only reason it launched (way) late on Switch is because development started way before the Switch launched since the game came out just a few months after the Switch launch, and they probably didn't make the Switch port a priority after that because having just launched they knew the Switch user base would be low for a bit.

DQXII will obviously have a same day launch on Switch and the Switch sales should completely dwarf Sony sales of the game.
