Tsutays Rankings Week 47 (Nov 16 - Nov 22)

3rd is Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War (PS4)

NSW: 15
PS4: 5

So  sakuna's Switch copies were entirely sold out in one week and there has been no restock.

We Can assume that it's a matter of weeks and available copies in that laps of time until the Switch version hits the million

TWEWY Neo is also announced for PS4. Another Nintendo exclusive third party game now making its way over to Playstation. Nintendo has now lost:

- MH

- DQ

- DQ (spinoff)

- KH (spinoff)

- RER

- AA

- YW

- TWEWY

- Harvest Moon

Only notable third party exclusives are OT, BD, SMT and MHR+S. Makes sense why Nintendo are paying publishers to have their AA games exclusive to SW.

So what else? What are you trying to prove? That studios want to make money? third parties would go multiplat if not being totally financed for a project. 

Assuming that Sony is not money hatting games for exclusivities is  just delusional. Due to the fact that third party exclusivities is no more a thing nowadays, Sony is paying fortunés for timed exclusivities. So coming from a Sony fan, not knowing such details is a bit weird. 

Third parties might have developed a Silly bias of automatically ignoring Nintendo consoles, but everytime the Switch prove them wrong. 

But to summ it up, TWEWY being on PS4 is only due to the fact that square wants to make more money not that they dont believe in Switch being sufficiently enough to sell well.

what? who are paying exclusives is sony ( leaked capcom demonstrate this). Nintendo rarely pays for exclusives, sony has a history of f.u.d and money-hat. Sony is highly dependent on thirds and fears Nintendo, the company makes 3 big loss for sony. In the handheld market, Nintendo never loses. It's a big record, not the Ps3 bleeding money. 

Nintendo doesn't need AAA, but the 3ds + wiiu + psvita library, plus the indies. Hades, a great game go first on Nintendo/PC. where sony with indies, besides moneyhat (fall guys free)?

So? Should we do a list of games that were slated to be PS4 exclusive and then came over to the Switch? Would be at least as long as yours...

And about the bolded part: Sony is the one with the constant moneyhatting to have games on their platform, not Nintendo. That has been proven time and again.

First of all, does it really matter? Series like MH and DQ have been on PS before so why does it matter? You also forgot that the PS4 was considered the primary console for DQXI until SE decided to include a 3DS version and then a Switch version thanks to Iwata.

Second, I think it’s more likely that the Switch version of Neo: TWEWY will outsell the PS4 version since there’s an established audience on Nintendo consoles.

Third, there are a bunch of games (Japan and outside of  Japan) that were once PS/Xbox games that are now coming to Switch. So we can go the opposite of what you’re posting.

So not sure what you’re trying to prove here.

Lets be honest here, the Switch version is gonna outsell the Playstation version by a good margin considering the history of the franchise and how JRPG's been performing on Switch especially in the last year or two.

Games going PS4/Switch multiplat has benefit the Switch so much more than the other way around. I doubt Nintendo loses sleep over "losing" exclusives when they still get the game anyway.

For sure, PS4 is dead in the water now. 3rd parties have much more chance for spotlight by releasing on PS5/ Switch.

And when it comes to Japan though, that is assuming that PS5 doesn't continue the decline Playstation has been facing in Japan. Though it should get sequels to some of the big heavy hitters on the PS4 sooner, since it looks like FFXVI could release as early as late 2021 and if those documents from the Capcom aren't outdated, the follow up to Monster Hunter World is 2023. Both of those have a good chance of not hitting Switch, but for another big sequel to a PS4 game, DQXII. I think is that gonna be multiplat with Switch and PS5 with the former being the lead platform for the game and Nintendo definitely more likely to help market then Sony.

And the moment DQ goes switch exclusive, as unlikly as that is, its over in japan
