It will be very interesting how Monster Hunter Rise does in Asia, especially if Capcom is able to make through the Chinese regulatory body.

this gen might mark the first time that sony actually might struggle to retain relevency in a major market since they started, as it is incresingly clear that if you want to sell your game in japan, you make it for switch.

And if everyone goes to switch/ps5 cross platform, that just makes sure that ps5 can't really leverage the extra power it has going for it. and game devs would also rather use HD textures then put more work into UHD textures, meaning less dev costs and more profit by just dog a straight switch realese. and its not like they'd struggle to get foriegn audiences with the switch either at this point...

Ergo, any japanese dev that doesn't have a game set for realese on the switch by next year is just STUPID

Level - 5 bet on 3ds and PS4. Came late for switch and died. Rip. Ni no Kuni didn’t go anywhere in the west.

Still remember the ceo snarky comments about the switch in 2017...

Please don't twist things, no one said it didn't sell well in Japan people questioned your 4m figure for Japan and the fact that 3.18m is shown you just proved all of us right for reference:

Here is what I calculated once all the at the time available sources were looked at.

I calculated 3.3m your own "leak" has 3.18m so it's even lower than what I estimated, here is another of your post for reference pushing 3.5m to 4m suggesting closer to 4m:

Effectively you just proved all of us right on the prior matter on all counts as well.

and the 10-12M only on PS4 too.

Level 5 handle our franchise poorly - Professor Layton, Inazuma Eleven, and Yokai Watch go from success to the abyss because of saturation.

Sakuna really has become one of those great little stories of a plucky low budget game achieving big success through strong word of mouth and charm over raw production values. Lucky for them that Nintendo was able to talk them into bringing it to Switch when they didn't originally plan to.

Momotaro just announced it's second milestone, the game has already surpassed 750K in Japan barely two weeks after it's launch.
Next milestone will be 1 million and that would put it ahead of MGS IV, making it Konami's best selling game in 20 years. https://t.co/IaSbcNLwtn

A completely delusional post, something I would expect in Media create threads tbh.

Dev costs are done by hours not by tech. A UE5 game taking 10,000 dev hours costs the same as a UE3 game taking 10,000 dev hours. Engines like UE5/Unity are so feature rich that even Indie devs, or small teams, can make spectacular looking games.

There are also plenty of JP relevant games out on PS4 and SW will never be a universal solution, as even with its almost double install base, titles perform better or on par of PS4. Like Persona Scramble, Atelier, Nocturne HD, Pro Baseball etc

3.18 does not include ME, which includes World. You're easily looking at 3.5 million+ which is exactly what I was predicting.

Nice try lol

Not sure why that one guy tries to point out 10-12 million like its some error. PS4 MHW is already nearing 9 million. It will easily reach 10 million before MHW2 lmao

More leaked sales

Okami HD
Switch - 600K
PC - 536K
PS3 - 529K
PS4 - 445K
X1 - 121K

PS: Nintendo : PC : XB
44 : 27 : 24 : 5

PS software sales almost bigger than all other platforms combined.

We already saw this with MHW, where PS4 sales (53%) was greater than everything else combined. Its no wonder Capcom and Playstation have gotten very close the past gen: Capcoms entire bottom line relies more on PS than everything else combined.

I'd expect things to be even more skewed to Playstation for Square Enix
