But everyone in japan already has two Switches. How much more can they buy?

Switch' current total sales in Japan is 17M+ so you assume that 8.5M Japanese have bought Switch. But remember that the combined sales of 3DS and Wii U is about 28M. So based on your assumption, there are still almost 20M Japanese gamers out there who are still about to upgrade their consoles. Therefore, if your argument that Japanese Switch gamers should own 2 Switches, 40M+ Switches will still be sold for a whooping 57M lifetime total in the land of the rising sun ALONE. Better watch out PS2 and NDS, here comes the Switch!!!

the monsters look awesome but the environments not as much, great overall but I'm not as impressed as with Doom Eternal



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Overal, I think Hellblade still holds the title ofnthe most realistic game of the Switch

Since it uses FMVs, it loses the edge a bit. Witcher 3 and the DOOM games are truthfully more impressive. 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Cutscenes are like 10% of the game, so no.

But, I mean, it's still a notable loss. The other games don't have that compromise and I think they look equally as good.

I have almost never played any MH. So maybe this gives me some neutral objectivity.

The new Rise game looks to me awesome graphically, maybe the most advanced game that have seen for the Switch.

I needed to compare with World to remember that this was only a Switch and that we were still way under the level of the PS4.

Before I put both next to each other to compare, I had this instinctive short reaction in mind : "what ?! Is this as beautiful as the one on PS4 or almost?"

By looking more closely, we can see all the tricks that they have used to save the energy of the little Switch. I would say that they have put all the finesse on the monsters, and in comparison the landscape and the other characters are all in an inferior level of detail than the monsters.

Monster Hunter Rise (switch):

Monster Hunter World (PS4):

Monster Hunter Worlds looks alot better imo, world/enviroment much more detailed.

The environments take a bit of a hit in order to facilitate their scale, seamlessness, and the speed with which you can traverse them with the Palamutes and Wirebug, but if you compare it to other open world games on the Switch it holds up pretty well.

Wow, I haven’t looked into this game much just yet, only heard about it. This looks awesome, monsters and environments, I’m going to download the demo and give it a shot tomorrow, I loved monster hunter world on PS4 so this is very exciting!

Playing the demo shot it to the top for me in regards to technically impressive games on Switch.
