They functionally already don't, and steam pushing more and more anti-japan policies and moderation means it's also going the way of snoy as they were around the tail end of the PS3 era.
The death of westoid indies also means steam is effectively the PS6 release.

It has been years since Xbox became irrelevant. GamePass is a good strategy, but the fact that it's also available on PC makes the console itself completely irrelevant. Meanwhile PS keeps shooting itself on the foot and the only reason they aren't doing Xbox numbers is because they still have a certain amount of brand loyalty, but anyone with a brain would have jumped ship as soon as they began raising prices for their 5 year old console. The fact that they're still releasing games on PS4, an almost 12 year old console, only speaks about how much of a failure the PS5 generation has been as a whole.

>>713703181
Nice

>>713703309
Buying games physically is literally the only thing they care about. Nintendo put a giant WARNING, WARNING, WARNING sign on the box that says it's a fake physical edition and they avoided it. If the release was physical it'd do twice the switch numbers.

I was bored and ran some numbers.

~19,248 copies sold on PS5 (6.902.946 hardware sold) - purchased by 0,27% of PS5 owners.

~5,783 copies sold on Switch 2 (1.241.162 hardware sold) - purchased by 0,47% of Switch 2 owners

3.5 million sold, not shipped, within the first 4 days after release, the fastest console sold in history. Considering this current Famitsu report, the Switch has already sold 18% of the PS5's lifetime sales in Japan in just 2-3 weeks, but we need to wait for the next quarterly report to have the actual worldwide numbers, since the Famitsu report doesn't include sales from online shops.

>>713703458
In theory, yes, but when the games being released at the moment also get a Switch 1 version which comes with the full game, people would rather go for that instead. There's no reason whatsoever to buy Raidou for Sw2 when the Sw1 version has the whole game in the cart.

>>713702548
Why does he act like SF6 sold 1 million on PS5 lmfao

>>713703309
Hard to say.
It was initially speculated across the internet that Japan themselve doesn't really care about digital/physical divides, and that download code purchase from store counts as physical sale according to famitsu(packed in title included), as such don't seem to have issue against key card.
However, after the initial two weeks, people here noticed that key cards are notably selling lower than non-keycard/switch 1 counterparts and now instead, speculated even the Japanese themselves isn't fond of the keycard. People here even suspect that keycard was actually a trap made by nintendo to demonstrate that the more expensive switch 2 cartridge is still more profitable than the keycards and they fucked themselves over.
Do note that even for a game less than 12gb, Nintendo themselves still use the 64gb NS2 card.
It's also worth nothing that some has questioned why didn't nintendo simply let the devs to convert Switch cartridge to switch 2 cartridge like they did Switch 1 compatible switch 2 edition cartridge.

I mean, it functionally is indeed a trap, likely as a middle finger to third parties like SE and crapcom that loved to cry about switch 1 cart sizes being too small and other similar copes.
If the 64gb is too big and too expensive, devs can just optimize the game and release a switch 1 version and enjoy one of the biggest console install bases in history, even rivaling mobile at this point, while still enjoying the benefits of switch 2 performance upgrades.

Switch 2 is failing lmao

>>713703848
>Do note that even for a game less than 12gb, Nintendo themselves still use the 64gb NS2 card.
From what I understood, it's not because they don't want to offer the option, it just doesn't exist due to the new technology, the minimum size of SW2 carts is 64GB.

I think Kojima is going to be a bit pissed off at all his momentum for DS2 sales crashing and burning because he put it on a normalfag console where no one will play it. Should've released it on PC, hideo.

>>713704415
Rise 2 is pretty inevitable, handheld team (i.e the real monster hunter devs) have got to be working on something.

>>713702591
What's SKG?

>>713704312
Hard data doesn't care about your hurt feelings.

>>713704519
150k Switch 2s a week is about 600k a month.
Multiply that by 6 months and we get 3.6m.
High sales for sure, but unfortunately nowhere near enough.

>>713704610
>Switch 1 is DOUBLE the PS5.
>DOUBLE
That's just down right embarrassing

>>713703773

>>713703848
Personally if a game I wanted was only on a key card I would likely just buy it digitally, key cards are less convenient because you both need to download the game and have the card inserted to play.

>>713704608

>>713704719
if you go to the fiscal year end that's another 1.8m more, which gets them pretty damn close.

Why does he even repeat this argument? If you take orders into account instead of sales then the Switch 2's advantage is even greater.

>>713704415
>P3rd might finally be toppled
Wew

The only thing that makes me apprehensive about that is that Rise 2/P6th might take a non-zero amount of influence from Wilds

>>713704779
Who talked about Japan? Death Stranding 2 will absolutely have dogshit sales worldwide until PC bails it out.

>>713703823
I didn't even know Nintendo Pictures was a thing.

>>713704648
Iirc it was an alternative to DKP used by much more casual guilds, where instead of having a point total you just had a ranking and any time you claimed a boss drop it sent you to the bottom of the rankings.

>>713704719
They might push more of Europe supply to Japan for Christmas
God I hope they do

>>713704086
To be more specific, while I understand why nintendo might not be able to make lower than 64gb cartridge, the question asked is that what is it that prevented them from using a switch 1 carts to only hold a switch 2 game to lower the production cost, given that it can still locks switch 1 from operating a switch 2 game, and that switch 1 is backward compatible.

If I had to guess, it probably to ensure that game still load fast enough to give satisfying experience or doesn't come off as defective, or to prevent a complicated error that might occurs down the line given that switch 2 need an initial update to be backward compatible.

I still don't understand why Japanese are so FUCKING stupid and keep buying Switches when the Switch 2 is around the corner or there are way better options like MSI Claw, Steam OLED or ROG Ally X

Not to mention that PS5 is just a better and more powerful console.

The United States of America should nuke Japan again ASAP

>>713704819
>might take a non-zero amount of influence from Wilds
Ichinose is probably giving noogies to the mainline team with the blank check he got to make Rise 2. No way he makes the same mistakes. He knew what not to take from World.

>>713704846
They bought an animation studio recently, i dont remember how was it called before, and they were working on DS2 since before they were bought by Nintendo

>>713704648
Stop killing games.
But it's not a good thing since it's ignorant European mainlanders essentially gunning for government intervention for a problem that could be solved by simply not buying games they don't like much like nips are doing with the game keys right now.
To top it of it would enable scummy FOMO practices since one of the demands is not to remove drm from games but to add dates if they intend to.

>>713704846
Nintendo bought an animation studio and made that company last year.

>>713704720
wish I had saved the anon that said the Switch 1 sales would just tank to double digits after the Switch 2 released. specially how the post also mentioned that PS5 would start to sell 50-100k weekly while Switch 2 would sell 5-10k weekly lmao

>>713704884
>while I understand why nintendo might not be able to make lower than 64gb cartridge
It's not Nintendo, it's literally impossible. Like on a technological level.
>what is it that prevented them from using a switch 1 carts to only hold a switch 2 game to lower the production cost
They probably didn't even ask lmao

>>713704020
which side is he on?
And if my guess is correct, which corpo is he defending.

>>713704920
Holy shit i just read what i posted, i need coffee

>>713704884
really there's no reason they couldn't have used Switch 1 carts as "install carts" that have the game but still need to install it to run, without requiring a download from the internet. Of course 64GB (or even 16GB) switch 1 carts are probably more expensive than third parties want to shell out for

>>713704719
They will probably focus on shipping as many units to the US as they can before the tariff situation changes again

>>713704945
>To top it of it would enable scummy FOMO practices since one of the demands is not to remove drm from games but to add dates if they intend to.
Nintendo literally does that and it's fine, hell they get points for going above and beyond when they extend support for a game after the 2 years. Trust me, it's not a bad thing to smack these fuckers in the nose.

>>713704885
>when the Switch 2 is around the corner
You need to update your pasta

>>713704884
Switch 1 carts are 6 times slower than Switch 2. And they might have signed a contract with the cart makers

>>713704884
>If I had to guess, it probably to ensure that game still load fast enough to give satisfying experience or doesn't come off as defective,
the thing is, if a game is optimized enough to run on a switch 1 cart in the first place, it's optimized enough to have acceptable load times in a switch 1 cart
this is the kind of shit that prove key cards are a trap for kike publishers trying to cheap out but still having the "prestige" so to speak of releasing on the switch 2

>>713704640

>Nintendo literally does that and it's fine, hell they get points for going above and beyond when they extend support for a game after the 2 years.
What are you even talking about? SKG isn't about supporting games it's about drm essentially disabling games completely. Not one Nintendo game has been rendered completely unplayable without online because they don't use drm.

>>713705158
>because Nintendo has literally never done that
Nintendo does that though? Every time they release a game with continuous updates promised they always say "2 years of support". Sure it's not always online, but if you scroll up above you'll see that Nintendo creates offline versions of their GaaS like Pocket Camp.

>>713705040
that would be a comically stupid move when westoids are a dead market that don't buy games

So, Sega fucked up and released numbers for their games for every fiscal year starting in 2020
https://www.segasammy.co.jp/cms/wp-content/uploads/pdf/en/ir/20250618_Management_large_MTG_all_e.pdf
Notice the huge explosion in P5R sales once the game released on Switch. Also notice how P3R hasn't outsold P5R's yearly sales despite sega claiming it was their fastest game to 1 million and bla bla bla.
ALSO SMTV Vengeance still hasn't outsold the Switch exclusive release of the OG SMTV

>>713705306
God what a faggot

>>713702691

Anon, Nintendo has never had always online drm in their games. That's what skg is about, not just updating games with new content.

>>713705101
I want you, yes (you) to be aware that you are the reason the internet got so bad.

>>713705345
>SMTV outsold Persona3Reload
HAHAHAHAHAH

From what I've heard, over 80% of S2s sold were the MKW bundle, so that may explain the drop.

>>713705204
from what i hear 150k is literally the hard cap on manufacturing for japan
it may be higher tho given this does not count nintendo's own store, but by how much is anyone's guess

>>713705267
>>713705408
True I made a retarded comparison. But to be honest I would just like for every dev that makes GaaS shit to eventually release complete editions with all the content for a flat fee like Nintendo does. Now if only they could get Cygames to do it for dragalia :(

It's literally what companies asked and don't be surprised if companies out there make the worst decisions in business, they're all run by retards. Sony made Concord the biggest flop of all time, Microsoft wasted what 70 billion and just went third party, facebook wasted tens of billions on meta crap. Third party companies are just stupidly greedy and they don't care if they have to pay literal cents or whatever for a bluray, they wanna go digital only and screw all consumers and fans over. Some of these companies are pissing away decades of hard work and legacy.

I think it can sell 600k-1 million. Nintendo have been growing more and more in popularity and the fact Switch 2 is cheaper in Japan has been Nintendo more popular than ever

Can someone explain the problem with the new Mario Kart update? I'd ask in those mario kart threads but I have a feeling those threads are made by that schizo to cope and I'd get called a "bootlicker" there

I honestly believe this isn't a jape because people like this unironically do exist. I had a friend who bought Anthem because he thought it looked like it would be popular and never even played that shit. I called him a bit of a dunce for buying an online game I knew he wasn't going to play before that shit shut down.

>>713707379
Is this still a thing with the switch 2? I heard China hasn't had an official launch over there

Death to game journals. It's funny Sony and Microsoft follow after Nintendo, they too understand how shitty game journals are

>Pokémon Unite is a 2021 free-to-play multiplayer online battle arena video game developed by TiMi Studio Group and published by The Pokémon Company for Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch. It was announced in a Pokémon Presents presentation on 24 June 2020 as a partnership between The Pokémon Company and TiMi Studio Group owner Tencent Games.

Redundant statement. Most of those microtransactions are from third party games and people pay for PS Plus so they can play third party games.

>>713707584
Thats true, my fellow esl friend

>>713706907
When choosing a track online, you normally have to play two intermission laps where you drive from the previously played track to the new one, and you only get to play one lap of the actual track chosen, but players found that they can play the whole 3 laps of a track by choosing Random instead. Nintendo just released an update that forces Random to also include the intermission laps, so people are rightfully upset because most of those laps are just straight lines with little to no tricks, shortcuts or fun strats involved.

Additionally, playing on intermission tracks makes bagging way too overpowered because you rarely have to use the stronger items due to, again, the lack of shortcuts during the straight tracks, so online play will surely devolve into people sticking to the back to farm for Golden Mushrooms, Lightnings and Bullet Bills to use them as soon as they reach the third lap. It is objectively a terrible change, especially when intermission tracks work way better on Knockout Tour.

The PS5 did not sell 1.24 million units until 3/21/2022, 16 months post release

Wait, so you CAN still get three course laps in random? Everyone was screaming like you no longer could at all.

The straight line intermission tracks are part of the random rotation now, so there's no escaping those boring corridors anymore. Thank fuck I don't bother with online faggotry otherwise I'd feel ripped off.

>>713706881
Can you use your switch 2 as a pc?

>>713707869
Yeah, you can, and the intermissions random now selects are only the 3 you get as options when selecting a new track, so the ratio still heavily favors the 3 laps.

>>713706254
I'm going to be pessimistic and say 250-300k. I don't know if DK is a big draw in Japan.
Then again, Pikmin was never a big seller before Pikmin 4, and that broke 400k week 1, so I'd love to be proven wrong.

>>713707927

And now Fortnite is on Switch 2 so what do you think is gonna happen? Revenue/profit will skyrocket and 30% will go to Nintendo.

When have they officially announced a year to release a game and then delay it, even though the game is finished?

>>713712226
They've done it with so many major releases in the past, announce a year and regretfully announce to wait a little bit longer. Who remembers Brawl? Moving the release from December to March at the 11th hour because of Sanic. I know they've been better as of late but it's a gut feeling.

Try Ultimate, they said 2018, and guess what? It came out in 2018.

I didn't say wait 3 years for games, by the end of the year you will have a decent selection to choose from and hopefully more patches, but you don't need to rush, those games aren't out yet and while I'm going to enjoy Donkey Kong I don't see it as a big must have game.

Get it repaired, you're going to need to to get your saves off anyway.

Cubies really do live in a different reality huh

Switch era has been really different, Nintendo has been sitting on finished games for months/years just waiting for the right time to release them.

Sony changed the wording for the 'turn off auto-renewal' option to 'cancel subscription'.

>>713712462
>>713712678
Are you both retarded? Brawl was a wii game.

>>713712132
Sony removed the ability to turn off PS+ auto-renewal. Hope you didn't give them your payment info!

>>713712720
But it won't cancel your subscription? Or does this mean you're not allowed to turn off auto payments now?

>>713712874
Such a shady ass company.

>>713712874
No way this is true. We'd hear people complaining

>>713712972
You cannot turn off auto-payments anymore without cancelling the subscription outright.

I tried to fix it myself battery, but I figured I'd be better off getting a Switch 2 first, then getting my old Switch looked at.

>>713712972
It's made the wording ambiguous, but it still has the same outcome. Some people are just afraid of toggling it because they think they'd be instantly cut off.
