[Sad news] Sony's "Palworld Entertainment" reports final loss of 42 million yen for fiscal year ending March 2025

Palworld Entertainment's final loss for the fiscal year ending March 2025 was 42 million yen. This was revealed in the "Financial Results Announcement" published in the "Official Gazette" on June 30th.

The company is a joint venture between Sony Music Entertainment (SME), Aniplex, and Pocket Pair.

It was established in July 2024 to promote the domestic and international licensing business for Pocket Pair's game "Palworld."

QRD?

>>715141409
the fuck is that tho

>>715141452
Circana is more games sales data. Not sure on region.
But it'll be the Wednesday before we get first numbers on DK Bananza. So the next two weeks are gonna be a fucking trip.

>>715141452
circana is US data, the issue is they only report revenue instead of actual sales, they used to report sales but changed to revenue when nintendo overtook sony in units sold.
They also don't count digital sales on nintendo and xbox

>>715141621
>They also don't count digital sales on nintendo and xbox
Let me guess, they do count snoy's.

>>715141735

Guys just because eric is a retard doesn't mean it's okay to be retarded in the opposite direction.

Nintendo doesn't contribute eshop data on their own games but that doesn't mean other publishers can't just let Circana corroborate their data. Likewise the only thing that Xbox has as asterisk around is MLB The Show, everything else is provided.

>>715142162
They can though.
Retard fuck just missed his attack by like 3 polygons.
I was incredibly lucky his aim was off/timing too early.
Game is great, just becomes uber sweat pit at high silver/low gold and filters my arse.

>>715141381
As I said before, they are acting like a Pacific Island cargo cult
>this retarded clusterfuck of a corporate governance and IP ownership structure worked for pokemon
>so if we copy it for our pokemon ripoff will become as big and successful as pokemon!
Fucking CEOs acting like uncontacted melanesian tribes getting hooked on spam and booze rations

Posting again because I want to gloat.
I predicted the EDP team that was handling Bananza was a junior wing and that we wouldn't have anything to worry about for the new Mario, and the new IGN interview and all the others have proven this to be fact.
Kenta Motokura (Odyssey's director) is overseeing the project in a producer role of course, but he's overseeing what is basically a junior, extremely fresh hire in Kazuya Takahashi who only joined Nintendo in 2020. (As a note, I found NOTHING online about him. I have no idea who he is)

>>715143180
surely sony is losing out worst from this shit rather than pocketpair right? or did sony have foresight for that much at least this time?
What a fuck tarded decision eitherway
BONUS: new gamefreak scam soon!

>>715143180
>worked for pokemon
More like was a necessity. Such short sided thinking with no perspective on the past. TPC was created ad hoc because game freak accidentally did the gaming equivalent of striking an oil well with your shovel while trying to plant their turnips and out of necessity asked the mayor of the city and some random businessmen in town to help him so they could split everything 3-ways.

>>715143180
thats not surprising when the CEO of pocketpair openly stated his company just tries to copy whatever is popular as close as they possibly can

>>715143232
You found nothing on him, really?
How old is this guy?
>Takahashi#2
Monolith discussions gonna get confusing if this guy gets big.
Lmao.
Still...a brand new hire with virtually no track record, given reignas for a huge legacy Ip and clearly a bold front facing game by leading the Switch2 so early.
Absolutely massive fucking risk being taken here, but I think it's panning to really well Bananza looks fantastic as a game. Interested to finally get it and see what this second EPD....8? team can do.
These Junior projects usually turn out pretty strong (ARMS, Splatoon, Labo/game builder garage [these two while not huge sellers were still rated well and build up a specific niche]).

>>715143232
After some research I think I found him? He's the only one who aligns with the timeline. It obviously isn't the Square Enix character designer, but there's another Kazuya Takahashi that is ALSO Square Enix, our guy at Nintendo says he has experience with open worlds, and this 2nd Takahashi was the Quest Director for Final Fantasy XV and the director of fucking... Final Fantasy XV: Comrades. If so, Jesus what a glow up. They've been training him like crazy.

>>715143180
unironically how in the absolute fuck can any bean counter look at the absolute fucking shitshow that is TPC's rights and ownership issues and think
>hmm, yes, this is exactly the thing that would streamline production and give us bags of money!
forget any bean counter, the bean counters that spent fucking MONTHS crying at the judges over big ebil microsoft stealing cawadooty from them

>>715143589
>and this 2nd Takahashi was the Quest Director for Final Fantasy XV and the director of fucking... Final Fantasy XV: Comrades.
What a miserable fucking record. Though if anything that seems to be Square not knowing how to utilize their talent (to no one's shock).
So let's see where this shit goes.

>>715143589
>and the director of fucking... Final Fantasy XV
there's no fucking way
i require proof of his ass on the FF15 credits

>>715143627
>how in the absolute fuck can any bean counter look at the absolute fucking shitshow that is TPC's rights and ownership issues
'ey, finally my corporate media course proves useful. I know why. Because economics people are addicted to simplicity, TPC is conceptually extremely simple, it's a private company with 3 shareholders that split everything 3 ways, and each has veto power considering decisions have to be unanimous in corporate structures. It's an extremely streamlined corporate structure, any econ major (not my major, but I know a couple) would salivate to have that simple of a co-ownership deal.

Pretty good, the Switch 2 edition increased from 2.1k last week.

>>715143717
Quest design is genuinely the best part of FFXV, the side content is actually decent to good.
>>715143751
The multiplayer expansion Comrades, not the main game. Which is actually interesting, Comrades was sort of a metal gear online deal, it was a weirdly enjoyable and well constructed experience.

>surely, the secret to their success was the bureaucratic nightmare and gnarled mess of their ip rights that you could literally sell as an entire specialization of law at an ivy league school if the full details of it were public

Basically it was a small co-op campaign set in the 10 year night of FFXV, and it is gameplay-wise probably one of the best pieces of content for the game. I like it.

>>715143832
Yeah, I was >>715139360
I still think there's something far more desperate to it in modern times, which is why I referred to it as "proto-glownigger".

So basically Mario Kart World will sell around 4 mil and Switch 2 will sell around 5 mil in just Japan this year if it keeps sales up around this level
Absolute insanity.

>>715143832

>>715157689
>Gamefreak cock sucker
Game Freak is an entirely incompetent development studio that genuinely cannot handle the success they have, and they'd rather contract third parties instead of actually co-developing with Nintendo properly so Pokémon can be a good game franchise again.
They are probably one of the worst development studios to exist in Japan.

Palworld is even more pathetic though.

>>715157689
pocket pair is just as, if not even more shit than gamefreak, only difference is gamefreak has a way bigger load to bear
and they're also pretty good at certain things not pertaining to game quality

>>715157689
That's not true. Pokemon is the best franchise

>>715157689
Game Freak should be entirely removed from active development of pokemon and only be relegated to creative direction and creature design while letting a competent studio handle the series desu-ne.

>>715157821
>>715157753
Short sighted as fuck.

If Palworld could thrive without Nintendo intervention we could probably see things shaking around the piece of shit that is Gamefreak, maybe even getting rid of Gamefreak or another studio to help Pokemon development.

Pokéfags like this >>715157932

>If Palworld could thrive without Nintendo intervention we could probably see things shaking around the piece of shit that is Gamefreak, maybe even getting rid of Gamefreak or another studio to help Pokemon development.
They would just copy whatever else it is that is stealing their thunder (see: Gen 7 and the Rotomdex among other Youkai Watch "influences") and the games wouldn't improve in any significant way while still selling gangbusters on name alone
They would never hand over the IP to a more competent developer like the multiple times this could have happened but didn't
For better or worse, Pokémon and the absolute shitshow that is the IP management are here to stay

>>715158465
>Are you a child? When things are not doing well they are forced to change
They own the development rights of pokemon. GameFreak has the most important part of the largest media empire in the world. If there's no new Pokemon, there's no new toys, cards, movies, anime, Netflix shows, films, airlines, life sized plushies, themed manhole covers, etc.

>>715158327
>>715158363
The awful truth here is that nintendo ""fans"" shit on Game Freak because they can't use them to own the snoys in console war arguments because "muh grafix".
Then Beast of something happened and ""fans"" were assblasted even more. Well deserved. Game Freak is a good developer and will always be better than you.

>>715158852
Right about what? You're not even making any sense.

I mean, you can use them because pokemon is still better than everything on ps5. But the thing is that Nintendo fans don't think like that, they don't care one iota about you or sonyfags.

You're not making a strong argument

>>715159058
The Nintendo """fans""" you are talking about are Pokéfags, they are not fans, they are subhumans.

>>715158615
Gamefreak consistently release games in buggy states that would never be acceptable from any other Nintendo developer. Something like Scarlet and Violet's release or the Lumiose City save glitch would destroy any other developer's reputation.

>>715159047

That shit is going to cost $200.

Remember that Nintendo does NOT own Game Freak, meaninf it can get acquired. Imagine Nintendo losing its Pokemon making cash cow.....

>>715162740
See >>715159828

Hey, if Sony thinks they can own Pokemon by buying Game Freak then be my guest. They'll end up losing billions of dollars for a shit developer and no Pokemon.

>>715162740

>>715162202
Nah, but probably on 70-80 bux range. Then 200 bux because they only printed like 10 copies.

>>715162915
Outside of pokemon, GF has a terrible track record.
The interest from that new game is funny because it's literally idiots being drawn in by graphics and suggesting Nintendo, who is great at making unaging artstyles with weaker hardware, are the reason GF didn't make their games look good.

>>715163092

if someone buy gamefreak, nintendo and creatures would force gamefreak to sell pokemon rights to them.

>would force gamefreak to sell pokemon rights to them

>>715163728
Implying they would ever sell when they rake in so much money with an established fanbase.
If they got brought up they would die.

>>715156571
Reminds me of when they did that for rebooting Ghostbusters.

>>715164975
Nah I'm not talking about the dude who BOUGHT the secondhand, but the dude who sold his copy. Why go through all that trouble just to penny pinch?

>>715164975

>>715165024
Knowing MS that disc is 100% just a download code and nothing else.

>>715165420
I made the unfortunate mistake of watching the video and it struck a nerve when the SlopTuber noted how evil Nintendo was, despite fixing the issue. Concerning the seller, he likely bought the game to play it as is (on the Switch) and wanted to mod it on PC. So, he taught himself how to rip the game and now with a digital copy on his PC, he sold his physical, effectively paying $20-$30 for a Switch game.

It's GF game. Turner was an employee of GF

It's probably coming after Dong. I doubt Nintendo wants their announcements stealing away the spotlight from their big summer 1st party release. Dong is also the last 1st party game of the year with a release date.

>>715162740
Oh no, not Game Freak! It's so over for us, Nintenbros! Whatever shall we do without them?

>>715168721
I think the main thing is is that MK8D wasn't the Switch 1's lone tentpole. BOTW was its launch title and right on MK8D's heels was Splatoon 2. Right now Mario Kart World is doing basically all the heavy lifting for Switch 2 as far as exclusives go and barring Nintendo making some surprise announcements, a lot is riding on cross-gen titles for the rest of the year; the assumption that "Switch 1 games but with better performance" is going to convince a lot of people to upgrade.
>Pokemon but it doesn't run like shit!
Other than that it's Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong.

I don't think we'll really know what Switch 2's game baselines will look like until Japan's supply stabilizes and more Switch 2 games that don't have a Switch 1 equivalent are out.

oh noooo don't buy game freak and have another bungie to deal with sony ahahaha

>>715141735
Yes, but to be *slightly* fair to them here, it's because Sony provides their digital sales data, while Microsoft and Nintendo don't. IMO the most transparent thing to do would be to publish two separate lists, one with the Sony Digital data and one without it, but that would be too simple and fair of a solution.

lel this fucker was trying to spread the meme that Nintendo owners are crazy about getting PS5 games but he wants Pokemon so badly and will throw Palworld into the dumpster if it meant they can a crumb of Pokemon's hype for Playstation.

>>715171468
I'm getting it on the 22 because french amazon

One of her allies has double tits. Like 2 rows. Inti is genuinely too based to exist in current year, no idea how they do it.

>>715172873
Enjoy it while it lasts anon

>>715172763
That's how they've always been sold, they have never tried to obscure manga and Circana comfortably talked about Solo Leveling doing crazy. Even in >>715172378 the real story of the contemporary American market has always been the collapse of superhero comics specifically. Everything outside of that is doing great. Scholastic is doing insane numbers off its graphic novels for kids.

>>715171435
Seems anytime Sony does shit it becomes a golden meme of mockery here

Fun fact, Blaster Master Zero's Kanna was originally planned to be a quadruple tit shark chick. This game's character designer and lead artist is the same BMZ.

>>715148027
You're pretty retarded if you think Harada, a producer, is behind bad gameplay decisions.

>>715173462
Speaking of shark girls, here's another character.

And here's another boss(es) for the road.

>>715173462
im not a fan of more than two tits, but somehow its works if she also has four arms.

>>715172912
Is that the only store that has it

Man this one is an oldie (but a goodie)

>>715162740
Reminder that Game Freak only owns a portion of the pokemon ip, so sony would likely have to spend upwards of $70 billion to acquire them, and all they'd get is the ability to gum up the works and make it so NO ONE gets pokemon.

>>715173780
It's the only store that has it at 60€. I love DK but I am not ponying up 80 for a physical at Gamestop.

>>715172605
And it's literally just a choppy as fuck UE5 slopfest, likely with some unoptimized prebaked settings that only look good in screenshots, not in gameplay

Honestly, I think it's the fact that Sony and it's fans wants to be seen as the unassailable number one in videogame business so anytime they screw up, it becomes comedy gold because of how hard they go in to try to suppress that screwup.

Has Salt Romano finally given up?

>Sal 'Cuck' Romano went full Nazi and deleted all comments from the Ghost of Yotei article

What did xe mean by this?

>>715174890
What was those comments?

Why the fuck did people actually believe there would be a direct this week? It’ll obviously have to be after the DK game releases, not a week before.

>>715174930
Basically that the game looks boring and it's pretty much more of the same and the protagonist woman looks stupid

So, I don't get the whole "guy got his account banned from Nintendo" story. Anyone got a QRD? Is it just another nothingburger?

>>715174669
Most of the time it's because Sony's games these days take themselves so seriously but have wacky shit in them

>>715174849
isn't he still shitting himself and crying about inti not putting their game on the dead platform?

>>715175072
Yeah it was a nothingburger. He mod chipped the console.

>>715175061
You just know that they'd be left up in full display if they were shitting on a Nintendo game.

>>715175121
Haven't seen that, mind posting a screenshot?

>>715169770
>>715169849
>>715169914
literal cultists. Are you implying that there are that many xbox players when only 30 million xbox series consoles sold?

>>715175629
there is no such thing as a tendie.

>>715175629
>players
Definitely some sales obfuscation going on here.

>>715175629
There are over 35 million goypass users between PC and Xbox

>>715175629
sony cultist why are you trying to blatantly ignore the fact that POCKETPAIR were the ones bragging about 'player count' and using gamepass numbers because they legally cannot say copies sold

>>715150618
it's completely obvious all that moral crusading behind piracy is nothing more than poorly disguised greed
people hacking consoles or making emulators just do it for the money and popularity
people pirating just do it to steal and not spend money
none of the moral causes they claim to have is real, same as most if not all internet activism

>>715162740
This is why nintendo created a company to jointly own 66% of pokemon back then.

>>715162740
That would be a good thing unironically

>>715175629
Take your meds schizo. Pocket Pair themselves made the claim.

>>715176232
*32%

>>715177071
>I'm making up numbers

>>715177528
you are forgetting creatures and gamefreak, faggot.

>>715176051
I'm tired of seeing people crying about preservation when pirating current gen games that are readily available. These people should just admit they want free shit instead of coming up with inane copes.

>>715177582
Yes I was right. You are retarded.
Both creatures and gf are NOT owned by Nintendo.

>>715176906
>chink company

Pick one

>>715177679
>the snoy thinks sony can buy gamefreak AND creatures

right

>>715177707
They're Japanese but they aren't above lying as we can see by their "small indie company" claim

>>715177910
retarded cultist
sony can't afford game freak OR creatures
they could barely afford bungie

>>715177998
They aren't japanese. They are Chinese that bought a japanese po box so they can larp as japanese

>>715163731
I do, snoys are pretty stupid

>>715177629
The preservationists fags dropped their mask with the Switch 2.

>>715177910
Meanwhile in reality.

>>715178076
They're 100% Japanese. They just copied the Chinese way.

>>715156085
>steam actually slapped the gooks on the wrist
lmfao

>>715164798
Microsoft has, but Nutella would never spend billions on anything thats is not ai related

Snoys really can't accept that Nintendo has exclusivity over the largest media franchise in the world, it is literally impossible for Nintendo to lose control over the Pokemon IP. They own the trademark and publishing rights, just give up and accept that you will never have Pokemon.

>>715178304
Microsoft wouldn't dare spend that much to have almost zero control.
Not to mention Creatures itself is already partially owned by Nintendo, one hostile takeover later and they'll own 66% of the series

>>715178341
They really have 0 shame with one day hating on Pokemon and praising Palworld, then the next day talking about wanting to see Pokemon on PS systems.

Why is he so obsessed about Sony buying game freak? They will end up developing pokemon for Nintendo in the end... Literally nothing would change.

>>715177353
>They don't get pokemon
>try to take Nintendo to court over having a monopoly
>judge has the strangest case of deja vu
>Sony loses case again and becomes a laughing stock

>>715178474
with decades break between games to get easy cash from paypigs while they focus on their actual passion projects. That would kill tendie alone

>>715162740
I don't know what would be funnier, snoy getting bungie'd again with a side serving of MS' DK situation, or even pokefags cheering over getting rid of gamefreak.

>>715178474
the snoy schizo has to keep making up scenarios in his head for sony to "win"

>>715178574
god imagine the laughing stock sony would be for trying to sue nintendo for having a "monopoly" on their own IP

>>715178657
>Accuse others of moving the goalposts
>Proceeds to move the goalposts and make up scenarios in his head
Pathetic schizo.

>>715164734

>>715164734
Kondom bends the knee once more. Also glad to be buying physical Ys again.

The schizo monkey is making stuff up in his head again to feel better.

>>715178623
>with decades break between games to get easy cash from paypigs while they focus on their actual passion projects
That would not only kill pokemon but gamefreak in general. What you don't understand is pokemon is literally their only good product in the modern day.

>>715178182
>it went up by 2 billion since 2024
jesus sony

>>715179447
That's what happens when you're desperate to be famous for something like Disney, Nintendo and Microsoft but don't understand why they are.

>>715179407
Well of course not, he doesn't play any games at all.

>>715169770
what nerve? ayy

>>715179447
what the fuck did they spend 2 billion on? was it those shit movies? was it on Playstation?

i would love to see snoy get anti-trusted and broken up like bell, god that would make my dick so rock hard

>>715141228

>>715173721
>Mars and Venus symbols
Wait, are they a shota/loli pair? Rare

>>715180295
It would kill Playstation as well you know

>>715180072
they pissed away at least half a billion on just concord

>>715180383
*Sports games
The spinoffs have been great otherwise

>>715180072
sony pictures really flushed a billion on those spider-man movies without spider-man

>>715180295
It would be a double SONY kill you idiot.
Nintendo has other games that can cover the pokemon hole that sell more anyway
Smash
Animal crossing
Mario Kart
3d Mario
And as of Botw, 3d Zelda
They would be fine.

With pokemon dead Sony wouldn't see anything from that franchise and with GF's other series being abject shit they would have nothing but a massive, gaping hole in their funds that would put the one made by the ps3 to shame.

>>715168148
Spent all that time on GotG and showing off new skins for their Failvengers game. Could have shown off NEO TWEWY, but nope. They sent that out without even a prayer - the best advertising that it had was an instore prop with the Switch logo taped over, making it seem like a ps4 exclusive.

>>715178304
>>715178417
The Japanese banks and regulators would likely help as well, throwing so many roadblocks in Microsoft's way while Nintendo consolidated control.

>>715182076
Just UX? I thought it would be more than that.

>>715180720
What did you expect? Sony completely murdered PS brand in Japan. I'm not saying "It kind of underperformed lol" it's actually dead. Dead and buried.
Aside from a few boomers nostalgic for PS1 and PS2 and people buying it just to play Apex Legends and Honkai Star Rail on a TV, nobody in Japan knows what Playstation is anymore. All exclusives are going to fade into obscurity together with it.

>>715181567
Anime is cheap as fuck, you can make a top of the line 12 episode series with less than 10 million.
I believe you if we are talking about all the shilling and marketing.

>>715181168
its funny how much control nintendo has over that movie. they're looking for young actresses for zelda made me laugh. guess zendaya isn't getting the part

>>715182142
I don't know what's worse - the possibility that the post could have been serious, or the fact that so many of them are taking it seriously.

What's next for Retro Studios with Prime 4 shipped and Harmony cancelled?

>>715180072
dont they still have a failing phone line

>>715182536
>Aside from a few boomers nostalgic for PS1 and PS2
Those boomers are simply still using their PS1s and 2s.
Retro gaming in japan is really cheap, especially once they started to refuse to sell to westoid collectorniggers.

>>715182795
>guess zendaya isn't getting the part
What part would she even be fit for? A shopkeep?

>>715179447
How are they still in talks for buying Warner's game division?

>>715177679
Is this the new Mario on ps4?

>>715182856
Prime 4 needs to be quite a commercial and critical success, otherwise I think that Nintendo will kill it or make it a support studio

>>715182702
You really don't want to look up the talent that got hired for solo gooker lol.
Sawano alone was probably a million.

>>715182856
If the rumors are true, Prime 5. It's possible they're committed to another trilogy.

>>715183061

>>715182967

>>715183078
>Sawano alone was probably a million.
Sawano is hooker-tier, he's on everything.

>>715175948
They did say 15 million sales on Steam though, back during initial release.

>>715183568
did they ever update on that? just on the sales, and not "players".

>>715158179
>When it was trend
ESLs can't comprehend non-live service games? Interesting

>>715181398
Even if it was bad, there's also Mario Kart World.

>>715183568
no they always used the "players" metric
they also count pirated copies, but the steam count is far closer to being a real number of provable sales

>>715181398
The majority of Brothership's problems are about as or more applicable to the most lauded Mario RPGs, but they're arbitrarily given a pass for comparable issues on the basis of having been reputationally solidified as classics or cult classics for long enough that nobody questions the consensus anymore
My favorite one is BIS so I know this, outside of this specific subset of games New Vegas is another particularly notable example of a game which benefits a metric fuckload from these sorts of double standards (albeit more so in the past decade-ish as opposed to its far, far more accurate release-period reception)

>>715181398

>>715183550
>snoy keeps wasting millions on sawano
that's even worse

>>715184439
>they also count pirated copies,
I vaguely remember someone mentioning pocketpair wired the game so the steam telemetry counts pirated copies as active steam players somehow, but sadly this is within the realm of "trust me bro" as neither that post nor I have proof.

Here you go, I suppose.
And I was comparing that telemetry claim to the bg3-schizo's claims, as in calling it nonsensical.

>>715185868
>They have Japan by the fucking throat.
Wiiu showed thats is not really the case, japan market was literally handed to them by Sony and their stupid western CEOs

>>715186165
more like, if anything it ironically shows that despite all the westoid propaganda claiming otherwise, japan at large has no real brand loyalty and would even drop nintendo like a brick like they did snoy if they start betraying japan and pandering to westoids or chinks

>>715186224
That came from a month after release. The 12 mil claim was from a little over a week after release.

>>715186278
Actually it's crazy how little cultural impact have gooks had over the last 2 decades.
I have seen them shift from starcraft land, to kpopese country, to gooktoon nation, and now gachaslop shithole, and none of them stick.

>>715186278
>>715186540
>starcraft land
man, looking back at shit with contemporary knowledge really feels like waking up from mkultra mind control
in retrospect it's crazy how much gooks tried to hijack and then peddle the rise of esports as the new big thing that would change gaming forever with gooks at the forefront and establish it as a REAL job for mature adults i swear mom it's totally a job now
especially egregious when gooks are known for having some of the most grueling childhoods on earth short of starving browns on some bombed shithole due to how their school courses are basically 20 hours of torture and 4 hours of sleep

>>715186540
They tried with the gacha cope and we got some funny results
>Blue Archive gets mogged by Uma Musume which is 10x more niche being about horse racing
>Blue Archive bribes people to send Steam reviews. The campaign gets cancelled because surprise, that broke the Steam ToS
They're still insisting with the "look at how many Doujins and fan art it has!" cope because that's all they have left.

>>715186385
>would even drop nintendo like a brick like they did snoy if they start betraying japan and pandering to westoids or chinks
They would, they droped nintendo in the n64 era.

>>715186891
Heh

>>715186824
And the shitposter was saying thats the gooks are bearing the nips

>>715186891
>They're still insisting with the "look at how many Doujins and fan art it has!" cope because that's all they have left.
and that's only because the developers of uma musume explicitly forbid doujin and "fan art" shit because the owners of the real horses made that a stipulation for using the horses in the game

>>715186165
Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon still did great on Wii U. Much better than anything on PS4 sans Monster Hunter

>>715185868
Nah. Playstation's got a stacked lineup this year.

>>715187187

>>715186921
>They would, they droped nintendo in the n64 era.
Coincidentally the N64 only sold best in America and all the americans that grew up on it became the annoying nintendo youtubers we know today that hate how 'japanese' nintendo is now is or how japanese the games have become not knowing nintendo was japanese all along

>>715186891
>>715187183
>They're still insisting with the "look at how many Doujins and fan art it has!" cope because that's all they have left.
Don't forget it's also because gooks outright pay JP artists to do comfort women archive stuff.
Even after comiket pulled out their "you must legally disclose if you were sponsored by a corporate entity to draw this so we can kick you out of the event" rule to combat this, gooks just pulled a page out of the jew playbook and started giving gifts instead of raw money like consoles, computer hardware, etc.

yup feels good owning a pc

I'm confused why marvel tokon fighting soul is day one on PC
not even a timed exclusive

>>715186165
The 3DS outsold the fucking PS2 in Japan lmfao.
And for as poorly as the Wii U did, it actually had million sellers unlike a certain other console that it's still being beaten by the Switch 1.

>>715149436
Who ever came up with this scam was a genius. Fuck anti-tendies, they deserved to get their money stolen. The funniest part is they'll never go after this person because they'll blame nintendo for it

>Bloodstsined
So stupid that it ain't coming to the Switch 2. Hopefully later.

>>715187343
Let's ignore all the "also on PC and likely the switch 2" arguments I could make.
Now let's take out all the 2026 games because that doesn't count for "This year".
We got.
>Sword of the sea.
Literally a Journey clone when that game was already a meme novelty before walking simulators got old.
>GoY.
Literally asscreed shadows 2.
>Metal gear solid snake eater
A goddamn remake.
>Lumines arise.
A literal xbox live arcade tier minigame.
>Digimon cybersluts 2.
ONE GAME* Also on the switch 2 and everything else
>MK legacy collection.
A fucking port.
>Thief VR legacy of shadow.
Another VRslop shovelware title.
>FFT.
A literal fucking demake.

The more snoys try to shill their library the more it hurts to think I was once a snoy devoted to them thanks to the PS2 and 3.
Once upon a time snoy was actually sony and made good games, and I doubt those times will ever come back.

iga doesn't hate the switch like all the other westaboos on japan, so it's likely it's just nintendo's autism for not allowing switch releases outside directs

Just got the Nightreign achievement in well, Nightreign. It's the "platinum". My final thoughts? Man I'm excited for Duskbloods.

Fun fact.
Technically the vita also has a million seller thanks to minecraft.

The PiS5 is legitimately doing worse than the console they outright sabotaged and killed in cold blood.

>>715187759
all things considered you forgot to mention they also had the goycube on their teen years, which is the ground zero for some of the most obnoxious smashniggers on the planet

Melee isn't even that good.

>>715187343

>most of them are for 2026
>some switch games too

>>715187343
>0 exclusives
>1 (uno) VR games

>>715188398
It also sold the most on switch despite it being unplayable most of the time so I have faith that it will be on the switch

>>715188932
>look shit up on that site because it looks fairly useful
>Genkai Totsuki Moero Chronicle
>Compile Heart
>51,812 sales, with 35,655 on their first week
>now go look up another one
>Scar-Lead Salvation
>1,466 sales, which was also it's debut week
goddamn how far has CH fallen
i can't believ-
HOLD THE FUCK ON

THE FUCKING NIGGERS DID SHADOWDROP THE NEPTUNIA TRILOGY ON THE SWITCH ALREADY, LAST FUCKING YEAR
AND IT'S DIGITAL ONLY BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE IT ON THE ESHOP
THESE FUCKING MONGRELS WERE FEARMONGERING ABOUT A GAME THAT WAS ALREADY FUCKING RELEASED JUST SO THEY COULD SHILL GOY LEAD SALVATION ON THE PIS5
AND THEN THEY HAVE THE FUCKING GALL TO RE-RELEASE IT AGAIN INDIVIDUALLY FOR 60 BUCKS EACH GAME
FOR GAMES THAT WERE ALREADY FUCKING OUT ON THE SWITCH, MAKING THEM A RE-RE-RELEASE, ON THE EXACT SAME FUCKING CONSOLE
THREE GODDAMN RERLEASES OF THE SAME FUCKING GAME WITHIN 2 YEARS

ARE YOU ACTUALLY FUCKING SERIOUS

I WANT THEM TO GO FUCKING BANKRUPT ASAP

>instead of actually co-developing with Nintendo properly
Hey look it's someone who wants reality to work like his imagination. Nintendo doesn't want to spend their own resources on a franchise that already prints money for them with no input. Nintendo doesn't even develop all of its first party franchises internally. And the ones they do need their own time and effort, or do you want Splatoon 4 delayed for another two years so you can have EPD make a shitty BW remake?

>>715189826
okay now that my blind fucking rage subsided a little i can see i think the pages for the individual games are the ones they are releasing now after SLS flopped
that said it's still two goddamn rereleases within the same console, and they still fearmongered neps getting banned by nintendo japan despite the games being out already, which is still fucking absurd and i still want their company to go under
i do find it funny the 3 pack for all 3 games was 10800 yen, or about 70 dollars tho, that means they originally sold them for 23 bucks per game, but now they are charging full price for each
also according to the famitsu numbers they didn't even sell all the stock of the 3 pack, there was 60-80% stock leftover which yeah fucking deserved

i hate to be that nigger, but please make another thread, i fucking need to talk about this CH faggotry
