That's very low even for a re-release, for comparison, Dragon Ball Z Kakarot on Nintendo Switch sold 42k copies in its first week and Persona 5 Royal on Nintendo Switch sold 46k compared to 5k on the PlayStation 5.
I think it's time for publishers to heavily consider digital only releases on Sony's platforms. It's unfortunate, but the games simply do not sell on PS4/PS5, what do you think, Ganker? Do you agree?
I think some are already doing this. MHR is digital only for example
I think bamco needs to get its bloody head checked.
Stop doing emergency ports on the Switch and just put it there day frickine one.
If OP:O was on Switch at release it'd have ht at least 40k if not 50k.
But they learned frick all from Demon Slayer, or Dark Souls1, or Digimon Cyber Sleighs, etc.
Getting real fricking tired of developers FOR NO REASON discarding the Switch when they casted the N64, Gamecube and WiiU to the void for FAR FAR less.
WHERE'S MY FRICKING CODE VEIN BAMCO! YOU prostituteS!
Bamco fell for the same globohomosexual meme that Capcom fell, they use Switch as a back up platform, I don't expect anything from them and neither should you.
It's more that Bamco thought the Ps4 was Sony on the mend without realizing the one elephant in the room when it comes to Playstation:
It only does well when the competition around it goes full moron. The PS1, 2 and 4 only won their gens by merit of every company around them making a massive blunder. Such is why the PS3 and 5 are near dead in the water now that their competitors are making competent decisions.
I still find it interesting how picture related was enough for almost the entire Japanese industry to abandon Nintendo. But now they're so deep into Sony that Nintendo performing ten times better relatively isn't enough for them to make the same jump they did before.
Publishers still Mindbroken about yamauchi even if he was right in the long run, hell his whole spiel about the need of reinvigorate the Japanese market was right since people seem to forget that the PS4 days were some of the worst years on japanese market.

Explain to me why Final Fantasy XVI is exclusive to PS5 and not also releasing on Switch?
Got paid out by Sony. If it wasn't for that, FF7R would probably have a cloud version on Switch.
Probably paid exclusivity.
Square swore fealty to Sony
FF16 will sell extremely well, frick you tendie XD
It would do 400k at best
Lifetime maybe.
Nah, even if XV soured a lot of people Final Fantasy as a brand still has some clout. Not to Dragon Quest levels anymore but still.
Codename drop this year, full release by summer/fall of '24.
This image legitimately only gets worse for ff16 every day that passes and it doesn't chart
As i said some weeks ago, FF16 is not the style of jrpg that japan likes
They prefer a lot more how games like DQ and FF7R look
The game will do bad in japan, but probably ok worldwide
XV saved FF moron
FF8 sold less than ff7 so by your logic ff7 soured people
Why even make ff16? ff14 probably brings in 90% of their revenue
If you only read articles by kotaku and ign, yes
Do you have a counter point, or are you just giving your professional conjecture?
Yes, if you see any quarter report from square, they rarely have a deficit or bomb actual big games from their japanese studios
The only teams having bombs were either their western studios, that were sold with the entire branch
Or shovelware that isnt even made by them like Babylons fall. And babylons fall didnt cost shit to make, just like balan
Unironically the only game that probably costed a lot to make and will actually bomb in their last 10 years is forspoken
But octopath will save the quarter anyway
FF16 will unironically be the lowest selling FF in history
If I pull her zippers down will she die?
And because Square aremorons thinking FF has to have le eic shiny griffix to sell.
Also sony money hatting, per usual.
>30. [NSW] Together! The Battle Cats – 1,640 / 189,702
what the hell is this? If you want to succeed in Japan you gotta release your game on the Switch. Even smaller IPs are finding success
Yes but I wouldn't call the Battle Cats a "small" IP. Maybe a little neutered for being a mobile port, but certainly not small.
Some weird-ass japanes tower defense game, originally it came out on Mobile then it also came out on PC, 3DS and Switch, the Switch port came out in 2018, the physical release is more recent though.
The Switch port is published by Bamco by the way.
that nintendo + bamco partnership going strong
Bamco just published it though, they don't own the IP and probably had nothing to do with the port.
>11. [NSW] Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban! – 6,570 / 2,824,273
Choo choo motherfrickers!
what is with this game lol
did Konami even expect this much success?
No, Konami publicly gave up on the series so Nintendo licensed it out for a 3DS game to show them how to make it successful lmao
It's an old beloved Hudson Soft series that more or less kickstarted board games on consoles that Konami was being dumb about, the game was expected to sell very well before it launched.
They sold decently before so I'm sure the conversation that happened between Nintendo and Konami to make the thing happened under the assumption that they would make something of a profit.
But selling this much? I feel like that's just another wacky phenomenon in the wake of the Switch.
>did Konami even expect this much success?
I'm going to answer you with another question: Is Silent Hill launching on Switch?
isn't Sony helping with the development of the remake? that would exclude the other consoles
why don't snoys buy 3rd party games?

>Q: You said that you will start porting to the Switch because the sales of the product division are declining and Sony PlayStation is not performing well. Why are you starting with the slightly old “The Legend of Nayuta”? Why not a billboard title of the Ys or Trails series? How many sales do you expect?
>Kondo: The first choice was “The Legend of Nayuta” as a balance with the licensing department. The latest work (Kuro no Kiseki II) has a license contract. After that, we decided to move into full-scale entries on the Switch. The first thing that could be moved was “The Legend of Nayuta.”
>Kondo: We don’t intend to end Switch porting with “The Legend of Nayuta,” and we’re starting to prepare for subsequent titles. Regarding the target number of units sold, there are business challenges reporting specific numbers, so I would like to refrain from doing so here.
>Kondo: “Despite the quality being there, I think the cause [of poor sales for Kuro] is, the dull PlayStation market”
RIGHT FRICKING NOW.
>Q: What is the sales ratio between the packaged version and the DL version on the PlayStation these days? Are all packaged versions and downloads included in product sales?
>Kondo: It's a rough estimate, but the DL ratio is less than 20%, and our company has more packaged versions. DL version and DLC are included in the sales of the license division

>Sony still making higher profits
Why do morons here talk about things they don't understand as if they do?
Didn't profits fall by 49%?
Because they bough Bungie. Their earning marks were higher than last year
Yes.
https://www.theshortcut.com/p/ps5-sales-reach-21-million
https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/ps5-hits-25-million-but-sony-gaming-profits-fall-49-due-to-rising-costs/
didn't their profits drop nearly 50%?
During fiscal year 2022 (note, this is from april 2021 to march 2022), Playstation made nearly
$25 million in revenue, but under $2.5 million in profit. Meanwhile, nintendo made around $15 million in revenue, yet over $5 million in profit.
Sony would have actually been $5.5 million in the red if not for the 30% cut they take from 3rd party microtransactions from cod, fifa, genshin, gta, etc.
Sony invested a large portion of their 2022 profit into the Bungie acquisition. You are not as smart as you think you are.
>profits from april 2021 through march 2022 were lower because of a deal that happened in july 2022
>acquisitions happen overnight and not over the course of months
Whats it like? Being moronic?
>companies pay for acquisitions while they're still negotiating
happen overnight
Correct
>we didn't profit from bungie either
Heh I guess you're right. Profits are down AND the bungie purchase was a flop
God how do morons here think they know any fricking thing about how a business works is beyond me. Sony overall earnings are UP. They fell in 2019-2020 but 2021 and 2022 saw growth. Acquisitions NEVER see immediate profit, Microsoft still hasnt made a profit from Minecraft and it will be uears before they see any sort of profit from Zenimax as well. You are stupid and know nothing, stop talking as if you do
So why is PS5 tracking less than Switch and PS4?
Supply. Next questioj
It's not, tendie
Yes it is, snoy.
>seething so much he can't type
>a typo! He must be seething!
Uh huh. Also didn't address the point
There are no supply issues
Evidence please
I dismissed your sourceless claims with my own sourceless claims
>claim that profits are currently down 49% because of the bungie purchase
>but they were also low last year because of the bungie purchase
Their earnings were up from the previous year and the bungie acquisitionbwas months in the making. Those deals don't happen over night crayon eater
>Sony would have actually been $5.5 million in the red if not for the 30% cut they take from 3rd party microtransactions from cod, fifa, genshin, gta, et

Yes, revenue is up. Not as high as they like because of thibgs like inflation and spending 3 billion an acquisition, but yes, up. Cope. Seethe. Dilate
Anon, first, that's sony as a whole, not playstation. Second, acquisitions have zero effect on REVENUE. Third, this is REVENUE, and not PROFIT.
PlayStation is what’s currently driving Sony as a whole. Their movie and tv divisions are making game media, their electronics division is making gaming monitors and other accessories, it’s the largest most influential part of the company
SIE is quite literally the largest earner in Sonybas a whole moron. Sony Pictures didn't have shit after Spiderman and Sony Music's profit wasn't explosive either
>revenue
Every time without fail. How are you so fricking predictable.
I want you to tell me how Sony Pictures and/or Sony Music made the majority of Sony's money. Sony Pictures who's box office offerings outside of Spiderman have either flopped or underperformed. Sony Music who actually spent millions on acquiring the rights to several catalogs last year. The tech divisions that have been losing money for years, yep, not SIE at all
>I want you to tell me how Sony Pictures and/or Sony Music made the majority of Sony's money
Not my job to do this
Neutral observer here. Do you all suppose that the split audience of PS4 and PS5 is hurting the optics of PS on these charts? Not saying that there’s be more PS games than Nintendo, but One Piece Odyssey is the best selling game of the week when added together. There’s gotta be at least 2-4 games that would appear on the chart if they were grouped in the same SKU.
>but One Piece Odyssey is the best selling game of the week when added together
anon...
Missed reading comprehension class. I thought it was 30,000 for each SKU. That’s just sad.
>Missed reading comprehension class. I thought it was 30,000 for each SKU. That’s just sad.
For context the late kimetsu switch port did 90k when it released and it holded on top 10 for a gmfew months.
I don't think for christ sake pirate warriors 4 did better last month on switch with 61.5k, place your bets people how long till we get the emergency Switch port like kimetsu and kakarot.

I've been telling you morons this for a year now.
Looks like we won't be getting the Switch successor till 2024
Note that Nikkei is speculating, they're trying to pass guesswork as quotes.
Probably an exclusivity deal, it's coming to at least PC later on.
I think nobody with a braincell was expecting Switch being discontinued this year, I do however, see an annoucement on Q3.
Literally until the moment a tears of the kingdom oled got leaked, EVERYONE was saying that nintendo was launching a new console with it, and was hiding it until after the holidays to not kneecap switch's holiday 2022 sales. Then again, you did say nobody with a braincell, so that disqualifies most of them.
well maybe it was going to be a Pro, but an actual Switch 2 was never going to be released on such short notice
if the rumors are true it was going to be a Pro version that got upgraded to "next gen"
the existence of a Pro entirely depends on how soon a Switch 2 is planned to come out, because such a medium upgrade is supposed to last at least two years, but would Switch 2 really be pushed back to 2025+ ?
I think that you misunderstood, according to rumors it was a Pro and it was supposesd to push back Switch 2 a couple of years down the roald like you said, but somewhere between lines the hypothetical Pro just got revamped and became the rumored Switch 2, again nobody should expect it this year but I DO see it being revealed on this fiscal year (as in march 2023-march 2024 fiscal year)
>EVERYONE was saying that nintendo was launching a new console with it
I wasn't. MK8D's course pass and Splatoon 3's guaranteed minimal support aren't even done until the end of the year. And we don't even know what they have planned for Scarlet and Violet but we know it's something.
And these are all three true heavy hitters of the industry as well as in the lead on the Switch platform. No way they would ever cut this short by releasing a new system in 2023.
The Switch is probably in its final era, but 2023 will not be the year of its successor. Who knows if that will be 2024 or 2025 or whatever. But it's not now.
Nintendo's more than likely waiting for China's manufacturing sector to bounce back before committing to a new console. Or getting their operations in Thailand IIRC up and running first.
Doesn't Nintendo also source from Vietnam?
No shit
2 more weeks. Shitch is finished and Nintendo will go third party.
More like 2 more weeks and an additional schizo will be in these threads.
what happens is 2 weeks?
A certain Square game will have released on PS5 and have sales numbers meaning we'll be getting an extra sperg ITT until it fricks off from the charts.
nah barry will stick around until ff16 launches and destroys flopspokens sales numbers
Speaking of, COMG comparisons for forspoken and strangers of paradise, 6 days from launch:
>Forspoken: 13 pts
>Strangers of Paradise: 29 points
Inb4 the cope from earlier about how it's gonna magically sell 50k copies at launch when strangers of paradise couldn't do that.
someone is going to lose their job over greenlighting this flop
So that's why yoship Pulled a harada a is begging people to buy a PS5.
I was making a joke. Holy shit that game is going to bomb so hard.
Forspoken
that game is going to flop so hard eric will get a nosebleed from all the spinning he's going to do
It'll do fine, for a PS5 game in Japan...
The OLED model has had supply issues, specially in Japan.
He's just gonna claim that it has 99% digital sales or that nintendo bribed famitsu to pretend it sold less than it actually did. Barry's the one that's gonna spin it, comparing it to when intergrade launched on ps5 and how it's actually good that a megabudget AAA game only sold 30k and that it's selling much better in the west and how he's found a new girl he wants to rape.
eric and barry crossover in the same thread soon.
full blown meltdown should be fun to watch.
Based. Tick tock, tendies!
This is just the rehash of mario 3d world on ps4 image from last gen
>Meanwhile in the real world
This still feels weird, i know that mlb forced sony to do this but still weird.
Sure thing eric.
Just now realized that 1989 message is exactly 100 years after Nintendo's founding, that just cracks me up.
Yeah people seem to forget just how old nintendo actually is, for context when Nintendo was funded the eiffel tower just started getting build and the jack the ripper killing's were happening in london.
Man, that feels weird to think about Jack being around at the same time as Nintendo's creation.
Yeah this company is fricking old.
Which is why i always laugh at homosexuals that said they are doomed, they are fricking older than the fricking aztec empire.

It's probably ye olde bait, but I can see where he's coming from with Nintendo being more conservative than their competition at the time.
Tendies wonder why they're called right wing garbage, and then post shit like this
ERIC we know you are seething about not been a woman you don't have to shout it outloud
Thats not garbage however, trannies are subhuman and deserve to die, such as yourself
Sony isn't crying over japan, only weebs think they still matter. Largest market is NA
And what console sold best there?
never you mind
Truly the successor to IT PRINTS MONEY
>5 fricking years
basically 3/4 of a console cycle, is absolutely madness.
This thing is at very least surpassing the DS, i don't know if it can surpass the PS2 but at this point i'm willing to consider it now, gotta tip my hat to nintendo for turning around the Wii U failure, especially since every forum and journos was already screaming how doomed the Switch was.
https://www.neogaf.com/threads/betting-time-do-you-think-the-switch-will-be-a-success.1333545/
Actually in Japan it surpassed the PS2, it's difficult it'll surpass the DS though.
It keeps up the clip it can easily pass up the DS in Japan by next year.
>i don't know if it can surpass the PS2 but at this point i'm willing to consider it now
that's what?
152mil global?
switch is 115-118mil global?
Very easy if it hits 20mil this year.
puts the switch at 135mil, then dock 50-80 bucks off as the switch2 rolls out and lt it sweep up 7-8mil a year for two years.
bosh bash bish.
Done.
>Very easy if it hits 20mil this year.
It wont
It will still be the best selling console of all time however
>switch is going to see higher production this year
>fire emblem
>TotK
>pikmin
>MP4 most likely
>plus more
>not hitting 20mil at minimum
see you in december anon.
They will do great numbers no doubt but those games are not system sellers aside from Zelda, specially since Switch already has FE and Pikmin entries
Also MP4 isnt coming this year lol, next maybe
It's actually about 6, and it's at the average full life span of a console baring the extended lifecycles of the 7th and 8th gens.
Console sales? Sony makes most of their money in NA which why they're the market leader in profit
>market leader
kek
Nintendo doesn't make more money than Sony
Show where playstation makes more PROFIT than nintendo.
>literally a highly public court case where Sony is documented as the market leader in gaming profit
>SHOW ME PROOOOOOOOOF
Either moronic or ignorant
didn't they refuse to acknowledge nintendo in that though?
i wonder why
No moron, this is a court case, you can't omit facts for shits abd giggles
>had to put nintendo in it's own corner because they knew that it would destroy thier case.
kek
>you can't omit facts for shits abd giggles
oh yeah?
>FTC using seething Ganker logic when they don't get their way
Their statement is true no matter how butthurt it makes you. The Switch is competing in a different market than the Playstation and Xbox and literally even the CEOs of both gaming divisions see it that way. Sorry no one thinks about Nintendo in the same reverance you do
kek you seething fat b***h? Switch is stomping the competition, so you went and created a whole new console market for it
>you seething
Thats you actually. The fact that no one cares about Nintendo is making you see red
>best selling console for 5 years in a row
>"NO ONE CARES ABOUT NINTENDO!"
Yeah, you're seething like a good little b***h LOL
>Two CEOs from billion dollar companies dont even see Nintendo as competition and it's literally their job to know whobtheir competitors are
>You're just mad at Nintendo's success
Absolutely hilarious how defensive tendies get over Nintendo is percieved. Almost as if they want to justify their adulation to themselves
>CEOs from losing companies cope with losing
Yeah
>moron on Ganker thinks he knows business
Always and without fail. Sony makes more money than Nintendo by the way but feel free to bring up hardware sales if it'll make you feel better
>moron on Ganker thinks he knows business
But enough about you
>no u
So no argument? I accept your concession
nah that's you
>Sony makes more money than Nintendo by the way
Microsoft makes more than both combined.
You lose any way you spin it
Microsoft hasn't made a dime on xbox since they entered the market and persist only because they leech off other divisions. SIE on the other hand is Sony's bread and butter
Cope
>HAH SONY MAKES MORE MONEY THAN NINTENDO
>xbox makes more than sony
>W-WELL SONY’S GAMING DIVISION MAKES MORE THAN MICROSOFT’S DIVISION
>and nintendo’s division makes more than sony’s
Now repeat till infinity and we have the average snoy’s arguments
Lmao good point. Sony loses any way you spin it. It's fricking hilarious. Have a rare gif
>The Switch is competing in a different market than the Playstation and Xbox
Yes, because Sony and Microsoft left for the subscription and microtransaction market while Nintendo is in the same hardware and software market they have always been in.
Nintendo has been heavily trying to get into the subscription and service based market for a while now tendie. Cope. Even Nintendo knows where the future lies
>Nintendo has been heavily trying to get into the subscription and service based market for a while now
So they ARE in the same market? Lol you're so fricking bad at this.
You're the moron who made the distinction, not me. Also "trying" is not the same as "succeeding". The person upset with Nintendo not being acknowledged by Sony or Microsoft as competition is you're the one fishingnfor excuses. I'm merely correcting you
>You're the moron who made the distinction
No not really. I literally said Nintendo and Microsoft/Sony were in different markets and you disagreed with me. You're so fricking bad at this lol
>I was only pretending to be moronic.
You insisted Nintendo was a competitor and projected and coped. Then when you were told why you pulled this excuse
When told that your excuse was wrong you decided to simply be moronic and go
>well they do compete then
That doesn't work moron. Now cope
>>well they do compete then
No that's what you did with your post here
Now cope homosexual
NTA but you're flip flopping between whether or not Nintendo belongs into the same market as Sony and MS. Either you think that Sony and MS left the hardware and software market or you think that Nintendo IS in the subscription market as both of them.
It's not the same thing and only a moron would think so. I merely told the fricking idiot who tried to excuse his precious Nintendo neing demeaned as necause they make games when the reality is that they're tryingnto emulate Sony and Microsoft's approach right now. That doesn't disprove the fact that Sony and Microsoft don't see them as competition
how do you explain sony making two times more money with microtransactions+subscriptions than games+consoles? what market is that?
Fortnite
On switch
>they're tryingnto emulate Sony and Microsoft's approach right now
where is nintendo's announcement of 12 serviceslop games
Didn't Ubisoft try something like that, and fail?
Dragalia Lost, which just shut down. Try harder Tendie
where are the other 11?
>mobiles games that arent even on the switch
Vs
>live service games on the ps5 console
Sony also did mobile games with micro transactions before nintendo ever did btw
https://www.ign.com/articles/uncharted-mobile-spin-off-closes-down
>moving the goal posts
You brought up gaas, you didn't say console only and Sony publishes Fate Grand Order so they already have a successful mobile title
>miss the goal post
>claim it moved
You know exactly what he meant when he said that, mobile gaming is not what people talk about when they are talking nintendo and playstation, being disingenuous isn’t going to make you right, Black person
The headline you posted only said Sony you shit eating homosexual, it didnt say playstation. Be a disengenious homosexual if you want but acknowledge that you're wrong at the very fricking least. Dont claim nintendo isn't doing something they factually did it. Cope on another homosexual's time but not mines
DL isn't on the Switch.
anon where is nintendo's announcement of focusing on making 12 more service games?
>still denying dragalia lost exists
where is the announcement niggy? where is nintendo making more of those games?
>where is the evidence of this exact scenario or you're wrong
You gays are really bad at this.
well anon one can claim that they are trying to do the same but to prove it is a different thing altogether. as for now your only proof is a discontinued game where sony is doubling down on this certain aspect you claim nintendo is also doing now
A discontinued game is showcasing their failure. That doesnt mitigate the fact thay theyre making the attempt and trying to brush it off as outlier when they're emulating other models reeks of cope.
>when they're emulating other models
see
>well anon one can claim that they are trying to do the same but to prove it is a different thing altogether
once again what other models? how is them stop developing for service mobile games once they failed the same as sony going out of their way to say they're developing 12 servoice games
Dragalia lost isnt Nintendo's only mobile game for one and you're still ignoring the fact that Nintendo online is a service model they're expanding steadily
>Dragalia lost isnt Nintendo's only mobile game
never said it was. the whole point is that they're not developing another of those
>that Nintendo online is a service model they're expanding steadily
and?
>Sony and Microsoft don't see them as competition
Because they left Nintendo's market.
More like Nintendo left theirs and now is trying to play catch up
Nope! Still operating on selling hardware and software. That's their game and they stuck to it. Sorry your brand left!
>the tendie now lives in a universe where Nintendo Onlinebdoesnt exist
8% of nintendo's revenue comes from nintendo online and all dlc combined
34% of playstation's income comes from microtransactions ALONE, with another 14% from psn, and this is before they rolled out psn+
Thank you for proving my point that Nintendo is trying to follow suit. Good day
just compare pic related and
and you'll see the difference
Nintendo left the traditional market with the Wii.
Then got back into it with the switch when Microsoft and Sony left for subs and MTX
The switch is a habdheld that you can play on a tv, hardly a traditional console
>s-switch is a handheld
Cope troon, even nintendo themselves doesn’t call it a handheld in investor reports, lying about it not being a handheld is grounds for a lawsuit just waiting to happen from a greedy israelite
But they didn't.
At all.
They still had lots of games released.
>hurf waggle
Okay?
They were still games focused on gameplay.
Even shit like No More Heros, Mad World, Red Steel, Metroid Prime3, etc were targeted at the 'core' 'mature' gamer audience.
Why lie after all this time?
Honestly this is a fair statement. The Switch is competing in the old market where they sell video games.
While Playstation and Xbox are now in market of just selling movies and controllers.
>literally a highly public court case where Sony is documented as the market leader in gaming profit
where?
>Sony makes more money than Nintendo by the way
where?
>$24.87 billion
>$15.3 billion
Which is higher?
>revenue
>revenue
Both irrelevant statistics on their own
look at the income
based moron. also see
they did even worse in 2022
Anon, please stop, you are embarassing yourself and it's hard to watch. You talk about "making more money" and then you focus on revenue instead of operating income?
If sell for 100$ something that you spent 80$ to produce, how much money did you make?
And if i sell for 50$ something that i spent 10$ to produce, which one of us made more money in the end?
>50% more revenue than nintendo
>50% less operating income than nintendo

DELETE THS
This is why sony is so desperate to stop the actiblizz purchase by the way
What surprise! Sony wants to stop a competitor from consolidating at their expense. Something any sane company would do. Did you think you think you were solving a major puzzle moron? You weren't
moron, I'm talking about the fact that their largest segment of revenue comes from taking 30% of every lootbox purchased on psn
No shit moron, you're not dropping a hidden truth, you're stating the fricking obvious.
NTA but Sony isn't trying to stop MS from consolidating anything otherwise they would've stopped them from the Bethesda buyout. It's all about that sweet mtx money.
It is clearly both of these scenarios
No it's not. Again, they would've stopped the Bethesda purchase. Bethesda might not be as expensive as Activision, but Bethesda's influence is just as big, if just a slightly bit smaller than Activision's.
As shit as bethesda is, they don't bring in the majority of their money from microtransactions. Sony gets pennies when a 3rd party playstation game is sold at retail, and 30% when it's sold digitally. The real money is in lootboxes.
Sure but I'm not talking about how much cash Bethesda brings, but their influence on the gaming industry. If Sony was really about all this moral high ground bullshit, then they would've stopped MS from buying Bethesda.
The first part of your statement is wrong even as conjecture, surely Sony already knew that MS wanted to buy Nintendo before they went public.
I don't believe you anon, mostly because the Switch isn't powerful enough to handle GAAS.
Which means that Sony isn't trying to stop consolidation, but stop the mtx money from leaving their accounts.
>Comparing bethesda with them is insane
I'm talking about influence, not cash. Nintendo costs the same as a reduced Activision fresh from the scandals, around $60 billion, do you mean to say Nintendo and Activision's influence in the industry is the same? Hell no.
>I'm talking about influence, not cash. Nintendo costs the same as a reduced Activision fresh from the scandals, around $60 billion, do you mean to say Nintendo and Activision's influence in the industry is the same? Hell no.
But influence doesnt matter if they only release one big game per decade. And the last one truly big was skyrim more than 10 years ago
Comparing them to activision that has cod bringing billions to ps every year is insane
Im sure that sony and every company would value cod a lot more than any jank game that todd howard will release
>But influence doesnt matter
It does if you're only talking consolidation, which was the original claim I replied to. Sony isn't doing this to stop consolidation, they're doing this to stop MS from taking their cash cow away.
But sony couldnt also stop bethesda's acquisition at first because it was the first(lol)
Now that phil is trying to buy the whole western industry and the biggest independent publisher sony actually can try to do something about it because everyone noticed what is going on right now and activision is on another level when we see their business size
Seems like the guys blocking this deal dont want Xbox becoming the Disney of vidya
Microsoft also does that every time they can
So they probably believed they could do it again with their infinite money because if Disney could do it recently...
No, Sony could've. After all, it meant that future Bethesda games couldn't be on future Playstation consoles anymore. That's why people stop consolidation. But Sony didn't act until Activision lol.
>Now that phil is trying to buy the whole western industry
With what workers? They just laid off 10k people. You're pushing a point that doesn't exist.
Bethesda games have never been the big money makers for playstation so I dont know why you keep persisting on this moronic train of thought
Because if Sony was the good boy you claim they were, they would've stopped Bethesda REGARDLESS of how much money they made. We all know that Sony is stopping Activision because they'll lose the mtx money, that's not consolidation. If MS promised that all the mtx money will still go to Playstation in perpetuity, Jim Ryan will give Bill Gates and Uncle Phil double handed blowjobs.
Bethesda is not comparable to Activision for one you fricking idiot. Activision is is one of the largest game publishers on earth and while Bethesda are no slouch they're not in the ballpark of what Activision has and does. You are not making a point outside of showing how fricking delusional you are to defend microsoft buying activision
I tried to argue with this guy but he really believes on that, there i no way
He also thinks that sony could've stopped the acquisition of fricking bethesda, when not even Activision's cant be stopped
They could not, at first people would just say the are whining and it would happen anyway
Only when the activision thing started it got big enough for them to actually complain about it
>With what workers? They just laid off 10k people.
But this is because xbox is incompetent
They are the worse publisher of this industry
They fricked halo,gears,perfect dark is in dev hell,fable had development restarted, scalebound cancelled, crackdown was a shitshow, state of decay is in limbo
Outside of forza and flight simulator they cant release a single game of their studios that isnt broken or is straight up cancelled
This is why they arent even making teams anymore, but buying whole companies to have games. Now they dont need to do their job
They could. Sony stood to lose Bethesda games.
>This is why they arent even making teams anymore, but buying whole companies to have games. Now they dont need to do their job
Sony and MS are in the same basket lol. Don't kid yourself, the only 2 IP that are worthwhile in Sony's 1st party roster are GoW and TLOU, one of which isn't even from them. 2 games vs 0 doesn't impress much confidence.
Regardless of you enjoying or not sony games,sony has a great quality control , they dont cancel projects or release empty broken shit
Microsoft is terrible at that, the way Halo released is embarrassing
>or release empty broken shit
did you even play horizon?
I dont like horizon at all but one gif of a bug in a open world game wont make me think the game is shit as a product
The biggest problems of horizon is its characters and nothing of a story
But the game is really impressive from a technical standpoint
That team is being wasted with those writers
NICE FRICKING AI.
The worse part of microsoft is how we are hearing how their AAA games are coming since 2014
Then all of them bombed or were cancelled. The ps5 doesnt have games on these first 2 years, but overall xbox is fumbling for more than a decade
They laid off people with overlap with shit microsoft already does
>Yes, if you see any quarter report from square, they rarely have a deficit or bomb actual big games from their japanese studios
>The only teams having bombs were either their western studios, that were sold with the entire branch
>Or shovelware that isnt even made by them like Babylons fall. And babylons fall didnt cost shit to make, just like balan
>Unironically the only game that probably costed a lot to make and will actually bomb in their last 10 years is forspoken
>But octopath will save the quarter anyway
Bethesda has a big number of ips but the whole company doesnt even reaches the numbers that just cod brings every year
Not even considering how phil is also trying to get King and other parts of Activision Blizzard
Comparing bethesda with them is insane
greentexted the wrong thing,ignore that
Bethesda hasn't released anything since Fallout 76 which was a flop. Call of Duty releases every year without fail and literally generates billions. They're not even in the same league
Bethesda is kinda incredible, you would expect them to become a megacorp after skyrim, but they just ported the game for every toaster and kept making jank games for the next 15 years. But now they are also taking a decade to develop
Do they even have most of the dev team that worked on Skyrim still at the company?
The only one convinced of this is you. The numbers literally point in a different direction. Bethesda releases absolutely nothing that drives the ecosystem of playstation
Did you reply to the right person? what are you even talking about?
Probably not
That's because Skyrim was overrated.
I also dont like skyrim, but i imagined they would do like Ubisoft and assassins creed
They didnt even bother to change their engine
It's fine but it isn't the best TES by any means, even if they weren't sitting on their asses a new TES would've still taken a few years.
I know, it is just funny to me how bethesda is the biggest example of "money going into the asses of the suits"
Because they changed nothing after skyrim, you can actually say they got worse
No one stopped Bethesda because no one knew how far Microsoft go afterwards plus Bethesda games aren't the linchpin of Sony's profits despite the popularity of Elder Scrolls
>operating incone
I bet you think you're smart for posting this but operating income is the money a company CHOOSES to earmark for use moron.
Idiot. Operating income is just revenue minus expenses. Stop posting moron.
That tweet is misleading. What Daniel Snoymad isn't mentioning is that the lion's share of Sony's profits doesn't come from hardware or software, but subscription fees and microtransactions.
On the whole? Of course not, Sony's a conglomerate.
Gaming wise? Nintendo is fricking stomping and the lion's share of what money SIE brings in is literally skimming off the top of FORTNITE SKINS.
If we're comparing the entire company, then Microsoft curb stomps both.
Xbox literally makes no money so not really. This is gaming profit moron.
Yeah, and nintendo makes more gaming profit, moron
Nintendo isn't even in the top three in gaming profit
Depends on what the market parameters are. If you include mobile apps then of course nobody is close. The mobile gaming market is larger than traditional videogames
Yeah but microsoft ends up being the most pathetic because even while wasting their infinite money they cant do shit
If xbox was not from microsoft they would've been out of this industry at least 3-4 times now
>market leader in profit
that's not a metric. also you're absolutely wrong, you're thinking of revenue
>Sony isn't crying over japan, only weebs think they still matter. Largest market is NA
Pssst
Pstttt
Anon
Here's a secret
Switch is raping NA and Europe too.
Keep it between us alright?
sad eric. sad.
2 weeks at best, 4 weeks at worse.
I shit a gold brick.
Stick around, it'll be wild.
>everyone
no just doom posting morons were.
It was very clear this was not going to happen.
but schizo copes are the best part of sales threads.
Lol, acquisitions are handled in the budget of big sony, not playstation/SIE. What kind of cope is this?
How long till emergency port like kimetsu.
2 months til announcement. It’s ready by november? I don’t know how long it takes to port.
Smash bros bros... we got Mario Karted...
>Game with Waluigi playable more successful than game without Waluigi playable
Hmm
Switch sales down 40% from last year over the last two weeks
Yet Nintendo plans to "increase production" this year. How do you think they plan to sell more switches with declining demand? A price drop?
The switch still hasn't had a single price drop in it's lifetime. So yeah, it could work. Also there's a new Zelda.
The Pokemon OLED boosted sales for like a month but they've tanked back down again so I don't think Zelda does much. They're really gonna need to pull a rabbit out of their hat to pull this off, and a price drop is all I can think of.
>declining demand
You mean declining supply
>Switch sales down 40% from last year
Stock issues. Also it's just returning to normal pre covid numbers
>PS sales down
>hahaha Sony is finished
>switch sales down
>supply issues
>only I am allowed to use that excuse
Nah I liked it better when nobody was using it, but go ahead and keep using it if that helps your ego.
Projection, i merely like pointing out hypocrisy
>LAST DAY
Shit! I had forgotten OT2 is so soon.
>Octopath II is already 9 on Switch
are the preorders for FFXVI open yet?
You might want to sit down for this one, maybe use the bathroom first if you have to.
damn, it's that bad?
yes
it's been close to a month after that tweet, is FF16 still not on COMG?
see
Also, here's their website for you to confirm: https://www.comgnet.com/ranking/
I find it weird that no game past like April is charting like no SF6 or even like Diablo?
COMG is cumulative, while things like amazon are daily, sometimes even smaller increments.
Even so there website says 1 point is ~1000 sales your telling me you think FFXVi and Street fighter 6 havent sold 4k copies in a month?
yes, according to those charts. i don't think you understand how much SF5 was disliked in japan. i can totally believe SF6 not having 4k preorders by now
there's a game on there #15 Aokana that releases in late May
Yeah I see that one, bizarre, honestly I'm still suspect only because I know that neither of those games will perform poorly but then not charting just doesn't make sense to me.
i refuse to believe that fricking rune factory 3 port is on there but a mainline FF isn't. they must not be allowed to pre-ordered from COMG stores.
still not even charted
IIRC forspoken first appeared on comg when it had 103 days til release so FF16 has until march 12th to appear on COMG or else its literally selling worse than Forspoken
Almost time bois.
>Forspoken mogged by A Wonderful Life
>mogged by a remake of a Gamecube farming game
fricking kek
ff16 hasn't even charted yet you dumb troony lmao
>so threatened by FF16 even just a picture of yoship causes anon to shit and piss
Why would anyone be threatened by a game selling worse than Forspoken and getting worse trailer views than Forspoken? Hell FF16 is selling worse than FFXV lmao
>uses yoshitpiss image to seethe over forspoken b-but please belieb me I'm not a yoshitpiss shill
xvitroon on suicide watch
What does the Change and Points mean on this ?
The number of people that have preordered a particular game at COMGnet, a small chain (12 stores?) in one particular prefecture of Japan
Those numbers are the actual number of people, no 1pt = 100 people. However, COMG preorder numbers tend to work out to 1pt = 1000 launch week sales on average
Hardcore games like AAAs tend to be 1pt > 1000 whereas casual games show the opposite with 1pt < 1000
Whoops, I flipped my inequality signs
Hardcore games, 1pt tends to be less than 1000 units launch week
Casual games, 1pt tends to be more than 1000 units launch week
The explanation being that casual gamers are less likely to preorder. They'll just buy on launch day/week in a store
Got it, but im wondering what would even be the difference of hardcore and casual games, like, im sure that games with huge fanbases like dq probably have a reach in both of these demographics
By casual, it's the truly casual like Story of Seasons
>Atelier ryza3

Sophie 2 did well enough but not as good as expected coming from the Ryza games.
>When's it releasing again? Feburary?
February 24th.
>surprising high.
More or less, a bit higher than expected considering it's a remaster but the original did very well in Japan back when it released.
Thank you for the OT2 date anon
>ryza sold much better
homosexuals.
How does Ryza games compare to the Sophie ones? Any major differences or basically same shit just different cute girls being cute in different ways?
There’s no real difference Sophie 2 plays like a modern atelier game. It’s nothing like the Ps3 games or the ps2 ones
Alright, might buy all three then later this year, appreciated anon.
Not sure haven't played all them, as far as I recall Ryza is more newbie friendly.
>Switch still truckin
So when will the switch successor launch? Holiday 2024 or holiday 2025?
it'll be out when it's out
I'm still holding to early 2024 unless Nintendo wants to do a huge switch price cut which I personally don't believe they'll do.
>early any year
Consoles are launched on or near black friday and this has been the case for over two decades. Exception being the Switch which was an abnormal circumstance.
I think an early launch for the switch 2 would be fine, because it's going to sell 10 million in the first month no matter what.
That's absurd. Switch only did 3 million in its first month.
>Switch 2 comes out
>DQ12 is a launch window title
There'd be riots in the streets of Japan during the lotteries.
The best selling dragon quest is well less than 10 million units.
>DQ12 is a launch window title
they can't do that, the Japanese governmet would sent Yakuza to Nintendo.
I kneel in real life at Nintendo's own HQ if they managed to do that.
Sometime in 2024. If the Nikkei article holds any water it's a matter of being able to provide supply.
I'm thinking 2024 but it has pretty massive legs so I'm not sure.
2024 definitely, though hard to say if it'd be Holiday, or Spring like the switch and original 3ds.
There's really no reason considering the Switch is maintaining exceptional momentum 6 years in that other consoles conventionally would expect to have lost on maybe the 3rd year or so. If the SoC they're using is still effective a choice in the face of the shortages, they can maintain support for the Switch beyond 2025 within reason.
Holiday 2024 with Prime 4
>Zelda boost
>Mario movie boost.
If anything else just discount and rake frickload of money on holidays. Makes me wonder why every company considered a failure back on launch.
How come we never see more PS5 games on the top 30 list? It can't be sustainable for developers and publishers to support the PS5 if their games don't sell, right? What's the digital ratio looking like approximately??
90% digital / 10% physical so it's fine
On the off chance that you're not being sarcastic, and for anyone else who happens to read this and is curious, according to the CESA white paper, only 20% of ps5 software purchases are made digitally in japan, while the switch actually had a slightly higher 24% rate.
People are basically using their PS5s as "PS4+s" until big releases come out. The software lineup is kinda abysmal for the thing, especially with Steam gaining more of a foothold in the region.
>we're just waiting the big games
it's been two years though. why even release the PS5 if you don't have any games ready to go?
Sony has a history of attempting to undercut its competition even if it means taking a massive hit in the process. Microsoft was about to launch their fancy new gaming PC tier console so Sony had to get into the market as well.
It's part of why they are hellbent on keeping MS from buying up ActBlizz and effectively cornering the Western market. Because that leaves them holding one hell of a bag.
Post yfw FEE and OT2 end up selling more than FF16 in Japan. Not saying it'll happen but you never know.
Not happening with octo2, that'll be the snoy cope for how "actually, ff16 didn't do bad, look, it outsold octopath 2!"
Could be funny.
Alear will defeat CHAOS, I believe.
would this be the first time that FE outsells FF in Japan?
Probably. Not sure what would be the comparison with something like FF13-2 and LR:FF13 and the contemporary FE.
>FF16
I have zero respect for a game that so blatantly and radically disregards its franchise, to the point where it's an entirely different genre even.
I hope it's outsold by most games this year. FF16 has no rights being called FF16 and I do not care how much Square Enix try to argue otherwise.
FEE is near guaranteed to do it.
XC 3 sold like 500k in Japan alone, something like 550-600k for FEE is completely possible.
FF16 might do something like 300-400k in the first quarter (being generous).
PS5 is dead there, and 300-400k is still gonna make it the best selling PS5 game; it's sad.
I am not celebrating engage selling well because It's censorshit
My murder hobo wife Alear<3
Iwata really deserved to see the Switch's uber success.
Fricking shame man. Hell he'll probably fight off some of the paid online and dlc shit too.
>Pokemon SV still on top
>One Piece didn't even have combined 100K
It's over for One Piece.
It was a cashgrab, nothing of value was lost, I wanna take bets how much will take to press the "emergency "miracle" Switch port" button.
I love how you can tell when eric is typing his rants while crying b***h tears, just from how many typos he makes
Does Nintendo solely rely on new generations of kids, or do people seriously keep re-buying and re-playing all these rehashes?
>Saying this when Sony just rereleased a PS3 game
>he says as he buys the last of us for the 3rd time, now with 50% less features
Neither, lol, all your post is is cope, nintendo themselves admits a majority of their player is over 18
I don't need to cope because I don't care about console wars, I just find it funny because it's literally the EA Sports business model, and if any other publisher had this kind of output, they would be the joke of the industry.
anon sony just recently rereleased a game you could already play on the PS5 for $70
the absolute fricking irony and lack of awareness on this Black person, while Nintendo has more new IP this gen than sony or microsoft
So, how big will be octopath 2's numbers? more than xenoblade 3?
It'll outsell Live A Live but not Octopath 1.
Octopath will be massive overall because it is not exclusive this time
But i wouldnt doubt if it sells 100k
Unironically, not being nintendo exclusive is gonna frick octopath 2. Octopath 1 got shit tons of free press from nintendo, promotions every direct, and showed up in advertisements. Snoys aren't going to buy it because muh graffix, and they're losing out on all the free marketing the switch version got last time.
So basically, OT2 is about to receive the NEO:TWEWY treatment from Nintendo, huh?
To be fair Squeenix did basically try to pretend the Switch version didn't exist and removed it from a lot of the advertisements they made.
Anyone have the picture of that street ad with the switch logo covered with a piece of paper?
It's EXACTLY that situation. Remember how yokai watch was legitimately eating at pokemon's market share for a while, and then dropped off a cliff when it released for ps4 as well and stopped getting special treatment from nintendo?
No?
They considered it a featured game of the Direct it was revealed on. It will most likely appear on the next direct and have a demo dropped there.
Nintendo will keep their good relationship with Team Asano going, and I won't be surprised if DQ3HD returns to Switch exclusivity anyway.
>I won't be surprised if DQ3HD returns to Switch exclusivity anyway.
SE sucks Sony's wiener enough to not let that happne, if that game was exclusive it would have been announced by now.
Yeah that's why DQ Treasures is an unpaid exclusive to Switch...
We are not even talking on the same leagues here anon, do you understand what DQIII is? that game is cornerstone of the nip vidya industry, you can't compare a game that is borderline a mobage (that I'm definetly sure this game will land on phones either this year or 2024) to fricking DQIII
I doubt nu-Sony cares about the legacy of DQ3
>SE sucks Sony's wiener enough to not let that happne
Why isn't Dragon Quest Treasures on PlayStation, then?
Last time I checked, Nintendo didn't fund/license the game, so why?
Because "it's a spinoff" or "it's just treasures, who cares?" doesn't count btw
Dragon quest 10 is already on ps5. So your theory goes right out the window
And how did it do again?
>Why isn't Dragon Quest Treasures on PlayStation, then?
Answer, anon!
The model rips from treasures show very low resolution textures and models.
Square more or less has to give the game an HD treatment if it goes to other platforms.
Not true. DQXIS also has low res textures and models, and it did not stop Square Enix for porting it to PS4, XB1, and Steam.
Their excuse to make a separate release for DQXIS on those systems was that it was a different version of UE4.
Ubisoft tried many things.
Dqixs was already derived from 11 which had to be scaled down to the switch.
Capcom had to apply HD stuff to arise so it could get ported
You moron. Square Enix ported Dragon Quest 11 (the Switch enhanced port) as is with all the low res shit to PS4, XB1, and Steam. They clearly don't give a shit
Dragon Quest 12 and Dragon Quest 3 HD are Switch-only titles
>the reason no launch platform was announced at DQXII's reveal is because the Switch 2 wasn't revealed yet
I believe it
Then again back in the day SE said DQ11 could potentially release on "NX" and it did.
They didn't say "potentially", they said it "is" launching on NX. It was literally the first ever game announced for the system.
I think Nintendo wants them to be more hush about the Switch 2 this time around though
People need to realize how bad NEO marketing was. Octo 2 is 10x better.
NEO was revealed on twitter, didn't show for any directs, and had 3 secs of footage on SE's own E3.
Chances are Octo 2 gets shown off in the next direct in late Jan/Feb, but it's already gotten a lot more than NEO.
You now remember how they advertised Neo TWEWY in Japan.
kek and it still sold better on Switch LMAO
Reminds me how ubisoft made rayman legend multiplatform and release it on PlayStation and Xbox before the Wii U only for the Wii U version to be the only one that sold well.
Hahahaha
Get fricked SE
Does Sony not realize that people see this stupid patchup job they're trying to pull in marketing? Do they think the gaming market is moronic to that point?
It might've been SE not Sony though.
There is nothing for SE (alone) to gain from trying to erase the best selling platform in Japan
It would have to come from some deal with Sony on marketing. Otherwise, there is literally no sane reason NEO TWEWY didn't appear in a single Nintendo Direct. It's free advertising
Still can't believe some snoy was angry enough to cover up the Switch logo for a game franchise created on a Nintendo platform
The absolute fricking state
Was it ever confirmed if this was just from some store employee or official direction from SE on advertisements?
I believe it's because it was in a Playstation store or the Playstation section of a store
Absolutely anally wreched.
Fricking Hell. Damn.
yeah get fricked squat enix
That was in the west though because Nintendo was publishing it, in Japan it was all up to S-E and remember they undershipped the first batch.
It will probably be a trade, japan will get less marketing but worldwide will probably get bigger reach
This is something i also realized with crisis core. People usually think that having more platforms means that it should sell more, when depending on the platform this is not true
Like, if Crisis Core had nintendo directs like Xenoblade 3, or all the push of marketing, im sure the game would sell at least 2x more on switch
But at least the game sold 150k with the 3 platforms so it was good overall
This is why making comparisons about exclusives and third party games never makes a lot of sense to me
Depending on which level of marketing and ads you get, being an exclusive doesnt mean having a disadvantage
Xenoblade 3 got more attention than it would ever get if it was a third party
this is actually a really good point that I didn't think of
There's a different context, OT had its Project demo not too long after Switch launched to get player feedback and all that and then had a second demo several months later. OT2 is coming very shortly after its announcement and nobody involved is trying to gather attention around it.
Actually YW became multiplat because it was dying.
I think a lot of it will depend on reviews/word of mouth. There was a lot of backlash from Octopath One so a lot of people will be on the fence for this one. I'm in the same boat.
75-85k first week overall.
So why do people keep pretending PS5s exist?
I still don't get why this sub is so obsessed with Sony
30 million with no games is impressive
/pol shutters who read the word california and it sent them into a 5+ year rage despite Sony as a whole doing business in California for decades
>sub
go back, and stay there
Misaki_TL > may.sakaali
Can anyone explain me why is there a huge demand for Switch?:
https://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-reportedly-looking-to-increase-switch-production/
The thing is almost 6 years old
This isn't normal, Nikkei claiming that Switch will sell 20 million doesn't sound too crazy
Sauce on this Japanese qt?
May Sakaali
Pokébros, we eating good.
Damn, it's low quality, but at least we're getting fresh copes this week
I think we gave the troll an aneurysm
>(physical only)
who cares
see
Is it still 1995 in Japan? That seems shockingly low.
Japan is one of the last places that still pushes for physical media. Hell, nearly all of their music still comes out on CDs instead of streaming.
America has most of its music come out in records which have been outpacing CDs
>profits down
Profits down does not imply there are no profits moron.
>imply there are no profits
ESL? how did you even get that from my post?
He got that from the title of your image, anon
no I mean I never said there was no profit. just that it was massively down
Yeah, he inferred just from that, which is wrong
>profits down
huh?
>nintendo lost another slot from top-10 to Sony
Tick tock tendies. You said last time nintendo wasn't going downwards, but here we are. Next week it's gonna be 3/10, then 4, 5, shitch selling less than PS5, and soon we arrive to Sony 10/10 for the next 5 years.
Sony wins again another gen, nintendo is gonna go bankrupt next year.
Nice argument nintroony
Frick off
That was a falseflagging tendie, everyone already knows that. Only tendies rely on spam and and degenerate tactics to attack Sony.
We won, frick off
you aren't kratosgay
hey remember that time you derailed a ps5 thread by samegayging a conversation with yourself?
imagine believing this omega uber cope when even during the ps4 sony couldn't have a strangle hold on the top30.
see you next week when ofyssey falls like a stone and FE:E sold 300-500k. Then stays in the top10 till TotK.
Engage is looking more like 250-280k. Still pretty impressive, and probably more than ff16 will do.
You said the same shit last year and it didn't happen kratos
Why aren't Sony fans buying games for the PS5?
why aren't they buying games at all
They are it’s why both God of War and Horizon are some of the top selling games on the NPD.
You will never see a non bundled sony game in that list
NPD doesn’t count bundles
Elden ring literally sold best on PlayStation is still charting dipshit
>Elden ring literally sold best on PC
FTFY
Only as a single platform moron. It sold more on consoles period
Yeah, and consoles include Xbox, dumbfrick
Your still wrong pc cuck and now you've been corrected.
>ER SOLD MOST ON PLAYSTATION
>no it sold most on PC
>WELL IF YOU ADD XBOX SALES TO PLAYSTATION IT SOLD MORE
Do you even read what you post?
Im not the anon who claimedbit sold the most on playstation homosexual. I merely a corrected a PC gay who said something that wasn't true
56 is more than 44. I said it sold more on consoles, not a specific console. Cope
That's not what you said here
That's not me moron. I only replied to the gay who said it sold best on PC
Which is true, the platform it sold the most on is PC, you included xbox sales to playstation when they are separate platforms
>if I lump xbox sales with playstation we win
how the mighty have fallen
Im pretty sure they tried the same shit for monster hunter as well
It doesn’t suddenly make it better when you have to include multiple consoles to compare to PC sales
*You're
Only one being corrected is you, favela monkey
cope
THE DIVISION??
such horrendous taste
Only in Europe. No one knows for NA or Asia.
Europe has a significantly higher playstation market on average than NA.
I'm aware, I'm just saying that only applies to Europe, not globally.
>People arguing about Squre Enix Japanese releases
>When Square said they’re focusing on global releases and sales for all future titles because the Japanese market is unsustainable
ff16sisters... its over...
Now do it with all the systems
ff16sisters... it's over...
LUL
>game that comes out in a few days selling higher than game that comes out in 5 months
Whoa...
Your favorite schizo arrived, now just test one thing
talk shit about forspoken= insta reply
Also about ff15
I do not care for mystic dark folks.
it's cringe.
Funny how Ganker loves and rejoice to shit on ps5 "bad sales" but they conveniently ignores Xbox terrible sales
Really makes you think, huh?
Fricking Gankereddit is full of hypocrites, if you're gonna shit on PS, do the same for Xbox.
Shut up spamgay
we don't care about moco$oft tacochaser
Breath of the Wild mogs the shit outta garbage like FFXV.
Oh boy, you’re trying to activate multiple schizos with a single post now
Horizon mogs breath of the mild in graphics, gameplay, and sales
AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAGGAHAA
Frick off, tendie shill
Frick off, snoy troony israelite
LOL lmao
Gameplay censorship
>tendies are so mindbroken that they try to redefine censorship
it was pretty funny when you tried to start that graphics censorship shit
How is this ANYTHING BUT censorship?
See
Graphics aren’t being suppressed for any of the reasons listed, meanwhile sony suppresses gameplays to force you to look at troony and BLM propaganda (politics) or for obscenity (censoring every anime game)
Bingtendo considers good graphics to be unacceptable because the shitch can't run them, so they are censored
Thats not politically unacceptable however, try again, troony
>ahaha stupid tendies gameplay censorship aint real
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GRAFFIXSCENSHIP IS TOTES A SURIS MATTER
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
beyond fricking sad. Fix yourself.
Gameplay matters leagues more than the number of polygons.
World has better gameplay, so bingtendo censored that too in rise
And Ultimate has all the monster on switch
>World has better gameplay
You arent even trying to bait anymore eric, this is just sad
>defending the bingbugs and red pimples
Keep seething eric.
>defending worlds gameplay at all
Stop defending gameplay censorship eric
Bingtendo censored rise. World is the only good monster hunter.
>World is the only good monster hunter.
Kys World baby
You first, tendie shill
Unlike you, he’s not a troony so no reason to kill himself
honestly surprised with all the S.o.i Boi pictures with a switch, that the trannies would rather stick with sony
the thing is that snoys don't post the meme face gays that do with playstations
>still defending gameplay censorship
Eric just hates video games, thats why he loves gameplay censored games like world and calls it the best monster hunter
snoy gameplay censored world because you can't skip cutscenes
>NOOOO, IS THAT A COMPELLING STORY WITH GRAPHICS THAT DON'T LOOK 3 DECADES OLD? SAVE ME BINGTENDO, I NEED OUTDATED CRAP, NOT SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY LOOKS AND PLAYS LIKE IT WAS MADE THIS DECADE!
>outright admitting he hates gameplay and wants his games to be gameplay censored since he wants to watch a movie
This is just sad
>COMPELLING STORY
maybe if you are a troony
rise has more monsters than world and they're usually better fights as well
World has more MONSTERS like badass dinosaurs and dragons.
Rise has more bunny rabbits and vendortrash raptor clones. It does not have more MONSTERS, and all of the ones it stole from world are inferior to their world versions.
>dinosaurs and dragons.
no it's 90% flying wyverns
>inferior to their world version
not with capcom literally expanding their movesets
Poopbreak flopped
>outsold world+icebreak on PS4
>flopped
5 million units sold. This in about the same time it took for Iceborne to do while being available for less platforms.
Cool great.
Learn to read you troony ass Black person frick.
Generations is shit.
World is shit.
Rise is shit.
Capcom abandoned the core of Mon Hun to chase after casuals and bastardized the series.
Frick ALL of you.
You really need to fricking die you worthless sack of shit.
Portable 3rd on the psp is leagues above the garbage that is world.
You niggrs wouldn't know a good game if it bent you over a table and remodeled your shitter.
4u was great fun, I miss it as well.
>he really thinks pikmin3 dx is comparable to Pikmin4
>not realizing it's been 5 years since 2018 so MP4 should be just about ready after the restart
>STILL betting against the Switch
I got some real bad news anon.
lolol.
no.
It doesn't.
Monster Hunter hasn't had good gameplay since 4ult.
Which is solely on capcom chasing the dip shit casual homosexual market.
god damn it anon, now I'm remembering the good times in 4 Ultimate
running with 3 OP Charge Blades. good times
>World has better gameplay
Even by definition, sony’s movie games are gameplay censored since they have any semblance of good gameplay suppressed by shitty gameplay and cutscenes
this meatball is way too spicy chef.
Not shitting on terraria as well
You even trying anon?
botw is worse than ffxv though
FFXV was so bad that it's negatively tainting FFXVI's reception
If FFXV never existed, FFXVI would be better off
ff16sisters wtf why are ffxv chads carrying FF16...
damn guess ff8 selling worse than ff7 is becoming ff7 hurt the brand...
Flopspoken will do so badly that the famitsu sales thread following it will actually feel pity for it instead of hilarity.
And then all pity will leave your body when the twin schizoposting of eric and barry floods the thread with cope
Interestingly, they will probably be arguing in a few months once 16 comes out since their positions will opposite, Barry hates 16 while eric needs to defend it (not exclusive btw) for Sony’s honour
Yeah, it's a temporary truce for them
Nah it'll just be a source of laughter for weeks to come
Laughing at both the flop and at Barry
Its outselling ff16... ff14troons collectively 41%ing...
Sony lost
FFXIV and FFXVI shit on FFXV
BotW is a better adventure game than Terraria
XVI-kun DON'T LOOK!!!!!
I mean is this supposed to be bad for XVI it's barely behind a game releasing in 6 months
>Literal Barry and Eric crossover episode again
Interesting.
Barry won.
ACgay and the discord trannies that eternally seethe over BOTW should also be summoned, if possible, you could even get the N64 schizo
summon every schizo then ban every IP that posted in the thread, for the greater good
It takes no effort to evade, no point
Barry is being a schizo on internet since 2006, eric is a child compared to him
I don't know what this censorship argument is about but Dokapon Kingdom's Switch remaster is censored and also isn't coming to PS. This kills the narrative that if a Jap game skips PS it doesn't get censored.
Anon, sony censors japanese games IN JAPAN. Everyone fricking knows that shit gets censored in america, regardless of publisher.
reminder that flopspoken preorder numbers are fake
>569 messages 83 posters
kek what a bunch basement dwellers
We should make another thread
I dont want to wait until thursday to see you guys again
I don't want so see any of you again tbqh.
Don't worry. Once flopspoken comes out there's no doubt gonna be thread after thread on how badly the game sold in it's first week in Japan.
eric and barry gonna be working overtime for the next few months
Switch sports didnt break a million in japan?
Damn limp wrists
Reminder that poopbreak barely broke 250k sales in japan
Capcom already said 5 million eric, time to 42%
Reminder that you doxed yourself while defending mighty number 9 solely because you thought mega man 11 was a switch exclusive.
