Yo-kai and Pokemon is an interesting comparison since there is a chance both make the jump to the Switch this year. The jump in terms of 3DS to Switch is going to be massive for both games, should definitely drive interest in lapsed users in Japan. I do wonder if both release before the end of November whether they have a chance to sell >3M this year.
Man oh man.
The first ban in that thread will be legendary I'm sure. A bit sad that it is 100% bound to happen but considering how that game has dominated the conversation here there's little chance I see of sunshine and rainbows unfortunately.
Let's hope for the best even though the signs are apparent enough at this stage that people will go OTT.
Shouldn't Switch hardware be at least really good for this time of the year? If we consider all the people that couldn't get one in previous weeks and that Nintendo should now be in the capacity of steadier important supplies that would again be extremely disappointing and a bit strange if we are back to the level of the pre-holidays period.

I wonder if this could be the "Switch for kids" some people (including me) speculated about. I doubt they'd tease it just for a game or even service.
I'm quoting this again. If you're going to accuse me of such things, it would be nice if you could follow through the discussion and not just basically end the conversation with that after i've given answer showing that those accusations arent the case. Its fine that you bring it up if you got that impression, that brings more clearity to the situation, but i think it would be nice if you could recognize my reply where i show that those accusations arent the case. I dont like to have a discussion with a fighting tone, especially when there hasnt really been any disagreeing with the point. I think its better to end the discussion on a more frinedly tone instead :) I just wanted to mention that.
Yeah, thats possible. We'll see soon enough how much they're able to ship :)
That seems to be what most people here are also predicting. Prediction League has predictions ranging from about 35k to 130k, but that is for the first two weeks. Most of them are somewhere around 70k-90k, which would be in the vicinity with what YSO predicts (first week only).
By the way, do you have the link to your post with all the Monster Hunter World predictions, silpheed-mcd?
Not only is that true for PS4 as well, we just had a new Gundam game announced for PS4, but the actual release schedule is evident. I have to question if you've seen the lists posted in previous MC's? Late PS4 ports aren't really going to change what was said
Once again, that was on third parties all moving to SW and PS4 sharing its software will be bad to which I responded that said statement is premature and reality is quite different.
Capcom is making bank as well though and these pubs aren't making money from just mobile but there console segments as well. Wishful thinking will only get you so far in claims like your first sentence.
I wonder how big of a part digital will play as well.

Parental control 2
It will also depend on what possible YW game L5 will bring to switch if anything
With Snack world it seems to be a port of the 3ds game it seems
With inazuma we could see the first real switch effort
I would be disappointed by game freak presenting an uprez 3ds game as switch debut
Do I have to remind you of this again?
You're going to have be more specific.
I'm looking at Capcom's data right now and
I see net sales had YoY increases for the last 2 years, but their cost of sales has increased as well that it made no significant change to their gross profit.
It turns out their profit ratio has went down due to that being at 35.3%
I can see their net income has increased YoY gradually, nothing to add there from what you already mentioned.
If it's not net sales of the whole companies' operations then, let's look at Digital Contents to see how they're doing with regards to games.
http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/benchmark_02.html
Okay, so their net sales has been increasing YoY over the last two years but their operating margins has been decreasing, so they're not making more money out of the sales they've been getting.
Eg. FY3/2016:
¥52,577 * .231 = ¥12,145 (Millions of Yen)
FY3/2017
¥58,704 * .189 = ¥11,095 (Millions of Yen)
So yeah, you're going to have to clarify where Capcom has been making YoY increases in revenue 4 years in a row. Not even Capcom's other businesses have had YoY increases of net sales 4 years in a row.
They're not making bank at all from their games in the last 7 years. As in, they've had shit all growth making money from their Digital Contents historically.
Your rhetoric isn't going to get you that far.
That's an example of a third party publisher making bank from mobile games.
Square Enix's Net Sales so far in FY3/2018
Digital Entertainment - HD Games:
Q1: ¥11B
Q2: ¥27.1B
Total: ¥28.1B
Digital Entertainment - Smart Devices:
Q1: ¥23.1B
Q2: ¥22.7B
Total: ¥45.8B
Sometimes I don't understand what people are arguing in this thread and.
Looking forward to Dissidia NT opening number. I think SE mishandled Dissidia quite badly. The original Dissidia sold pretty well and provides good alternative style of fighting game. I don't personally like typical fighting game, but Dissidia was quite fun. It's also in a way similar to Smash with very accessible control scheme yet retains some depth with deep customization, but the sales trajectory has been very different from Smash.

You don't have to use graphics to being a system to its knees. Though any other way, none of GF's games would run on the 3ds
Nintendo has full control of the games side specially the RPG
Typo, or exciting new venture?
Tom Nook to be replaced by Recette Lemongrass?

I am pretty sure nobody have seen how IE will actually look like
But te fact is tgs we will probably judge L5 switch transition by it and not by the snack world port I presume
And considering that game freak will probably develop a switch game too and not a 4ds port, I think we will be allowed to compare the 2
I didn't say that L5 switch games will look better Thsnks the Pokémon ones but they 3ds ones did
I disageee
I disagree because Dissidia already exists as a arcade game and is doing pretty well for its self
I totally know
Are we judging their product by an early WIP build?
I don't think so, right?
I think that I finally game and Pokémon switch game could be a good group to compare L5 and GF tech achievements on switch
On 3ds L5 clearly won the prize
Game Freak will still probably lose out. Level 5 has far more experience in HD development. at best, I'm thinking Game Freak would match the Yokai Watch prototype, and even then I dont think it's likely

L5 likes to bullshot a lot so I don't think we should give them the benefit of the doubt here
uhm... I dont get what you are saying.
I have the YW games running on my 3DS aside the Pokemon one.
in terms of pure visuals and in terms of frame rate, L5 games won over the Pokemon ones.
About Game Freak and L5 games, I'm not sure who will present the best game in terms of pure tech.
I just think that we should wait for some real Switch game, so skip the 3DS Snack World port, and wait for Inazuma Evelen, to be compared to the first real Pokemon Switchgame (that I hope will be the first one presented, skipping a 3DS port)
it's clearly gonna be Level 5, it wont even be a competition. they have far more experience than Game Freak. if GF can compare, it'd be a shock to everyone
EDIT: damn it, I'll stop bumping this old thread :\
