Japanese publishers focus on other genres than western publishers. And it's not all just about pumping out new maps and characters, but many games can also benefit from post-launch in-game events and tournaments, which is something that Nintendo is doing with Splatoon (and tried to do with Arms, but they started too late).
Well, it outsells the ps4 and every other platform in japan handily and is having some of Nintendo's best software sales ever which are mostly core offerings. I'd say it's in a good spot in the coming years.
In the coming years, definitely. Right now and in the coming months, it's just another option, not necessarily the best one or even less one that third party have absolutely to support or they are just stupid/biased/slow/whatever.
That's not strange, you know this is the near future best selling system there and your post is literally a self-fulfilling prophecy: if it doesn't get DS/3DS level of support, it won't get DS/3DS HW sales, which will slow down SW sales for the market in general.
It's relatively smaller numbers than that of 3DS, you know.
kirby is probably benefiting from a bigger userbase and being a new game amongst the many ports
obviously 45k =p
supply is still a problem u know
I'm japanese living in japan, and supply is not a problem.
Supply hasn't been a problem for couple of weeks anymore.
Yup
Will we see a bump to the evergreens then? Seems like Kirby shole the thunder last week but since it's been a week, it should let some evergreens get to shine.
Yeah, I do think that evergreens will go up slightly (not by a massive amount, single digit percentage increases). Kirby still is the major player for sales, so I don't expect any significant increases this week already. Will probably be a steady build per week (with single digit increases per week) back to the original level or slightly higher.
True! Do we have data for Kirby Triple Deluxe weeks after launch? I'm curious how Star Allies will hold up.
01./01. [3DS] Kirby Triple Deluxe <ACT> (Nintendo) {2014.01.11} (¥4.800) - 81.069 / 295.276 (-62%)Yeah, I noted last week that the Splatoon 2 bundles would return on the 27th on amazon, so maybe the distribution is lopsides, meaning that amazon got a lot last week and now other retailers get more. We'll see from the Splatoon 2 numbers if there were significant quantities of Splatoon 2 bundle available.
it not selling out instantly doesn't mean there isn't any supply problems, nintendo is still prioritizing rotw over japan
It's not third party job to help a console to sell. I don't think there is any example of them doing so ever. They always just follow opportunities. Always. The opportunities to develop for Switch are certainly not that great that they should justify the kind of support many people here seem to think that platform should have.
What is wrong about that lol ? These are just facts that people seem to easily forget. Please feel free to tell me what is wrong about what I'm saying? Do you even have a single argument?
Playstation consoles always sell amazing well while Nintendo platforms (consoles+hanhelds which Switch is a successor of both) are a hit or miss and we got a huge miss recently. Also third parties don't put all their games from the get go to Sony platforms either. How did they support Vita for instance? How much time did it take for them to support PS1 or even PS4?
