Reports of selling out across retailers in the US and even Amazon (US). Some thought the same was happening in Japan.
I don't think there's really as strict a delineation between the PlayStation and Nintendo audiences as you're implying here, at least not for these sorts of more core oriented titles. And a good chunk of the Vita audience already moved to Switch now given the software it's getting in Japan, this isn't exactly their first crack at handheld FFX. Plus this is a 6 year old remaster, why *really* should it sell more now than it did 4 years ago?
Variety kit did 90k.
I don't know the meaning behind this, but I find it hilarious. 😂
Sure, Switch is attracting a wider audience than the last several PlayStations. But why would that wider audience be uniquely more interested in the 5/6th release of a 6 year old remaster than the core audience who already bought it, possibly several times already? That Switch even matched sales of the 4 year old PS4 release is probably a result of it's wider reach as is and impressive on it's own, not many years late ports are doing that exactly.
They should be very happy then since every one of them is making it into the top 10(US) everytime
Because of the inclusion of a character from a niche franchise? I don't see that happening
He isnt talking about the next mainline game.
Nothing original but more ports for sure. VIII mobile, XIII Collection, XIV port or Cloud, XV Plus exclusive, etc.
original as in numbered?
Saying they will ignore the system couldnt be more wrong though.
Type-0 had the potential to go this direction, basically a mainline subseries. But it never really gained enough traction.
I used to think before the end of last year that they could reach potentially 18.5M but now with some data at hand, I wonder if they could not simply reach their initial targets.
There were more Smash announcements than just Joker. This week had Labo VR bump, Smash bump would have to be bigger.
Yeah I think they're looking at it like a single release because it's been very cheap for them to develop these titles and they will probably sell more than a million combined over the span of a couple of months.
My biased view is that a sizeable part of Nintendo gamers may be more attracted to older FF episodes (let's say FFI-IX) and less to the recent ones (FFVIII,FFX-XV).
Not the best argument since SE refused to bring these newer FF games to Nintendo consoles to begin - doubt classics like FF7 would have had issues selling on prior popular Nintendo systems.
These conversions of old Final Fantasy episodes for PC and later consoles/smartphones (port from the PC conversion) began around 2012 / 2013.
In any case the only Final Fantasy port 3DS would be able to run is FFVII.
You wrote that the Nintendo audience would be more attracted to classic FF titles .....and I'm saying that's difficult to prove when that's all they have been getting prior to the Switch.
There hasn't been a lot of non-mainline FF games lately, and there will be even fewer in the future. I don't think Switch will get any original FF content. I don't PS4 will get any original FF content outside FF7R either.
Or maybe Pokémon. That's how the 2DS launched, with XY in the west and RGBY VC in Japan.
I am expecting AC to launch before Pokemon so it would be better to time it around AC.
