Maybe after 9, they can make their engine more agnostic (or move to one) and do ports themselves

Whilte their internal engine is problematic they seem to be changing that with Ys IX already. The bigger issue with Falcom is that they simply don't have the manpower to support more than one ecosystem. These ports too are outsourced.

Lite_Agent said:
I really wouldn't expect anything Nintendo Switch from XSEED / Marvelous other than localisation of Marvelous games and publishing of indie games not ported by them. So Falcom games... nah.

In the past XSEED has said they have looked into it but according to them it is hard to find companies porting to Switch due to the demand and development kits for the Switch being a natural gift. The logical sense would be that they emply Marvelous but they clearly cannot motivate them to jump heavily on the Switch AND port external games.

MegaXZero said:
It's less that it's a reasonable excuse and more like Falcom will stick on the S.S. Sony even if the ocean dries up.

If any company would want to take in Falcom's catalogue they just have to cooperate with them. The reason Falcom has such a strong relation with Sony is because they get a lot of development help from them and they have been releasing the Cold Steel games in Asian territories.

fiendcode said:
Given the Ys VIII ratio I'm not sure how they justify not doing Switch ports. It's more lucrative than PC for the audience.

Manpower is a justification.

Looks like Famitsu released Week 18 and 19 hardware

So that confirms - as we suspected - that Switch is basically flat in a weak week; that's encouraging.

Yeah I was just joking. I'm certain the ps4 will hit 9m and hoping for 10m.

Yeah, no worries :) I just mean that even if PS4 had done like 15k a week now, i think it still would probably still be at the end (ending up within the 8-10 million range).

Xbox numbers are reversed and 3DS is wrong.

I'm glad they released the numbers (although my estimates were not too far off, I know that guesstimates like mine can never be correct =) )

3DS really looks wrong (sum is too high), but are you saying that Xbox sold more in Week 19 than in 18?

Dengeki's Top 50 is out.

Dengeki's Top 50 is out.

Switch slightly below last week there (31.7k against 32.0k), PS4 nearly at 11k. Not usual for Dengeki to have PS4 higher and NSW lower than Famitsu.

sfortunato said:
Switch is keeping up with last year's performance and will perform much stronger in June and July thanks to big games releasing.

I assume you mean on a week to week basis. YTD it is blowing 2018 out of the water, should be up +1000k or more by the end of the year depending on when Animal Crossing releases, revisions, and the impact of games like Yo-Kai Watch and Mario Maker 2.

TimeFire · May 23, 2019

Huh, I completely missed that Ultimate passed Splatoon last week.

Neat. Ultimate is a beast.

I'll contact Okami for correct 3DS numbers later, the rest are as posted below.

Dengeki Online Sales: Week 19, 2019 (May 06 - May 12)

plusaflag · May 23, 2019

This might be Famitsu's lowest total software sales in the top 30 I've seen in 20 years.
This hurts my eyes.

Almost 80k at retail, including digital it might have already surpassed the original one on Wii which did around 100k. Not too bad!

I don't get this. Those shipped units will have to be sold eventually, or are you expecting retailers to send them back to Nintendo?

Not unusual for shipped product to sit unsold for years, even decades. It's still relatively easy to buy last gen consoles and games in new condition at major retailers, despite production ending. You can even still buy a brand new PS2 without too much trouble, if you don't mind paying around ~$500-600 for it.

I mean, not really? Not when they're doing PC ports and other similar or smaller pubs (NISA, Ghostlight, IFIA, Aksys, PQube, etc) are managing Switch ports.

Whilte their internal engine is problematic they seem to be changing that with Ys IX already. The bigger issue with Falcom is that they simply don't have the manpower to support more than one ecosystem. These ports too are outsourced.

Falcon has a clear preference over Sony and they show it in every chance, it has nothing to do with limited manpower.

Them and Danganronpa team are some of the most pro Sony Japanese developers.

Lol. I still laugh for that pic lol. The funny thing is, they can just throw the game to some publisher to port to switch there and be done with it. But even those they are too lazy to do lol.

I imagine Bamco will have at least one or two reveals at the MS conference.

I would have never thought that some Japanese developers would be that deep into console warring. Or maybe it does exist in the West too and I am just not seeing it.

Yes, but it wouldn't account for such a difference that 25 million+ in shipments would still mean there is no chance that it will sell through 25 million units. The 2DS bundles and shipments to other countries might, though.

Still so weird that they never ported Detective Pikachu to Switch and instead decided to marry Let's Go to it. I'll never get why.

That I don't get either, especially with the movie releasing. I guess they thought the hype of Pokemon Go had a bigger pull than the movie?

I'll never understand it. All the money they're leaving on the table by not bringing this to Switch (I don't personally care about the franchise, but I know many people who would love to play those games on Switch).

Yes, that's why I said port it. It seemed as no-brainer a decision as it gets to promote your movie but I never happened. Hence my questioning.

Maybe they release it together with the Blu-Ray of the movie, also a nice bundle.

It's always amusing to look at Spike Chunsoft's support. On one hand, you have Uchikoshi Kotaro, who shows obvious favoritism to Nintendo handhelds. 999 started out on the DS, but it was a flop in Japan. The series went multi-platform, but he never abandoned the Nintendo handhelds. On the other hand, you have the Danganronpa team that's like "why should we make multi-platform games when people should just buy a Vita?!"

Adventureracing · May 24, 2019

June can't come soon enough. Thankfully after that the rest of the year should be really good.

Can't believe YW4 is seriously being projected at 500K-1million lifetime sales. That's a spectacular fall from grace for a series that reached near the top echelon of Japanese sales. Still hoping it'll be good and do a bit more than that.

HW sales so slow this week. Is anything stopping them from dropping lower? Curious when the PS4 will see a price cut or sales are going to get real ugly soon.
