We haven't heard that narrative since the Switch passed the PS4.
It failed to hit the top 40 individual formats and even the Switch top 20 the week it released in the UK lol, and that's in one of the slowest weeks of the year. That should mean it hardly did more than 100 units, if that. It's a bomba extraordinaire in the West.
Anime games do well on Switch, we have a ton of data to back that up so SAO performing well is not a surprise
GE2:RB PS4 sold badly. It also looked like this on PS4 and was released on an userbase of 1.15M (some people always like to talk about userbase differences until it doesn't fit an specific narrative).
30k on Switch would be an unremarkable debut but it's not like this result will decide if GE4 releases on Switch. If GE4 exists it will probably release day and date with other versions.
Oh, even the PS4 release was abysmal? Man, that's truly awful, then. The game must be hurting quite a bit now that it's Japanese sales have basically been halved.
Lol
Changes "bushes" to "west" and you get the idea if you've seen the film.
Great movie.

I understand. A "portable" version could still be a high profile release though, also quality wise. For example, it was a very big deal when MHP3rd released, and its the best selling MH game so far by a good margin (as far as Japan goes at least). Its a good quality release. If Capcom brings such type a MH game to the Switch, it will be seen as a big deal and good support.
While I'm sure it won't chart in the July NPD charts, and it may possibly end up being an overall bomba in the West, you simply can't say that just based on the UK. Selling super badly in the UK does not mean "bomba extraordinaire in the West".

You brought up the « when it doesn't suit them people forget about userbases » and what I'm telling you is that it's a line brought up against Switch support more than in favor of it to justify ones line of thoughts.
I remembered that episode a bit differently, so I looked it up in the archives. You were getting flack for your argument, but userbase size was the least of your problems. ;)
LOL... I happened to spot you in the archives, too. You were defending the PS4 about GE3 poor sales by claiming it look like a Vita game. At least you're consistent.
badly to punish this stupid "Later, please double dip, please beg" behavior. (says the guy buying late ports without issues)
I wonder if a cpu boost would even help a Monster Hunter World port
They begged Nintendo not to let it run RE5's title screen, but Nintendo was like, "Nah." Poor Capcom.
Actually... I think you might be right.
Well, the info that Bruno gave nominates it for the title bomba extraordinaire. I just gave an extra example (for even as bad as the UK is for Japanese software, selling 100 units or so is a special kind of bad).
Maybe we are not talking about the same thing. I am talking specifically about the Switch version. Bruno was talking about the PS4 version, and that is what he had information about. I seriously doubt Bruno presently has information about GE3 Switch performance besides UK (and perhaps EU).
I know and I did not realise that when I responded to Bruno. But I don't have high hopes for the Switch, either. It's not likely imo that games that bomb extraordinarily like GE3 often find good performance on other systems: PS4 is not a bad platform for Japanese games by any means in the West.
