Oh alright, thank you. Wouldn't look good for Resident Evil if that chart ended up being representative...
I'm guessing he's talking about AniHawk.
But rly no point to entertain that troll. His post history is full of console warring and shitting threads.
AniHawk wouldn't have been in this forum for long if he is an "unverified user"
The game is fully available in most of the big retailers.
If the rumored 600-700k shipment it's true, we know already it didn't reach these numbers.
Hmm... how would a 500k opening fare compared to previous games in the series, then? I don't think SE would be happy with a decline, even if it's been a while since the last entry
They have no choice but to live with it, they knew what they were doing.

PS2 Kingdom Hearts II 737.652 1.129.196 Square Enix 22/12/2005
PSP Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep 456.453 733.248 Square Enix 09/01/2010
PS2 Kingdom Hearts 411.492 840.497 Square 28/03/2002A smaller opening than KH2 would make sense I would assume. The PS2 was a much bigger deal in Japan than the PS4 is now, if I'm not mistaken.
It could fall inbetween Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts 2, I would guess? 550-600k perhaps?
I think there's zero chance Ys IX can beat Ys VIII (160k+ Japan, 500k+ global) so long as it's PS4 exclusive.

Spike Chunsoft isn't a monolithic entity. They might have some producers and teams within them that are massive Sony fanboys, but they have supported Nintendo platforms pretty well over the past few years...
... in fact, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is by far their most successful series of games of all time; and they are no doubt working on a new one for Switch as we speak. It's the one and only Pokemon spinoff series that has endured over the past 13 years and SPMD actually sold a fair bit better than GTI worldwide (the first time that a Pokemon spinoff game has ever outsold its predecessor outside of Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky!); and it isn't going down without a fight!
The fact that it is the only Pokemon spinoff series that wasn't turned into a mobile F2P game and survived as a full retail game shows that TPC want to still keep it going.
It's Spike Chunsoft's most important series; and with a Switch PKMD being their first real HD title (that isn't a visual novel), it's gonna be a huge project for them!

Using a licensed game as an example defeats your argument. TPC paid them to have it made, they didn't make it as their own choice
I'm pretty sure their own IPs would be more important to them than a licensed job, even if it sells more.
Yep, it's like saying Koei Tecmo was a big supporter of Wii, 3DS or Wii U. There's a clear difference between the way they supported those platforms(making games for Nintendo) and the way they support Switch.(putting their own games on the platform)
Yeah. For non-licensed titles, Kotaro Uchikoshi was the only one to consistently develop for Nintendo consoles at Spike Chunsoft. I expect every project he is involved in at Too Kyo Games will be on the Switch as well. Kodaka, on the other hand, has only been involved in PlayStation projects. It's a shame. Without Uchikoshi, I wonder how many more Spike Chunsoft games we'll get on the Switch after AI: Somnium Files -- probably close to zero.

Sales of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon are at continued decline. It won't be a surprise if Nintendo decides to end it like Pokemon Ranger and even if there's another entry on Switch nothing guarantees Spike Chunsoft will be the chosen again to develop it.
I still think we might see Fire Pro on Switch, it was hinted at a couple times. Maybe ports of the older Zero Escape and Sound Novel games too. I'd really like to see Shiren 6 on Switch, the series hasn't had a real new game in almost a decade.
Other than Fire Pro though everything likely does seem more Chunsoft side. Spike's franchises like Danganronpa, Kenka Bancho, etc, appear to be pretty firmly entrenched as Sony only.

It's strange because with KB and Conception they seemed to really want to transition to 3DS. It didn't go as planned but you would think they would be more comfortable supporting Switch because it seems to be a bit of a better fit.
Switch isn't a better fit for Kenka Bancho than 3DS was. They'd have to make new assets then, rather than re-using the ones they created for PS2 and didn't really have to touch much for PSP and then again for 3DS :P
Did they heavily reuse assets though? Wasn't Kenka Bancho 6 being cel shaded a departure?(honestly not too knowledgeable about the series)
Who else would ? Spike Chunsoft are the only ones who develop that kind of games. They're just Shiren the Wanderer clones with a Pokémon skin. If Spike Chunsoft doesn't make it I doubt anyone else would.
I guess, but it's really minor compared to Chunsoft who almost created the concept and produced all the games minus Chocobo Dungeon in that style. I didn't play Chocobo Dungeon games to know if there are some big differences.
Since the TPC guy expressed interest in both Pokkén and Mystery Dungeon shortly before Pokkén DX got announced, I'm pretty sure we'll get Mystery Dungeon down the line. It's not like they're expensive games and should still sell a couple millions.
Funny enough Chunsoft created Chocobo's Dungeon on the PS1. h.a.n.d took over for the Wii game. I agree h.a.n.d can absolutely substitute if needed. Chocobo's Dungeon on Wii was a great game.
I think there's a few others?
Are the Omega Labyrinth games modeled on Mystery Dungeon?
Those are by Matrix Software.
So did Square (Chocobo 1/2), Matrix (Torneko 2-3, Nightmare of Druaga) and Tose (Chocobo WS).
Cavia (RIP) did Shoen Yangus.
Ahh so going back to my last post Matrix definitely has MD experience!
I kinda doubt Nintendo will be interested by Matrix's background on Omega Labyrinth and entrust them with Pokémon :D
But I definitely didn't know that there was a few companies that did Shiren clones outside of Spike Chunsoft. They seem to mostly be for Square Enix games though. I doubt it's gonna be anyone else than Spike Chunsoft really.

Matrix has worked on a ton of stuff over the years, including recently Billion Road. They're pretty diverse and I doubt something like Omega Labyrinth would really prevent Nintendo from contracting them.
That said I doubt Nintendo would for PMD. They'll want the core team at Chunsoft.

lack of nonary game surprised me since 999 and vlr were both on 3ds. the lack of a 3ds or switch version really doesn't make any sense. i think that decision had more to do with resources/planning that any support to sony, especially with uchikoshi's next thing coming to switch.
if i was in charge of spike chunsoft's us branch, i would have begged for a danganronpa port to swtich. getting that out in 2018 would have guaranteed a solid year financially that could have beefed up marketing campaigns for zanki zero and steins;gate elite. digital sales would have still been strong in 2019 so stuff like yu-no wouldn't be such a resource vampire either.
I'm talking about original releases in Japan, so compared to the PSV version of Ys VIII in Japan. I'm not comparing one platform vs 4 lol
Is mainly that they are Quality games, no one else makes their types of games and they don't pump out sequels quickly
I gave you or Oregano 10 minutes before your post!
But yes- I'll freely concede this is an example in your favor.
I would still bet on Tales coming though
Haha sorry I don't really mean to gloat (especially since I wanted it on the damn console) but it was very interesting in that DBZ was kind of the franchise that would prove it one way or another.
But I agree that Tales will probably be on Switch, but if they're going full UE4, then the odds aren't really in its favor.
I'm sure Xenoverse 2 and FighterZ did well too so you never know.
You'd think by now that fans would have learned not to make assumptions when it comes to Nintendo platforms and third parties.
