You know why I'm here
I'm not including the predictions from now on, but rest assured, I saved them to my PC already. When we hit 2100 I'll post them!
P.S. パワーファイアフラワー

Very small drop. Even more people knwo about the KING and are buying it in droves. Remember to take a look at its sales when Switch lite launches, they will be bonkers.Better Tracker said:

I was about to edit again and ask if the Yokai Watch 1 port on Switch or this does better. I would put my money on YW4 PS4... but both seem like desperation moves.
who knows. also good luck to west, the show has been canned. disney xd hasn't even aired anything new anymore
eh why not.
they might as well.
how would it be a bad strategy anyway
Now that is hyperbole. It won't bomb that badly.
Although apparently DMC 1 sold enough to justify 2 so...
Worldwide? DMC2 will vastly outsell a PS4 version of YW4. No one asked for this
How many people do you expect to buy DMC2? Even if this went as low as 50k in Japan, I still feel like that would still be more than the people buying DMC2.
Yeah that's true as well. It's probably not going to sell well but I guess, as you said, why not?
I can't imagine a worse combination.
A studio that can only make multimedia products that last 2~3 years and are all aimed at the japanese market. And an american tech company with no real relevance in the japanese game market and no handheld device.
Well i don't think that Nintendo will want to publish these games for them outside Japan anymore, but not like the games sold well in the west anyway so who knows.
Considering they've ported zero of their current gen AAA games, not sure!
Yeah I'm not sure why this is bad. I dunno why the game wasn't multiplat to begin with. Late ports normally do ass I get that but this is gomna be localized so a PS4 version makes sense as well.
The backroom deal with Sony for the Asian market might be true. But it is also true that so far they are not porting any RE engine games to Switch, except via streaming. So Capcom hasn't found it worthwhile to port the RE engine to Switch. A new MH on Switch not using the RE engine would then either need to have new art assets created or use the up-rezzed assets from 3DS. And I just don't see that happening, not with the success they found with MHW.
Haha, oops. Please ignore me. I'll go hiding in a corner or something.
NBA 2K with 2K copies sold on Switch lol. Why do sports games open so low on Switch anyway? FIFA and Jikkyou come to mind. At least they have legs.

I would think this port is made for non japanese market in mind. YoKai Watch has seen decent success in Europe on 3DS so it makes sense for it to be on two popular platforms in Europe (Switch/PS4).
Not when the localized version arrives at the end of 2020 at the earliest, when Next gen arrives.
Eh, it's good. It will hold better than the average game and definitely get through the shipment.
When are we going to start the talks about the lack of Switch games on TGS and japanese third party support btw
Don't think next gen matters much when they're trying to sell it to kids. This isn't the audience to be early adopters of brand new consoles. It's a move that gives them a few extra sales in Europe.
If anything I would think this is the most Switch games we've seen from TGS time without looking at any lists.
But if nobody knows about your game, nobody is gonna buy it though.
After june of next year, all the marketing is going to be about next consoles and their games. Unless L5 gets a pretty good publisher, the game will be nonexistant to the public eye, including children, and that means less preorders and less retailers interested in allocating your game.
And if we go by L5 localization standards, end of 2020 is generous.
Everything about Yokai watch is a mess, not just this port.
That's what I was thinking. It's a shame they can't have Nintendo publish this with their kid game experience, but unless they want the PS4 version to go to waste they need someone else. Unless they pull a Dragon Quest and manage to split the publishers.
I do think it matters depending on how late the release is, the Yo-Kai watch games that came at the end of the 3DS life did pretty bad i think, and that's considering the Switch is only a kind of half succesor.
What noteworthy games? All the headliners seem to not be on it. Sakura Taisen, REsistance, FFVIIR, Yakuza 7, Death Stranding, DBZ Kakarot and even L5's big announcement is a PS4 port.
I know Level 5 is a mess and will botch it. Just saying that having a PS4 version for Europe always made sense for the game, they're just doing this in a weird way announcing it after the Switch version flopped and is full of problems that they haven't fixed yet. Besides the fact that we all know L5 is terrible at publishing games overseas by themselves.
I was referring to games actually announced at this time of the year, not stuff like FFVIIR and DBZ.
Fantasy Life 2 is the only L5 game that could sell 1 million copies worldwide and guess what, it's nowhere to be seen.
Done with that company.
Done with that company.
