That's just the western announcement, I'm fairly it just released in Japan.
Compile Heart is keeping their true killer app, a rerererelease of the first Neptunia, for PS5
I had no idea this released in Japan already, so I presume it didn't set the charts on fire
Switch has become the ultimate successor to the Vita lol.
Although it's been like that for a long while.
Just released. Its in the upcoming week. It was 9th this week on COMG.
You will see it on the next thread.

Media Create Sales: Week 37, 2020 (Sep 07 - Sep 13) Sales
It's curious that both WiiU and PS4 did roughly the same opening numbers. Were they both supply constrained?

I was thinking how if Microsoft somehow did buy Sega, aside from timely PC releases, it would ironically increase the chances of yakuza and persona on Switch.
This would be the majority of publishers and developers these days because of the market share of PS4 vs. XB1, no? (Excepting PC-centric developers like, say, CDPR or id Software, although those still sell more units on PlayStation compared to Xbox most likely.)
Pretty much, especially domestically. They could make an offer to individual independent visual novel studio with a built in fanbase and build their way up.
This will probably never happen, but both this thread and the Zenimax purchase is now making me entertain the thought of people like Harada and Nagoshi just offering up their companies (Falcom, Bandai Namco, etc.) for Sony to purchase. Could say it's all for the sake of the Big Western Push, but also because of the bias.
Again, this will never happen (Sega Bandai-Namco is more likely though that's still extremely unlikely), but it would be a complete meme if it did. xD
Goddamnit, Microsoft. You really opened up those floodgates. Just as Monster Hunter Switch finally stopped being a meme. xD

90% of merges and acquisitions of Japanese gaming companies have happened when they had financial problems. They need the approval of Japanese government and the possibility of a western company involved makes it even more difficult.
Even if Nintendo or Sony were ready to cut a check for Bandai Namco it's unlikely they would proceed due to Japanese anti trust laws.

Nintendo is actually the one with money tied up in Japanese third parties. I knew about the stakes in Bandai Namco and Kadokawa Dwango but someone pointed out today(and linked to Nintendo annual report) that Nintendo also has minority stakes in Square Enix, Konami and Koei Tecmo.
NIS was in financial trouble a year or two ago, but I'm not sure that's still the case. The only somewhat valuable franchise they have is Disgaea, so I doubt see anyone wanting them either.
NIS is smaller than L5, but it's not like they're Falcom.
This is true.
Even cdpr games sold 3:1 ratio on ps4 (11 mil to 4 mil) I think
Money talk most places though
Conspiracy and acquisitions :b
Unless the 🐸 returns
Yeah, and DeNA. Cygames is privately held between Cyberagent, Nintendo and DeNA though. The others are publicly traded.
Weird note is that THIS of all things gets a legit retail release in NA (and EU?). Super Neptunia RPG was their only western retail release on Switch. The rest were held hostage by Limited Run. Hopefully this is a sign of that changing.
The mobile game is pretty popular in NA, but the game is banned on here, so just by going on here one wouldn't know.
It's probably their biggest seller, it's based on a bigger IP than anything else IF does.
Any idea on the amounts in each company Nintendo has?
Also yeah, NIS feels primed for a Nintendo buyout, especially with Disgaea 6 being Switch exclusive in the west. Likely the most unheard of thing a gen ago.
I mean is Crosswave a bigger seller than their golden goose Neptunia? Even VII on Switch was digital-only worldwide.
Very tiny amounts. 1.75% of Bandai Namco for instance.
I don't think there's any chance Nintendo is interested in buying NIS, and one regional exclusive definitely isn't a sign of that.
I think, additionally, Switch provides smaller Xbox Studios development teams a good opportunity to work on their optimization of their titles. Cuphead saw a drastic decrease on all platforms as a product of Switch development, and Ori on Switch (at least the first title) is basically on par for the Xbox One version.
It also gives Xbox Studios the opportunity to get a little bit of cashflow from the Japanese market that isn't just more Minecraft.
Got a bunch of December games dated now, including Brigandine for PS4, Earth Defence Force World Brothers for PS4/Switch and of course the first big PS5 exclusive - Go! Go! 5 Jigen Game Neptune: re★Verse coming December 17!
Behold the power of the PS5

Do we know what companies could be in financial trouble?
Is there anyone who likes to report on these things? Someone with inside information? Like a Twitter account I could follow?
Bye sega :(
damn
I've been there three times, it will be a pity to not seeing it again next time...an icon desappearing, for a Western videogame lover
Not surprising, it's a voucher title.

I suspect lots of people will use their second voucher for SM3DW. That's 7 218 Yen + 6 578 Yen, so 3 816 Yen saved.
A remake of a port of a remake of a ps3 game. I can't get over it, like PS6 will probably get a remake of this game's port to stadia.Got a bunch of December games dated now, including Brigandine for PS4, Earth Defence Force World Brothers for PS4/Switch and of course the first big PS5 exclusive - Go!

Tales of Arise also got rated in Australia a while back...so I wouldn't put much stock in it yet.
Bye sega :(
Lmao why did I just notice that Ryza 2 ad.
Gust is really going hard in attracting that crowd that's for sure.
True, also I remember Codename STEAM being rated before it was announced lol
Also saw this Gaijinhunter tweet
I assume Nintendo may operate differently compared to Bandai Namco in terms of time / methods for requesting ratings to certification boards (Tales of Arise' Australian rating happened after the delay announcement, btw). But yeah, I would still assume that the game has been delayed to early 2021. A December release would be a positive surprise at this point though.
low stock or high demand? somewhere in the middle I guess :p
I was about to say that too ... that's one Ryza 2 ad. And i don't really mean that in a positive way.
