Curious to learn more about it. Hopefully it's more Yokai Watch or Fantasy Life than Snack World.

The Nvidia Shield Portable and Tablet use the Tegra K1, the set top box and Switch use the X1.

no, this doesn't use the x1.
The Tegra 4 (and K1 variant) is from 2012. X1 is from 2014 and used in the shield console.

"We will focus on it once IE Ares is released. We will also work on Ushio at the same time."
I think the game is going to straight up be unappealing to kids. They don't care about Go Nagai mecha.
To be fair, there was one with the X1, but it was canceled at the last minute
I don't think a new mecha game/anime series will catch on with the mainstream of kids today, but I'm out of touch with the Japanese market. I hope Level-5 did their research and it's not just some childhood dream Hino always wanted to make.
Yes, Loki was presumably shelved late term when Nvidia got the NX deal. There are even test units out there in the wild, it was very close to releasing in 2016.
Is Mecha just not that popular anymore? Or is it just that the few popular series have a stranglehold on the market?
Pretty surprising too considering how many Atelier games they have been releasing for years. This is the second mainline game in 2019 after all.
Mecha, apart from the big giants, are pretty niche and aimed at otaku. Not a genre usually associated with the kids audience in recent years.
There is the Shinkalion anime I think that is somewhat popular, but apart from that I don't know any kid mecha show.
Tokusatsu are still popular with kids however, maybe they can aim at that audience?

The last new mecha series to really catch on was Code Geass. Other than that it's just UC Gundam, which kids most certainly aren't watching.
L5 themselves tried Gundam Age and it was a flop.
They absolutely nailed Ryza's character design for otaku interests. Her scale figure (which is overpriced as hell as far as similar scale figures go) is near the top of the charts when it comes to pre-orders as well.
EDIT: Though it looks like the PS4 version on Amazon just got restocked, so I'd imagine other retailers should be receiving more stock very soon if not already.

They'll produce and sell PS4 as long as people want them. They did it with PS2 and PS3. So it'll depend of the customers, not Sony. They make money on games and services, not hardware.
And PS2 and PS3 (in the beginning) where both BC with their predecessors so PS4 BC on PS5 won't make a difference.
Total shipment is between 66049 and 75630 based on shipment info given by Famitsu this week and last week.
I don't agree. Sony made bank digitally off so called casuals on fortnite.
How will they convince people in the market for a super cheap ps4 to buy an expensive ps5 when the ps4 will have most ps5 games for at least 2 years.
With digital, services and MTX selling a ps4 will be much more profitable then selling the ps1/2/3 was post gen. It will be important to increase the Playstation eco system across developing markets, particularly in Asia.
It's about 320k ahead of the ps3 and in 10 weeks will probably be 500k+ ahead. From the day it launched until the ps5 launches the ps4 will have sold faster then the ps3. Growth for Sony in the dedicated home console market.
Loves that spin.
I don't think we can compare software properly. Games data library has the issue of before 2013 the total software relies on the top # lists, and so misses a lot of software.
PS2 was outselling PS3 because it was a sub 80$ system and that ensured its longer lifespan once the successor came out
When the PS4 came out PS3 sales cratered because they were never able to mass prodice it for cheap. It remained a 199$ system with episodic 150-180$ flash sales.
If Sony could permanently lower the PS4's price to impulse buy levels to breath new life into it, they would have done so a long time ago. As it stands the cost reduction mesures have reached their limit.
There's a reason Sony did a Pro model to make the base PS4 more attractive rather than a slimed down version

Wow, are those Famitsu stats correct? PS4 is 10 million units ahead in terms of software when comparing through calendar years 2010 for PS3 and through calendar years 2018 for PS4?
EDIT: No, that can't be right. PS3 and PS4 had different release months in Japan right? So there must be some more manipulation involved for a proper comparison.

You should be comparing 2011 to 2018 seeing as PS3 launched in November 2006 and PS4 launched in February 2014.

It wouldn't be a proper comparison anyway without digital sales.
Used sales still speak on player engagement and potential microtransaction and DLC buyers so yes they are even more relevant nowadays than they used to be.
Sorry. That's a good question and I'd like to see the answer.
I misread his post.
How about digital revenue? Psn more profitable with ps4 or ps3?
In this generation, there also seems to be a lot more smaller/indie/digital only games as well. The PS4 has over 2000 games and the Switch is getting close to 2000 games as well. I'm not sure how many of these are released in Japan though, but i assume that theres a lot of them. While many of them arent big sellers, i think they all add up to a noticeable number if we're mainly talking about number of games sold.
EDIT: Yeah, i see his reply above here now.
Thanks. Now that you mention it, i mean to remember some talk about that indeed. I looked it up, and it seems that Apple claimed "Xbox One class" graphics. I guess that gives some room for interpretation. But a SoC with such power for an afforable price in about 3 years might be quite likely.
I wonder why it took a bit longer to restock the PS4 version. Doesnt they usually get restocked relatively quickly? The Switch version is still set for October 23. It might arrive sooner though. The PS4 version was set for Octorber 13 at first, but is restocked now as you mention.
To be fair, he probably just read the last sentence as comparing the systems themself (hardware).
EDIT: Yeah, i see his reply above here now.

That seems like a good start for Tsum Tsum. Switch has shown there's a good audience for party games between SMP and 1-2 Switch so maybe this could be a surprise hit.
Tsum Tsum is not the type of game that sells a lot out of the gate. It won't do big numbers overall but during holidays it might have something to say.
