that's what i thought would happen. in hindsight it makes sense it failed (for various reasons), but yes i do think its central gimmick should have appealed to japanese consumers. of course, it's a moot point now, since switch has essentially perfected what the wii u tried to do.
Honestly total war deserves it's success
the latest games don't seem to have a JP translation, so I would say not too popular?
Thats a shame I imagine a shogun 3 could do pretty well for itself in japan.
Building relationships with studios and cultivating a fanbase for an IP on your platform takes time, and Microsoft aims for the shortest and quickest route possible.
Yeah there are indies in japan but you could probably count the amount of successful and sustainable one on 2 hands
I guess marvelous is the smallest studio that has well known franchises, anything smaller doesn't have enough irreconcilability.
Harada, sure. With Nagoshi, it's moreso a case of Sony helping turn his Yakuza pet project into a relatively successful global franchise over a decade of investment. I see Yakuza as Sega's version of Pikmin - something they let Nagoshi do as a reward after he proved his worth with other games. His career was built in the arcades and probably peaked with Daytona USA.
Yes, Daytona USA is probably his biggest achievement.
Mary Skelter Finale so low, I wish it did better. At least the second one did well on the West, so Finale should do well too.
How long do you think the craze will last? I feel like come January we'll just be shitting on Sony/PS5 for a looong while
There's nothing to really talk about with the PS5 outside of launch sales and we have no idea how Sony will be handling stock in Japan. There's no notable games dated for Japan.
That Shadowverse ranking would probably suggest something 20k-30k, right (assuming Tsutaya represents the final order, of course)? Seems like the expected debut.

Nominally speaking the second stage fares better than the first one because they dont have to render the grass, but I haven't paid attention to if this is better than the demo's second stage.

I really like their exclusive strategy. More is on the way for sure (there is a rumored The Wold Ends With You sequel) and I hope they go even further and make exclusive Final Fantasy and Kingdom Heart games.
Yeah it might be but I think the base system will be the Switch for that game.
the original leaker on era mentioned it launching on switch and coming to other platform(s) later. could be something like octopath or dq11s.

"Would the world end with you all if someone were to directly leak something in this thread? It can wait until next year if that's the case, and it's not like it only would be relevant to just this console eventually anyway."
Sounds very low, but do we have something to contextualise just how low? Like, would this be 20k low or more like 5k low?PS5 lotteries in Edion stores start today until the 11th.
They have 800 units of the normal model, and 80 units of the digital model.

Makes sense to me. Use the price as a marketing point, low production run for it anyways, but keep the possibility of the cheap price in the lead up to release. You take less loss on a loss leading SKU.
