My prediction is the usual with Switch AAA games: high expectations, retail sales being weaponized as underperforming for some cheap console war, PR including digital coming a few days later with monster numbers.
Which is why next year's Call of Duty will come on Switch as a cloud game: Activision's stinginess with additional resources + filesize issues solved with one move. Best version of the game by default!
Honestly, I can see Activision being among the publishers / developers jumping on the Switch cloud train
I currently don't see any dated game able to do it. We'll have to wait but that's sadly at least a 3 months gap
I'll buy it at full price even. The first 2 KH games are worth my money
If every developer supports the ps5 there will still be no growth for sony, rather decline for every non-nintendo ip.
The hardware itself is just undesirable for the most part.
Momotaro being underrepresented in preorders could lead to a 250k+ opening. If that doesn't wake up Harada I don't know what will.
Edit: It might even challenge DQXI S for biggest tird party launch on Switch.
Switch:
FFX/X-2 HD 14GB
FFXII: The Zodiac Age 12.7GB
Is the former right? Seems way too small. It's from Nintendo's site.
FFX came with a code for X-2. I think Japan got the full games on cart?
Yeah, its true that those games are smaller sellers compared to some of the mainline numbered games, indeed.
Fair enough :) About the other titles, dont you think that is just due to some partnership? Which can happen the other way around as well (then i'm more generally speaking, not just about Square Enix. Games that comes to Nintendo platforms, but not to Playstation). If thats what you mean, i agree that this is a possiblity, for sure.
I thought you first meant more in the direction of not wanting to upset a platform holder in case that it would affect future deals/partnership, so i was thinking a bit more in that direction in my previous post :) And i'm not sure if Square Enix thinks too much about possibly upsetting a partner like Sony. They have done some things that could have upset Sony, like Final Fantasy 13 being multiplatform with Xbox 360, and supporting the 3DS quite a bit more compared to the Vita (which all makes business sense, in my opinion), but they still seem to have a good relationship with all the platform holders :) At least i get the impression that they are.
Hehe, Microsoft did manage to get FF13 and FF15 for Xbox on the same day, so its not impossible :) But that said, yeah, its probably a slim chance for that happening anytime soon, i agree, mostly due to Square Enix seems to have a stronger partnership with Sony here (FF7 Remake is still only for PS4, and FF16 will be exclusive for PS5 for a while), and maybe a bit due to the technical gap (the game might be able to scale though).

Yeah but the page has a digital purchase option. And it was South East Asia that got the whooping 32GB full pack IIRC.
The american eShop lists FFX/X2- as 26.9GB.
EDIT: Already mentioned above =)
It looks like SE isn't pushing XVI's visuals as hard as you'd expect from a mainline FF. If the Switch gets new hardware in the next 12-18 months that's the best chance they'll have at a mainline FF game in decades. I believe it's PS5 exclusivity is only 6 months.
Thanks! :) Odd that the website page differed. Oh well.
I think it was meant to be cross gen but even if Nintendo brought out Switch 2.0 with state of the art hardware for a hybrid it would still not come to the system because the install base would be starting at zero again.
OP
OP
Possibility Square porting XVI only to a potential Switch Pro ignoring older models is smaller than developing a new Final Fantasy exclusively for Switch.
Realistically, I could see the FFXIII trilogy launching next year
So releasing a better product than the previous one? Sounds good to me
I've actually never played Super Mario Sunshine lol
Yeah, i see it on Nintendo's website now. It says "Game File Size: 14GB", but in the description of the game it says " Full game installation size: 26.9GB". Maybe they 14GB is referring to the cart version, but i'm not sure :) Or perhaps the 14GB is referring to FFX alone (while 26.9GB is for FFX + FFX-2 combined).
It always takes more than a year for the Japanese development scene to ramp up proper support for a new system.
What do you mean? I don't think there is a comparable - what other high profile 3rd party exclusive is on the Switch?
Let's be real, they could get away with releasing everything but 2.8 individually.
Fair. Not every game has the sales potential of The Last Remnant PS3.
Is this the first time animal crossing has been out of the top 10?Tsutaya's Rankings are out:
it also seems like spider man did better on the ps4.
In the Capcom leak. Also Great Ace Attorney 1 & 2 for Switch/PS4.
Capcom just RE4'd Rise. Except this time it wasn't their PR, it was their IT.
MH Rise on PC puts 10M+ easily in the cards. MHW was huge on PC, doesn't make sense to abandon that audience.
Without PC 10mil was going to happen with PC im going to say 18mil+.
Probably less than 1% of actual consumers. We live in a bubble in this part of the internet where we are more aware of small minute details that the average consumer won't know or care about.
I'm not direct linking to stolen materials but you can find reddit/twitter threads easily by googling.
Probably not many. Don't expect an Iceborne repeat here, people prefer using Switch for it's versatility and convenience while PS4/XBO don't really do much PC can't but better.

I'm wondering the same thing, but if that schedule chart is to be believed, then it will be a 7 month delay similar to MHW. So presumably similar effect as MHW PC on MHW Console?
Yeah, hopefully they do crossplay. Would be silly not to as the game isn't exactly a competitive title.
Idk, if they implement crossplay my interest will be up from "might pick up after I burn out on World" to "absolute must buy"
My wife will game on Switch but not PC. With crossplay I wouldn't hesitate to grab a PC copy and a Switch copy.
I think Rise getting a PC release down the line was always on the cards - dont think its gonna effect the Switch performance all that much all things considered. It being leaked early doent help but the people that wanna play MH Rise early and on Switch are still gonna show up.
