I'm not so sure there aren't incentives driving P5 and SMTV exclusivity behind the scenes.
looking at Game Data Library, Z2 did 14K
I mean that comes down to if your expecting Etrian Odyssey to be multiplatform not because you'd first need evidence that they're willing to perform cross ecosystem development before we can ascertain whether this is true. I mean Catherine even went backwards in this regard.
I mean, we'll see. Before things were so different with 3DS and the "PS ecosystem" (3/V/4) that exclusives to each were sort of necessitated. That's changed now with PS4/Switch where multiplatform releases now make sense in a way they didn't last gen. I'm not so sure EO will follow the old mold again.
Almost never in Japan though. On the other hand Sony Japan did say how important Persona was to PlayStation recently...
Even if that were true, we are probably headed for another era of disparity beginning next year
I don't really think that means anything. Any first-party would say a successful third-party series is important to them. Sony is nowhere to be found in the Persona copyright or trademark. I suspect there's an informal agreement between the companies, but Atlus is slowly showing more and more interest in the Switch, so I don't think a port is impossible.
Nothing new for Dengeki, they forgot to add the sales of the new SKU that just came out.
Even Sony said they will focus on promoting triple A games. Mid tier to low budget games will stand no chance and they won't sell hardware either. Its better for mid tier developers to make Switch exclusives and focus on making them as best as they can be.
Kind of figured as much. Sigh. Any chance they're just tracking the new SKU separately or something?
The new SKU is more popular than older one since it is same price with 1 month NSO and other extras.
Not sure if the IP's you mentioned are representative of a hit product bombing. I even believe that Astral Chain did pretty well for a Platinum game. Its not like they put out hit game after hit game. The other 2 have clear reasons for their failure (even though I'm not sure where DxM sits at right now versus expectations).
People really wanted that game to fail for some reason.
new Platinum IP that's an exclusive. people still aren't over Bayo 2 it seems
is that based on nintendo's numbers (did they even give numbers?) or is that Famitsu's bullshit numbers?
If you think YW4 bombed on Switch wait until you see how it does on PS4.
Sorry for the off-topic, but... Try does look better than Revolution lol.
(Sorry couldn't find any good pics from Try that wasn't in a bad resolution or a bad gif in the middle of a reaction).
"some reason" being switch exclusive and weird standards.
damn, no YW4++ for PS4 at all
NSW - 13
PS4 - 7
Total: 332 (-273 WoW)
The reasons i've seen is that Nintendo expected more, and also based on that they dropped update support for the game faster than e.g Splatoon 2. So its not unknown reasons why people think so (as in being "some reason"). I'm not sure if Nintendo has commented much on ARMS' performance. The last update i see is at 2.1 million.
The thing is there's absolutely no source for "Nintendo expected more".
Releasing that game a month before Splatoon 2 must have helped its launch sales but it probably really hurt its longevity
Nintendo clearly has fans of both Platinum Games and Dragon Quest in high places.
