PSP wasnt a failure tho? it sold nearly 20 million in japan and like 75+million in total. Thats great for a Non-nintendo handheld
not even then. ps4 is an old platform by now, the gap is just going to keep widening. there's pretty much no way for it to catch up.
Except plenty of folk here have said that its sales are going to fall hard as soon as they come out and that there's nothing Nintendo has left to increase sales. Also being essentially the only handheld out there didn't help the 3DS be a huge a success
The number of people holding out for FF7R to buy a PS4 after FFXV, Monster Hunter, and DQXI are incredibly small. At best, you'll see a small bump for a bit but that's about it
That would absolutely hurt it. But I'd also imagine it was their earlier poor decisions catching up with them and that the Saturn may have been an unsalvageable system in those areas
I don't get your point? The Japanese Market strongly prefer handhelds and the Vita had immense competition with the 3DS which was a much better option with way more games and cheaper. So what? You are saying that when they have the choice between a much better supported and designed (for many people) handheld they will choose it? Okay?
Not sure about that man. Like I get your argument but I feel like PS4 has hit the ceiling on it's selling power. FF7 will definitely give it a bump but I doubt it will be anywhere near the bump that like say MH gave it. I think that time has past for the PS4 but I suppose we will see.
No because the Switch is 2 year old platform that hasn't had all of Nintendo's heavy hitters and no price drops or revisions. Going by how any successful system has sold, there are plenty who haven't gotten around to getting one. It hasn't hit anywhere close to its maximum. Whereas the PS4 is a 6 year old platform, so there has been plenty of time for the majority of folk to get into it, that has had the overwhelming majority of its heavy hitters come out by now, including several big JRPGs and Monster Hunter for Japan. Not even those games were able to significantly boost sales long term in Japan
I don't think anyone would disagree that the Mega Drive, Saturn, or Vita sold terribly in Japan. Why is it so difficult to accept? We can compare these systems to actual successful systems in Japan, it's very obvious they underperformed. This is not controversial or "hateful", lol.
way too many people. switch is just two years old, hadn't had any price cut, no revision, there's a whole audience that's interested in AC but not that interested in some of nintendo's other games, pokemon will be a massive system seller, etc. there's just no way to compare the sales potential of a 2 year platform and a 5 year old one when it comes to how much a big title would help with sales. pretty much everyone who's interested in ff7 already has a ps4.
No.
Yea actually ,i do think the genesis and saturn sold badly lol
Imagination? You can look at peoples post history you know, not the first time you've gone down the lazy Capcom route when it comes to Monster Hunter World not being on the Switch.
The two years headstart PS4 had matters
Proof? Or again talking out of your ass/equating what other people have said with me?
Yet they bought PSP despite it having vastly more immense competition from the DS which sold over 32 million in Japan.
both should be quite easy. wii (12.7M) shouldn't take long and PS2 (21.4M) is surely doable by the end of switch's life.
Lol Fam, I didn't attack the PS4. Calm down. Its sold incredibly well. My point was that there isn't much reason for FF7R to kickstart sales for the system in Japan when it's already done as well as it could have there. You probably didn't even read my whole post and just saw red at me daring to say the PS4 can't sell much more while ignoring the fact that I was speaking purely for Japan
Don't say that!
talent always wins has nothing to do with video games or console warring, it comes from pop stan culture.
Even if so, it seems to me that this lingo started proliferating in the MC threads after Talent Always Wins became a prominent poster there.
i wouldn't be so hopeful. 2022 is too late but i don't think they're ready to show the game yet. maybe next year?
PS4 doesn't have record selling pace. The Wii and especially DS sold much much faster.
