Wow geeee, I wouldn't have guessed that the Switch would blow up quicker. Also no one can predict the impact MHW will have on PS4's sales over there. MHXX didn't do so well and the next "Portable" line of MonHun is a good 2 years away. For the time being MonHun is a PS4 exclusive in japan.

In Japan, Sega Saturn sold more than Nintendo 64. It means nothing.

>>388961320

So then why don't their games sell over there?

>>388961140

Not on Switch. Technically and economically impossible. It will sell double on Japan than the Switch's best seller.

Okay.
>>388961712

That is wrong. Nothing about MHW looks to technologically advanced that it wouldn't even be able to run on the Switch. The game doesn't even look that graphics heavy. Capcom could probably just downgrade the games particle effects and have it run on the switch just fine. Maybe they downgrade the graphics a bit as well.
>It will sell double on Japan than the Switch's best seller.
People said this about Dragon Quest 11 on the PS4 outselling the 3DS version but that didn't happen. Not only that but the PS4 version hasn't even cracked 1.5 million copies sold yet and it's been over a month since release. meanwhile, Splatoon 2 outsold it last week and will probably Continue to have better legs for the near future. I could see Splatoon 2 outselling it for total sales over there.

>>388961016
There are dozens of MH games and the switch will get a new one.
The switch has something the PS4 will never have though. A game directed by Suda 51.

>>388962112
But the PS4 has a game executive directed by Suda 51.

It's like you agree with me that is not possible unless making it look last gen.

>>388962226

Go to the reddit thread on r games. It's gold how people keep on saying the Switch has games and then hundreds come out of Sony's woodworks to basically deny things that already exist.

They have a serious hateboner whenever Nintendo does alright, it's beautiful to see them get so twisted about this.

PS4 world wide sales = 63.3 mill

Switch world wide sales = 4.7 mill

I don't think Sony fans are worried. Also Sony has a strong track record with home consoles. The PS2 and PS1 are the top two best selling home consoles, at 155 mill and 102.4 mill.

The switch will do well as the years go on no doubt, I predict the switch making it to the 80 mill mark. But so will the PS4. It'll be about even by the end of the generation I think.

How is Rabbids bias aside? the gameplay looked surprisingly okay and I might pick it up at some point if it is good.

It will be lucky to even get to 3DS numbers with how the market is going, I doubt the PS4 will even get more units sold than the PS3 unless they really manage to not fuck up.
Fact is the industry as a whole has changed and has significantly slowed down, this affects everyone, but /v/ is too busy defending their corporate overlords to see this.

>>388964137
How will it be close to even?
The PS4 is so far ahead and has so many more games, I don't think so. On top of the Switch not even keeping momentum nor pacing near what the PS4 was. More devs are skipping over Nintendo already, DQ and Monster Hunter are huge.

Why the fuck is nintendo the only company allowed to release a console with no games?

Not with the higher price point and less developer support. The 3DS also had MH as an exclusive announced pretty early.

>>388964943
It barely looks better than Super MArio Odyssey. It's extremely unaturated and almost everything outside of character and monsters is low poly.

Sony-only guys are weird, man. Besides the PS3, PlayStation has been in a pretty good position since it came to the industry, but arch-Sony guys are really sensitive about their favourite corporation potentially losing market share, especially to Nintendo.

>>388966841
Sony is literally the majority of gaming right now, while also including multiplats. I'm confused how you associate Sony users with specifics when they are a wide range of users.

The Switch is super niche in comparison and a loud minority.

>>388959542
Actually, I am curious why PS4 number are so low in japan. Is it just that it's not japanese enough anymore or is the price too high? Also, ashcroft needs to re-read his articles before he publishes.

Japan is Nintendo land. It's surprising how long it took the PS4 to even outsell the Wii U in Japan.

Why do Nintendogs still act like Nintendo is on the same level with Sony and MS? Nintendo is a fucking dwarf compared to them. They always make some gimmick dogshit because they also know they can NOT compete on the same level. Just accept this already.

>>388967559
>MS
who?

>>388966280
I think you forgot about the PS2 and PS3. Those consoles also had shit launch titles. Oooo Smugglers Run wow what a great game.

>>388967312
Doesn't that suggest everything nintendo makes is a heavy hitter on name brand alone?

>>388967382
Doesn't this suggest the jp market is depressingly small?

>>388967559
They're not. They will always be a secondary brand to Sony or MS.

>>388966412
All those exclusive games that won't sell very well. Exclusives don't mean anything if people aren't buying them in large numbers.

>>388967842
Ah true I forgot that /v/ don't play video games, so quality doesn't really matter.

>>388967785
>Doesn't this suggest the jp market is depressingly small?
It is. But I'd say that the 3DS was hard carried by the Japanese market. 20+ million of its sales came from Japan.

Still, surprising that Nintendo consoles don't get that much of Japanese support. Like, Japanese developers would rather make a game for PS4 and try to attract a Western audience. Instead of making a game for the Switch or Nintendo systems, which reign supreme in Japan.

Exclusives don't even reach half the numbers that third party games like Call of Duty, EA sports games, and every other shit. Horizon sold like shit compared to third parties. I think the Wii, was the only console that hard first party games breaking 10+ million units sold. And Mario Kart Wii reaching 25+ units sold, which is fucking insane.

But Exclusives are meant to attract people to the hardware, more than anything.

>>388968119
Thanks to normieshit

I kinda want a Switch, but why do the Joy-Cons have to be so fucking shitty? Their design is awful. No actual dpad and the analog sticks are either directly above or below the buttons instead of offset like any other controller. Tried one at PAX last year and I just couldn't get over that shit

>>388959542
>switch selling
>still no third party support

why is that?

>>388968034
Japan may be culturally insular, but economically they are not, nor can they be. Still, this concept is why I'm surprised that there aren't more sales for PS4, casuals tend to go with the flow, so I would think that would mean PS4. Obviously the portable market has a lot more mind share there, but switch isn't all that portable (I mean to say it's a bit of a hassle to carry around), especially in comparison to the mobiles, which seems to be growing rapidly. And that would seem to present the question why buy a handheld when you have a mobile to waste time on and the console can deliver what the mobile can't? That is to say, the way I see it, it's the handheld that's getting replaced by mobile, but it's the console that's diminishing. Which further adds to the curiosity of PS4 sales being so low. Nintendo brand presence is that strong?

>>388968853
Because selling "4m" is nothing special
Because its underpowered
Because third party games dont sell on nintendo hardware
Because third party devs already have their audiance on other plattforms

>>388962698
please only post low-res webms, you're making the game look like shit

>>388968853
Because no one wants to lose time and money developping a specific version of their game for the switch hardware when the rest of the machines all pretty much work like PC's

>>388964137
The switch came out 65% through the generation and is weaker than the PS4/XBONE. By the time this generation "ends", which would be 2 years or so, the switch would need to sell 59m units, or 29.5m units by the end of 2019.

Maybe if it was selling 9-10m on average, it would probably manage to eke out equal numbers. You'll have to see how it does in Holiday sales.
