Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
It's crazy to think the only thing keeping the switch from blowing past 3DS sales in a similar amount of time is stock issues.

Maybe the reason they can't supply/manufacture enough units is because the yields on the SoC are crap?

Definitely some manufacturing problem. SW LTD must be 3.5-4 million and there are shortages for this demand (280k US, around 200k Japan). Didn't someone say the screen plant went into trouble?

Hirokazu Hamamura, the former editor-in-chief at Weekly Famitsu and now president of the parent company Enterbrain and director of the Kadokawa Group responded to a Forbes Japan article and tweeted ”I think the product shortage [of Nintendo Switch] will continue until the end of this year".

Someone should have told Hirokazu Hamamura that the meme is over. Plenty on Amazon.

If Hamamura gave its forecast for Switch YTD it would be easier to judge its a prediction.

As it looks now we have at least 2 months of shortage until Splatoon 2.

Now that the meme is over I guess Capcom has no choice but to release Monster Hunter 5 on PS4 barring some sort of heat wave.

Complaining about the few troll/missinformed posts just to follow up with a barrage of passive-agressive and snarky comments leads to a healthy thread indeed.

Looks like Hiska was on point, software weekly previews will generally give us a ballpark on what hardware to expect for the Switch. MK/Zelda are definitely ceiling-limited by available hardware week to week, it seems.

Well I be damn he's been here for ages!
Anyway since it's a Mario game it'll do 100k plus lifetime

Somewhere in those ~7000 Japanese immersive sim fans has to be a (wannabe?) game developer who eventually makes a fantastic immersive sim from a very different perspective on the ones we've seen so far.

Well. I can dream anyway, Deus Ex & Dishonored did a little better IIRC as well.

I guess the Vita's getting another rpg in its future then? The one by the El Shaddai devs (PS4 and Vita). Seems bigger than a VN or something right?

Obviously, there will be new shipments, but not announced yet. They usually announce them on Thursday and do the lottery on Saturdays or Sundays. Maybe, at the end of the day, they could post some info outside.

I remember there was a website that compiled japanese sales data from years and years, divided by platforms, publishers, etc. Does anyone have that website handy?

They should've replaced Yoshimitsu with Pikachu as apparently everyone's expecting Tekken 7 to sell less than Pokken.

Its going to be a drop from Tekken 6, but not that severe.

Glad BotW is still showing amazing legs. Sucks that we have to potentially wait till ARMS to see if an increase in hardware sales will still positively affect launch software.

Dragon Quest Rivals looks amazing.

I wonder how many units need to sell to make a release worth it?
Click to expand...

Considering it is just Rom Re-Release, i don't see it needing tons of money lol. Hell, i think even 10k should bring enough profit for S-E.

FWIW it topped the charts on Amazon for a few days when it was first announced, yeah the shipment probably ain't big but it's probably bigger than some of the small ones
Click to expand...

I don't really rate Amazon ranking there lol. As those number is usually unreliable. I mean, USF2 also get top Amazon Ranking if i am not mistaken before. And i can't see it doing super well lol.
