I mean I really don't know where MH is headed but I just don't see Sony forking so much money for an exclusive that isn't really going to move hardware much (due to being on a console). Especially since Sony's focus isn't really on Japan lately.

 

[Sandfox]

Well there's the 3DS "price drop".

 

[KtSlime]

The new MonHun will be on the New 2DS LL, cap com knows what's up...

I figured that was the case for it being a console game. I do think it would be a big gamble to spend that much to get it exclusive but I wonder if Sony would be willing to make that gamble.

It's not a gamble that just Sony would take but Capcom as well. While you could argue that SFV horrendous sales could be attributed to its lack of content and horrible launch, it shows that PS4 exclusivity wouldn't grant them instant sales number despite the console being sold like hotcakes worldwide. The further thing about Monster Hunter is that the game fanbase already too cemented on portable platform at this point after six handheld released consecutively (excluding MH3G HD, which basically just a HD port).

 

[hiska-kun]

Media Create Top 50 is up.

Disgaea 5 is up two places, in the 47 position (last week 49), despite still being sold at full price.
Switch third party support is redeemed thanks to this game's performance. Embrace the news!

[Mr. Pointy]

Yeah no one cares about MH5. What platform is Yo-Kai Watch 4 coming out on?

 

[hiska-kun]

New 2DS XL releasing on July 13th for ¥14,980. This is the same day Snack World, Hey Pikmin and Ever Oasis are releasing. Now we know why all games were releasing the same date.

Guess, thats why Nintendo is being optimistic with their 3DS forecast there.^^

It is dead Jim.^^

 

[Ōkami]

They didn't announced any kind of bundles, though maybe they'll save one for later, there's a huge game launching just 2 weeks later.

Would be a good time to launch for Happy Price Selection games too.

Also with that the 3DS is the console with the most iterations, and by a lot.

More like, it's a failsafe measure in the case of Switch flopping. When Switch gain success as it is now, the 2DS XL plan is already in motion and it's better to continue than cancel it. I don't particularly optimistic with 2DS XL performance. Looks like the last hurrah for 3DS that meant for people who haven't joined to the party in the past 6 years.

Also remember a lot people's 3ds are old now and many will be breaking, gives them a cheaper replacement option if they want to play their collection

I don't see it as failsafe at all here. I mean, no matter how hard NIntendo do, i can't see 3DS maybe doing as well as before till 2018. Switch is a must success by Nintendo there.

I feel this hardware is just liked the GB Micro iteration there.^^

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

That's still really funny impressive for a full priced Bomberman in 2017(in a month no less)

 

[foxuzamaki]

Mn, what were capcom and namco smoking at switch launch

 

[Sterok]

This is going to be the best July ever. More than it already was.

 

[cheesekao]

So why exactly are people so quick to discount the possibility of SF2 doing well?

 

[Mory Dunz]

SFII will be big

Spoiler

not

 

[frankie_baby]

So why exactly are people so quick to discount the possibility of SF2 doing well?

Because they are too busy thinking "lol, old game" instead of "cool, good game"

 

[Alrus]

So why exactly are people so quick to discount the possibility of SF2 doing well?

Very expensive port of an old game. Also the fighting genre has sunk a lot in Japan. Of course it all depend what you consider "doing well" for SF2 is.

 

[casiopao]

So why exactly are people so quick to discount the possibility of SF2 doing well?

Old game with crazy pricing? If they release it on 20 bucks i can see it make gang busters there. But at the current price, it is going to be hard sells.(I would laugh like crazy though if it did comparatively well to SFV in Japan lol.^^)

Let's make one thing very clear.

Nintendo doesn't have to fight for Monster Hunter.

It's Capcom's best interest to have Monster Hunter 5 on Switch.

This is not fanboy drivel. It's reality.

Tbh Switch doesn't need Monster Hunter that much to be successful, but the series would be fucked if it's a ps4 exclusive series

 

[ZSaberLink]

SFV sold 100K (85K retail, 15K digital). Even given how bad that is for SFV, are people really expecting USF2 to sell 100K?

 

[Branduil]

Well there's the 3DS "price drop".

Yeah, I'm actually thinking they might just eventually discontinue the N3DS models, rather than price drop them. 3D screens are probably still relatively expensive, so this gives Nintendo a high-end model that's still high margin.

 

[casiopao]

We live in a crazy world, anything can happen lol.

Considering we also living in a world where Bomberman R can do 500k in a month.... i kinda agree with u lol.^^

Tbh Switch doesn't need Monster Hunter that much to be successful, but the series would be fucked if it's a ps4 exclusive series

U mean MH is the one who need Switch rather than Switch needing MH now?^^

nope

nope

I agree lol. I would said, reaching 60k would be a huge achievement for SF2 there lol.

Tried asking friend who have Capcom connection, but he ran away.

 

[Passose]

In my opinion, yes.

But btw, HZD sales is pretty impressive for a Sony western first party release. I know they had to marketing the shit out of it but still

I'm not a big fan of this change. I occasionally get Fridays off, and that means I am stuck waiting for Yamato or JP to get around to delivering my game all day. If it was Thursday, then I would get home and be pleasantly surprised!

 

[madstarr12]

So with the New 2DS LL/XL, the 3DS will possibly be down only slightly from last year? Neat! The 3DS lives on, and that's a good thing! Switch will be fine being the portable Home Console, while 3DS continues to be the only dedicated Handheld device in the market that's relevant.
