After the recent miss prediction by YSO, i had hard time believing them for this coming DQ release number lol.^_^
I can see both DQ doing below 1 mil actually their release week.
And, Switch is doomed lol.

Has it happened before that GamesMaya didn't get any Switch units allocated?

I expected DQXI 3DS preorders to accelerate leading up to release. It seems like a game that people will buy right around launch rather than months before like the PS4 version, due to the variation in audiences.

They are squids now.
The best diagram will be with genres. There you'll see entirely different markets that don't compete to each other.

Ehhh.. Switch software being better than PS4/Wii U is not exactly something worth praising here.Ōkami;244651818 said:
You had what? Mario, Zelda and now Splatoon releasing within the launch months on Switch. If the software wasn't selling despite these big names, then it would have been a disaster.
The first year for Switch looks pretty good so far in term of first party support so Nintendo does deserve some credit. Now all they need to do is announce Smash Bros. for Switch since I am desperately waiting for it.

Paint will still live on. It wont come installed with Windows, but its it will be available in the Windows Store
I dont think anyone said that they arent competing against eachother, only that handhelds have been more popular than consoles. Everything in the gaming business competes with eachother somehow.
If that's what you got from this thread then you lost all the fun.

I don't think he's necessarily praising the fact that Switch software sold better than PS4/Wii U software aligned, but that it was done in just 4.5 months. The real thing to beat is obviously 3DS software, and given the lineup and legs of previous titles, it's possible for the Switch to reach that as well. Of course it depends on how the stock situation ends up though.

I have to admit that i havnt followed the discussion that closely on this page, and there might be some disagreement regarding how much overlapping there are between different systems, but i'm sure that everyone agree that gaming as a whole competes for people time and money
GamesMaya is a single store and several weeks didn't have any restock.
Anecdotal last week was pointing to big restock. The problem was there were again some clueless posts and posters that turned white into black.
Alright, thanks for the info! No need to panic yet, then.
Are Flying pokemon super effective against Grounded pokemon?
Is the reverse of "PS4 reaching 5m shouldn't be praised" fun argument we just had yesterday?
That was a statement of a comparison more than anything...
Technically yes, because most ground pokemon learn rock moves.

Neat. Sounds like a global 2+M opening indeed.
3DS stock will likely have great legs too, especially by coming back during the holidays and so.
They really put all the stock for Splatoon 2 launch, I don't think it's that surprising tbh.
Persona Q 2 will most likely be announced next week :

Wonder if this will be the last Atlus 3DS project.
People weren't kidding about getting games out before the 3DS blast door closes.

On 3DS? Makes sense I guess (dat Etrian Odyssey gameplay) but disappointing.

Yeah saw your thread and thought that's a pretty funny coincidence lol.

The issue is lack of manfucaturers to fill demand. That wouldn't help.
Go lower and it will improve

Yes. 100%
Don't be silly, of course we will!
Based Sammy blessing us with more Nintendo spinoffs instead of main entries.
The last few pages we were discussing something else more important.
Another 3DS classic coming up

I just realized this will probably be the first spinoff to feature Persona 5 characters.
Maybe we'll get Persona 5 Dancing All Night on Switch later on.

Sega could theoretically put Persona characters in the next Sonic All-Star Racing game.
They started well, but since they stopped giving numbers, estimates only have it above 30m, monthly NPD numbers have gone back down since the 1S.....it looks worse than it did before imo.
You're weird?
I believe the Switch uses a single NAND chip, so it wouldn't help either way.

The 3DS is on a decline tho, even in Japan. I'm curious to see how well Deep Strange Journey will do, and we don't know how active 3DS owners will be playing on that device in a year. If Atlus want to futureproof themselves, they might want to make it a multiplatform title or just skip the 3DS altogether.
Also, if Persona Q2 includes only P4 and P5 characters, it would also make a lot of sense to make it for PlayStation.

Didn't stop them on the original PQ.
This is 150% a 3DS only title, most likely for Q1 2018. Don't raise your hopes.

Yeah, I expect it to be an Early 2018 game for 3DS, but I want to discuss whether that's the right business choice. I think we're in an interesting transitioning phase.

Being a PS4/Switch title would definitely give it more sales potential, but they already have the engine ready on the 3DS and it would be much cheaper to develop so...I can see why they would go with that.
Pass. I adore SMT, but I couldn't even finish Shadows of the Labyrinth. Too much of a slog.
