The desert gives thirst ...
You can get a PS4 + Vita for about the same price as a Switch + Pro controller. Just sayin'.
Easily. Probably would have been a similar situation to Wonder Boy, where the Switch version outsold all others combined.
But Capcpom.
Makes sense...getting a portable and TV version for once purchase is tough to beat.
My congratulations to Capcom execs for not greenlighting Switch versions of Disney: Afternoon Collection and Mega Man.
It'll be interesting to see how Sonic Mania does. That's been at, or near, the top of the eShop sales charts since it launched.
I imagine there's an overlap in audience between Switch early adopters and retro-game enthusiasts.
Yeah, didn't say much back when those games dropped but yeah, Capcom REALLY fucked up there. Those games should have been available on every platform or at least in dev. No foresight at all. Those are no-brainer games with universal appeal.
It's spread out all through this thread, and all of it is ridiculousSo what's the spin now?

First thing I noticed watching gameplay videos.Oh man I loved Wonderboy! I'm glad to hear it did good. It had amazing music.

Just like with Okami and Zelda-esque adventure games, Capcom doesn't see a market for retro 2D content on Nintendo platforms.
This suggests a switch virtual console would do well.
Well, you can wonder the following: "How much did it sold" ? Because sure, it sold more than other versions combined. But how much does it make ?

There have been so many success stories that it kinda destroys the "starved for games" narrative when so many people are buying so many games.

Those indie success stories are good to hear, just hoping it'll continue for a long time.Forma.8 devs say they had a similar experience

Amazing game. For all those games that run exactly the same on all platforms, Switch becomes by default the console I choose.
PS4: $290
Vita: $160 (used, can't find em new anymore)
Required Vita memory card: $40 minimum
Total: $490
How exactly is that less than $370 again?

Considering 1. The Switch version sold more than all others combined. and 2. They are not responding with disappointed in lackluster sales. Means that they probably sold well enough.
Yet no numbers, no substance, and just buzz words...and to be honest, disappointed depends on who is saying it, a game can be successful, but not as successful as they wanted it to be so they are disappointed in the sales, its all relative..
And what does "probably" sold well enough even mean.

You're working overtime to spin this news negatively. It's fascinating to watch.

The sales standards are different on the switch, for example... a 3rd party game ships 500k on the switch and it gets headlines, a game ships 500k on x1/ps4 and its how much was the sell through.
