I wonder how confused Nintendo is right now, that the more expensive standard edition is outselling the cheaper handheld only, Switch Lite in Japan.

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

Yeah we are all confused, the whole thing speaks a lot about how important is the switch factor for the consumer.

Makes one thing clear going forward at least: hybrid console > portable console

13 sentinels took way too long to make to produce these numbers. I hope we get a dragon crown 2 out of them one day, I’m sure the shareholders are going to push for it as well

Yea I honestly don't understand what took so long compared to an action based VW game. You'd think there would be less to develop if most of it is just text and the (gorgeous) visuals. I'm still really bummed out that VW's first foray into mechas was a VN with tower defense.
