I wasn’t defending this article, just merely pointing out that you of all people shouldn’t be criticising anyone.Imagine thinking that actual factual gaming news is "2 paragraph blogs" and actually saying that unironically to defend 2,000 words of fictional and ill-informed bullcrap disguised as a personal opinion that does "not necessarily represent the views of" the site to rile up the fanboys and grab some clicks.
3rd party titles on all consoles tend to sell less than 1st party Nintendo exclusives. 3rd party games can be successful on Nintendo consoles depending on the franchise/genre and if the publisher has invested in growing an audience. Below are the sales of some of the multiplatform games released in Japan in 2020:
They are both dedicated video game devices so it is not unfair to compare them. Is it fair to say that the PS4 outsold the 3DS worldwide? It is fair to say that right now the PS5 is outselling the Switch in the UK? Of course it is.
Could you share the source of your GB sales figures please. Those numbers don't look right to me. Unless you are using the fiscal year of the PS2 for both platforms rather than comparing the fiscal years of each platform?They can't compare PS5/XBS, so they're trying to use a portable console (facepalm), which accounts for 24% of consumer spend in the console industry.
I wonder what will they try when PS5 outsells NSW + XBS combined in FY22.
FY00
GB 18.86 M
PS2 9.20 M
FY01
PS2 18.07 M
GB 4.70 M
Millions of consoles unsold at the end of Q1
Consequences
Alright lets hear it
i counted both games and the remaster and yes they barely advertised the 1st game and the 2nd game i saw about 3 ads for it on toonami and thats about it sony didnt even advertise the game in there own store.
counted it as well
pc leak back in june https://in.ign.com/pc/161029/news/f...release-date-epic-games-store-exclusive-steam.
The studio that make those games doesnt exist anymore and this thread is about the future of JP games and what the ps5 may or may not get in the future you mentioned shadow of the collosus and dark cloud is about as relevant as MS fans mentioned viva pinata. Current games that have a chance of being made still, getting a sequel or has a chance of staying exclusive to playstation is what I counted.
you didnt list them and SF5 is on pc in fact most of the SF pro players play on pc since sony never fixed the built in frame delay and poor pvp netcode one of the top players for SF in general said this.
sales charts say other wise
Persona 5 could be on a handheld and it would break insane records in japan alone but it released on console and sold well to the jp audience.
So were does PC fit in this hypotheses there not playing on laptops or all in ones in japan they have full size desktop pc .
Switch version of minecraft is the closer version to what the pc gets and theres way you can use mods on it that you cant on the ps4 version. MK8D is a full upgrade over 8 re worked most of the phyics and added multiple modes Smash ult is the same thing and even more of a re imagine then smash 4 you cant even compare the two.
super famicom, ds, 3ds and wiiu say other wise saturn outsold n64 because it got str8 arcade ports in japan.
the highest selling switch version is the docked one and not the lite................
your right they spend the rest of there money on cod maps, fifa and madden and dont forget to buy your daily gta shark card.
decent list most are vita games and some of those games arent even on the psn store anymore do to licensing dont know what this has to do with the ps5
Because it's spot on. Hardly emotional, let's not get carried away.
Worldwide PS5 is breaking gaming history records, Xbox Series according to MS is performing better than XBO. They were ready and are performing well specially considering the chips shortage.
Not true.
What's shit about the article? He's reporting about the fact that Sony's software sales have completely flatlined in their native region. 0 titles in the top 30. The first time that has happened in decades. It's newsworthy. You're trying to derail the thread and thread whining because you don't like the news.
PlayStation generates way more revenue than Nintendo and PS4 sells (both total and average games sold per console) way more games than Switch. Sony is more than fine with the type of games they have.
Sony's performance in Japan is "catastrophic", and despite hitting 10m consoles sold in record time, they're losing marketshare to Xbox which is "strengthening", although no hardware or software figures have actually been shared.
Oh no. Japan plays games on phones. Who gives a fuck. Mean while Nier, Tales of Arise, Code Vein, 13 sentinels, FF7 remake, SAO, etc. This thread is filled with concern bullshit.
I think the discussion of Sony in Japan doesn't really have anything to do with MS.
The article is citing Sony's software sales in Japan which are indeed catastrophic.
Nintendo is doubling Sony's profits, destroying them in hardware sales, and first party software sales.
Yep, but his analysis seemed to veer into the wider picture, and the implication that this is the reason for this type of article coming out (which seems to be why he comes across as so delighted).
Another massive overstatement when you consider how quickly the PS5 is selling.
It's not that hard to guesstimate when considering Switch is not far off from surpassing PS4 even though it launched several years later.
You have whole countries - if not most countries - on Earth that absolutely refuse to buy Xbox. The numbers can't be anything comparable to Playstation.
That's what you posted previously, but it's ultimately rubbish, and now you're admitting to guesswork because we don't have the numbers for Microsoft. You actually have no accurate idea of total market share.
I think it's a cool little anomaly, much like sometimes the Baltimore Orioles start the season 1-0 and can call themselves "unbeaten", but you know they'll quickly race for the bottom of the standings soon enough.
You didn’t count both games because at the end you said “ So in total about 3 games are still exclusive” Unless you cant count there is more than 3 exclusives lol. Here is more than 3: Persona 5, Gravity Rush 2, Bloodborne, Everybody’s Golf. I already gave you a list of more than 3.
Clearly you didn’t because you said 3 games. on your list you said “Persona 5, 1 exclusive” bloodborne, 2 exclusive” so if you counted Gravity rush and last guardian like you now claim thats 4 lol…….
Nothing has been confirmed. It says Possibly.
You‘re moving the goal posts. I said what games are exclusive to Playstation that arent blockbusters so maybe you read me read. Driveclub is an exclusive but because the studio doesnt exist but it doesn't mean it doesnt count as an exclusive lol
I didn’t list quite a few more, so it just means there are plenty of Japanese centric games. I gave a rough idea. You replied to my random comment mentioning there are plenty fo japanese centric games and not just blockbusters.
What do you even mean? I said Nintendo is dominating because it is a portable, I didnt deny the charts?
Now Im starting to think you don’t even get the point of my reply to this thread. Of course it would sell more on a portable. My whole argument is that the Switch is doing well because its a portable. Playstation isn’t a portable hence why it isn’t doing as well, no matter what games they bring to Japan.
You seriously think they are selling better because of those reason and not because they are on a portable machine?
Like i said, Nintendo portables do well but the consoles don’t apart from the Wii. Since the Snes ( when Playstation came to the market) Nintendo consoles ( Home consoles ) havent done well apart from the Wii.
Well the regular hyrbrid has been out for double the time……
Sure. More like securing games like Nioh, Final fantasy 7, and others as console exclusive..
"Rubbish"
Switch is a newer console than PS4. PS5 has stock issues.
You can make as many excuses as you want but this is the current state of the market, which Switch has been controlling for years now.
Do I need to emphasise how pointless this statement is? PS4 is basically in its end-of-life, and has sold tens of millions more units than the Switch anyway having been on the market since 2013. PS5 is a new, high-tech console that is massively supply constrained. And you're comparing it with the peak years of the Switch which is much more widely available, and has a much larger software library.
Surely a Bodoism alt-account?
I'm sorry, early launch aligned sales mean precisely zero when considering the current state of the market.
Sorry but again that is rubbish - demand dictates everything.
.
Oh yeah, I remember now. rurouni kenshin - goes crazy creaming himself about anything Nintendo related, hates Sony.
They were literally holding lotteries to buy Switch's years after its release.Sorry but again that is rubbish - demand dictates everything.
For starters, if demand was low or average, they wouldn't be producing as many possible units as possible, and for such a long period.
You don't want to accept it, but demand for the PS5 now is higher than it was at the launch of the Switch. No console has ever sold 10m in such a short space of time, and no other console has seen the same markup in terms of eBay prices etc, and restocks go so quickly.
And no the Switch was not sold out for years in all places (sure as hell wasn't in Europe), that's complete bullshit
PS5 has only been out for months.
Don't worry Kenshin, it's going to be alrightThey were literally holding lotteries to buy Switch's years after its release.
Demand is not something that can be quantified until there are no shortages to speak of.
I mean, can you tell me how many PS5's are going to sell once the shortages are met? If not, you're full of shit. Banking on pipe dreams.
PS5 is going magically sell over 28.8 million units when PS4's best year was 20 million. Right.
.
You're the one pretending Sony is not a distant second place right now. I'm good.It's going to be alright
Oh dear, Kenshin. This next meltdown isn't going to be pretty is itYou're the one pretending Sony is not a distant second place right now. I'm good.
.
“Writing actual gaming news”Yeah. Writing actual gaming news instead of spamming muh console war opinion and "grave concerns" around is such a terrible thing. It totally deprives me of the right to criticize bullshitters
Keep going, you're a riot, Mr. Putin.
Lol ok Kenshin
A medal for entertainment
