Xenoverse 2 Switch is launching at Fall in Japan

 

[Nirolak]

Read carefully.

The 3DS sold 68K this month in the US, which is dire, and suggests the people who would have bought it bought a Switch instead, as they view it as the current Nintendo system.

Xenoverse 2 Switch is launching at Fall in Japan

I don't understand why it's taking them that long to release a port.

Yeah that's how I understood it too.

 

[Calm Mind]

280k

It's going to be a GOTY edition with all the DLC.

Probably not a straight port.

Maybe some new features are being added in.

Oooh. Alright, that makes far, far more sense.

 

[1st Course]

I don't think you guys got my post.

3DS saleswas up yoy in the us in the first 3 months or so, but this month Nintendo didn't say it was up yoy in their pr.

Switch clearly took a toll on the us 3DS sales. meanwhile 3DS doesn't seems to be affected much by the Switch in Japan so far.

 

[sanstesy]

3DS sales collapsed in US.

Seems like people in the US view the Switch as a direct successor to the 3DS but that's not the case in Japan (at least yet)?

No, the 3DS just hasn't collapsed yet in Japan because it has meaningful releases there this year. The sales ratio is pretty much the same otherwise so them not viewing it as the 3DS successor is the wrong conclusion.

I'd hope so considering how late it's releasing a year later but I still don't see how that justifies the lateness.

They're adding some sort of Motion Control but if it's the same stuff as the Wii DBZ games it shouldn't take long to implement.

I honestly had trouble reading that statement from their press release. I was like, "Did NoA really just report they only sold 68k 3DS units in April?"

 

[Passose]

btw, when will the next MC chart be released?

Basically they want to charge full price for it, and feel the purchasing audience will include a lot of kids who get a Switch for the holidays, so a $60 version with all the DLC makes the most sense from their perspective.

Pretty sure it's still hard to find. I'll do checks tomorrow I guess.

 

[Nirolak]

Maybe we should rename it to Death Knell Week given it signals the start of bad Summer sales each year.

See? Death Knell Week.

 

[And_Gignac]

I guess they are not selling what they shipping anymore.

Dire indeed but not out of the ordinary for pre-Pokéboost numbers I thought, last April was ~75k from what I found.

 

[FreedomFighter]

Switch *super* low...

Going by Gamewithjp, it's still supply costrained across all the online storefronts.

What's last year's number for comparison? Those numbers are AWFUL.

Dude, just stop. You're so invested in this angle.

There are none in stock, so they simply sent the 25K form last week, to the week before GW.

I guess they are not selling what they shipping anymore.

I live in Tokyo, there are none here.
