>In short, it means that the Switch has gained enough sales momentum to likely give confidence to Japanese third-party publishers to further invest in the platform. Considering that Japanese games still sell globally, this in turn means that the Switch’s gaming library will no doubt increase in the coming months. With new projects announced off the back off of these launch sales.
However, the biggest advantage the Switch has over the PS4 is that it is cheaper to develop games for.
Ps4 has games right now. Switch doesnt. Doesnt matter how much it """outpaces""" it
How are the graphics?
Scorpio and pc of you want graphics.
Yes, no doubt desu-ne
>released in 2013
Return of the b tier Japan studios .
Nintendo handhelds always have the best hidden gems.
Actually the graphics on switch ports are relatively close to ps4 versions but the tradeoff is 30fps locked or janky 30fps.
The wiiu sold great the first few weeks too and we all know how that turned out.
It's doing a lot better than I thought it was going to do.
I honestly don't understand how this thing is succeeding while the WiiU shat the bed.
Did it? I honestly don't remember.
>the biggest advantage the Switch has over the PS4 is that it is cheaper to develop games for.
Is this true? I thought Switch games being ~£10 more expensive was a good indication that they aren't? .
not really.
Pos4 just started getting games this year. So you can pretty much say it has the same amount of games as the switch.
persona4 is multiplat
nier and nioh are multiplat and confirmed for xbox/pc
horizon is a generic aaa that everyone forgot about and everything else is shovelware really.
was the wii u a handheld and easy to develop for?
Call me when more games are announced for it.
Love how it's been a month and nintendies still can't post actual sales numbers
You mean E3? see you at E3 then.
the switch devkit is 500$ while the ps4 devkit is in the million dollar range.
Shit now that you mention it BotW iis mutiplat. Shit switch really does have no games.
>horizon is a generic aaa that everyone forgot about and everything else is shovelware really.
Yet it still outsold Zelda... hmmm... makes u think...
that means it's going to take the switch 4 years to get a single game worth playing.
by estimations we can already say it's going past the 4 million mark. Nintendo doubled their shipment after launch. Original shipment was 2 mil.
Dumb fuck
sage
Cool but are you gonna post actual numbers or not?
Ah, That I can see but
Don't they already have a PS4 dev kit? With that expense out of the way it would be cheaper on PS4 wouldn't it?
Lul you mention persona being nutiplat while the switchs only game is mutiplat. Good thing ps4 has other games. Still beating yakuza 0 and gravity daze. My persona pre load is downloading atn. Yakuza kiwaian this summer.
Basically switch has no gaems.
Nope. Zelda continued selling unlike Horizon. Wouldn't be shocked if Zelda sells 3 mil in March and 6-10 by May.
Doesn't sony have like 50 billion sales? Why aren't there 50 billion copies of horizon sold?
>JAP DEVS SHIFTING ALL PROJECTS TO NINTENDO SWITCH
holy fuck your either retarded or deluded. a good launch does not mean its killing anything. the wiiu had a good launch for example
Well switch only has one game while ps4 has many.
Not that guy btw pretty sure he was baiting you anyways.
They're shifting existing projects over to Switch? I highly doubt it. The PS4 has been out for years now. The Switch is barely a month old. So, no. I don't think sales are outpacing the PS4. Places have barely had any stock because of NIntendo artificial scarcity tactics anyway. I want a Switch, but I'm holding my breath about it's sales numbers.
>the wiiu had a good launch for example
Not really though.
I really don't see smaller studios being able to afford a ps4 devkit. The bigger studios already have it but we're talking about smaller studios that produce niche jap games.
>literally denying reality
Horizon outsold Zelda, and those are the facts. Sorry you can't deal with facts and have to rely on your industry fanfiction.
>wishful thinking by drones: the post
>meanwhile all actual sales figures have Horizon beating switches only game (BotW)
This is exactly what they said about the Wii-U, which had a great launch in Japan.
Also:
>However, the biggest advantage the Switch has over the PS4 is that it is cheaper to develop games for.
That really depends. If they make a game for it that's handheld mode only, as at least one title is already, sure it will be, however for those that don't, they have to essentially develop 2 builds of the game at once - one for handheld mode and one for docked mode. That shit's not cheap, even for an underpowered piece of shit.
many like cod and fifa? that's really all that sells on ps4, if you look at the numbers.
Uncharted sold 4 mil but only after being bundled and practically given away with the slim.
No ps4 exclusive has ever broken the 10 mil mark really.
Pokken for example, outsold PS4's flagship fighter, SFV. Pokken sold 6 mil and SFV struggled to break the 1 mil mark.
NO YOU DON'T GET IT, NINTENDO WILL COME OUT ON TOP AT THE VERY END WITH THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP JUST LIKE MY MARIO GAMES!!
oh ya your right, coulda swore it did better than that. point still stands though. which is a launch means nothing to the whole scope of the future of a console
>outpacing a console that is almost 4 years old at this point
wow what an accomplishment
>pic related its sony sniffing nintendos corpse
And yet it took the Snake Pass devs a week to port the game from the PS4 to the Switch, using a $500 dev kit.
really makes you think...
>Pokken for example, outsold PS4's flagship fighter, SFV. Pokken sold 6 mil and SFV struggled to break the 1 mil mark.
im sure this had nothing to do with autistic nostalgia
>saled only matter if they agree with my opnion: the post
ps4 doesnt use some complex architecture like the ps3 did if a dev cant handle it they are a shit horrible dev
Like i said wii u had no games. What else were they supposed to buy?
If i put you in the middle of a drought in the desert im sure youd suck the water out of my ass.
I'm all in on NIntendo taking over nippon. I keep telling you all. Sony only has Europe.
This months NPD will be interesting ...
epic
Can you read? The Switch launch sales are outpacing the PS4 launch sales.
>Pokken sold 6 mil
HAHAHAHAHAHA no. Here's the truth, buddy. And here's another thing: SFV will continue selling and updating for the next 7 years, while the Wii U has already been discontinued and Pokken Tournament is no longer sold.
>this thread
you're giving me flashbacks.
>However, the biggest advantage the Switch has over the PS4 is that it is cheaper to develop games for.
>oldass games like pic related will probably be cancelled for the switch because it won't run above 20fps
It's easier to make and port games if the console has high limits.
by that logic, a gimmick game that bombed was still more successful than a serious fighter.
how embarrassing.
So you're saying all the Sonyfags in this thread are wrong as usual? When are they ever right?
Yeah, flashbacks indeed.
I will eat shit if it can even reach half of xbone sales.
it had a better launch? Cool.
the question now is, does it have the games normies like to play? No? Because japan has tons of normies, arguably more fanatic and dedicated than otaku to their normie garbage like fifa (or pes there I guess cause they still play that shit), and cod.
the switch dropped the ball, for the third time in the row for nintendo by being so far away from the architecture of it's competitors that it's ACTUALLY not worth it to fucking port games for these multibillion dollar companies. Japan is no exception. Besides a bunch of indie titles and the obvious DQ title, I haven't heard of much coming out of japan in terms of support for the switch.
also it doesn't matter if it's cheaper to develop for the system if they're already developing for PS4 because it has a bigger install base to begin with, no one wants to add half their costs when they could add another 10% instead and port to xbone and PC, and just ignore the switch.
Flashbacks indeed.

The fuck are you talking about? A PS4 dev kit only costs $2,500.
and switch is selling less than wii u
but let's just ignore that
Alright, not even Sonyfag here, but you fucks need to fucking stop your spam
>SFV will continue selling and updating for the next 7 years
We did it Sonybros! Our game is selling finally! It only took the game bombing and being desperate enough to sell it at $10 or $5!
Yes. Lower graphical fidelity is cheaper than higher graphical fidelity. Of course if you're just downscaling your PS4 game to run on the Switch it doesn't mean anything.
It costs 15,000 actually.
Some games that Japanese normies love are considered as "niche" in the West: Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter come to mind
>the only pics nintendorks have are from literally 10 years ago
I guess it's not unlike a nin10yearold to cling to childhood memories
>wii u comparisons
Wii U was dead in the water fro the start and we all knew it.
The basic bundle never sold out.
casuals thought it was a tablet ad on
Nintendo still focusing on fucking wii fit and wii sports DESPITE confusing and loosing the wii crowd.
Its literally only because of Zelda.
The ps4 has had prolonged sales figures. Every multiplat sells way more on the PS4 than Xbone. We already know Switch wont get half the modern multiplats, they are shitting themselves right now over getting fucking SKYRIM to work, when BotW already has issues with framerate stability.
Oh and also I decided to take a look at the link OP gave...
>The Nintendo Switch Sold More At Launch In Japan Than The PS4
>only in Japan
FUCKING LOL
>However, the biggest advantage mobile has over the Switch is that it is cheaper to develop games for.
ftfy
Nintendo is gonna bet BTFO by mobile phones and tablets that people ALREADY have. Cheaper games too. That's the casual market Nintendo is trying to get back. Glued to their more portable phones and tablets.
normie games for japan?
Yes, a fuck ton. Just take a look at the japanese eshop a bunch of weirdo jap games that only they would love. Japanese strategy, dragon quest, puyopop, and some other weird shit.
ign.com
what did they mean by this?
I would argue against that considering the absolutely abysmal ratings and feedback DQ 9 got, and 10 has gotten so far, even with all the improvements to it. and MH being popular doesn't mean shit if they're not making an MH game on the switch.
>ah so nintendo will beat ps4 because it has more games
>even though its going to be all first party shit
do nintenbros actually believe this?
Switch can't even run fucking ZELDA well. Nintendos own fucking game on their own console.
>also it doesn't matter if it's cheaper to develop for the system if they're already developing for PS4 because it has a bigger install base to begin with, no one wants to add half their costs when they could add another 10% instead and port to xbone and PC, and just ignore the switch.
there's no point in developing for pieceofshit4 if all they buy is COD and FIFA. Third parties don't sell on ps4.
...
First of
>Forbes
Secondly
>Japan
Outside of North America and Japan, no one gives a flying fuck about Nintendo and handhelds. Even China is on the PS4 wagon now
They sell more than they do on other platforms. It's a choice between less, and more. It's pretty obvious especially when like 80% of indies nowadays come out on PC as well, and again, PS4 is far superior in that regard considering ease of porting. the switch just needs a few serious blockbusters that are EXCLUSIVE to it, it needs real support.
>they buy is COD and FIFA. Third parties don't sell on ps4.
you literally just named 3rd party games that sell on ps4. are you retarded? do you honestly believe 3rd party games sell more on nintenbro?
Xbone has no exclusives anymore. Anything on it or the scorbone will be on PC. Thus, anybody caring about pinnacle graphics will play on PC.
Nintendo has great franchises, but they're going to trickle out at a snail's pace, and PS4 already has a huge install base and great exclusives of their own which already are available for purchase with a huge stream of continuous flow, due to it having a huge install base and having great industry confidence as the generation leader.
>Nintendo
>More games
Not even close. And it never as a home console because it's underpowered and has squandered its reputation on home consoles pretty extensively.
that isn't a million

Man that autist Sonyfag is really asshurt making all these replies.

nintendo is japans last change or else the country goes mobile games only.
If you faggots want nothing but cod and western trash you better hope NIntendo saves the jap market.
They actually handed out quite a lot of them for free, especially to indie devs. Google that shit.

LETETHISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
please dont tell me you own a ps4
Would rather have mobileshit only than a market dominated by nu-tendo tbqvh
The Sonyfags?
>However, the biggest advantage the Switch has over the PS4 is that it is cheaper to develop games for
That's all the developers ever need. Well, that and ' ' free ' ' marketing for their own games.
Shit, nigga, why the fuck did you think they were latching on the Sony consoles for so long? They're ready to jump shit as soon someone makes a hardware piece that makes their life easier and guarantees them money on their pockets.
Given that it's a hybrid, portable-only developer fags will have a riot with this one too. And there's plenty of those dudes around. Some developers would rather make smaller cost games if the hardware is more than suited for it. They don't have as much freedom to do so in big consoles.
Remember to report shills and spammers
>Bad when they do it
>But it's ok when we do it
You're all shit.
Someone is so fucking salty that zelda got BTFO by horizon lmao
