So what's your angle. You are talking specific about Japan sales for the fiscal results, that needs to carry it to reach their goal? Strange.
So sales are fake, and yes price hike is not going to do any favour. So you are saying Monster Hunter is not going to help sell PS5's or do well on the platform? When the last main one was carried by PS4?
His angle is being a fanboy and a troll. It's literally all he does here.
Monster Hunter Wilds is very likely to launch on Switch 2 or release soon after, but I'm not certain people are actively going to wait for it. It'll be very interesting to see how well it even performs on Switch 2 or how the Switch 2 will perform.
Handhelds have always done well in Japan, but this is pegged to be the most expensive handheld of all time.
You know what I find funny by you. You are one of those that pick and choose. ''Doesn't matter what happened in the past''. But you are guaranteeing the Switch 2 is going to be a massive success. Ironic. If we want to go on by the past with your standards I could say the Switch 2 is going to bomb like the Wii U did coming off the Wii. We know nothing about price, release date and how it's going to perform.
Exactly. The Switch 2 is likely to perform well, but there are some fundamental concerns it needs to resolve in order to do so.
I think as soon as we see official specs on the Switch 2, we're going to start hearing about Sony's handheld. Having actual competition is going to be a a huge dynamic shift for a more expensive Switch 2.
I think we can assume Switch 2 will come out March/April time frame. I don't think they can go another full year without releasing it.
At the same time it'll be interesting if Nintendo sensing that Microsoft's days are numbered puts out a SKU that competes directly with the PS5 in addition to their handheld oriented SKU. We're in an interesting time in the industry. First real shakeup since the Wii and 360.
Speaking off confirmation in their
investor meeting they confirmed they will maximise the tech on the title with the consoles and PC when asked if there would be a portable versions.
I think we can assume the Switch 2 will be around as powerful as the Xbox Series S when utilizing DLSS.
If the switch 2 somehow comes out without AI upscaling, it's game over for it long term. I also wonder what if any games it could actually launch with. No chance of a Zelda and very little chance of a Mario.
Probably Mario Kart 9 and the next Pokemon games. Not sure that is enough at a high price. Nintendo is in an interesting situation.
