Some of the top sellers in the west are fucking SPORTS GAMES lol.
I'd rather play a bunch of the shit Japan plays over fucking FIFA and Madden.
It's like debating with a child, including the swearing.

If you take a look at NPD, UK, Spain, France, and Germany chart last month, nearly half of the games on the top 10 are japanese games.Dear God why is it that no one can say anything slightly negative about Japan or Nintendo? .
Nintendo games always sell well, but long gone are the days when FF would sell over 3 million copies in Japan alone, one look at the Japanese charts show most main games don't even sell past the 300,00 mark and you can top the Japanese charts with less than 80,00 sales in some months. Konami recorded some of their best profits that doesn't mean they're a prolific developer making world class games like they used it. Compared to the 16 bit and 32Bit days Japan and its games market is a shadow of what it used to be.
Capcom are one of the few Japanese corps that can compete with the West for budgets and making world class game engines and AAA games.

PS5 software sales are abysmal.
Are people just playing their PS4 games on it lol

Adults swear too son.
I got the wisdom of a sage.
The next game that will probably chart in the top 10 is Resident Evil 8
When the Switch came out Nintendo dropped the Wii U like a stone, but they published 3DS games for another two years. This included bigger budget games like Pokémon and Samus Returns (which had in-house involvement) as well as purely internal titles like Mario Party and the Captain Toad port.I'm saying that Nintendo always does well with their Handhelds. We all know Nintendo dropped systems like a stone when their new system comes out (unlike what some say). What big AAA HH games came out for the 3DS after the Switch launched In-House from Nintendo?. To me, the Switch is the successor to the 3DS is all but name.

Japan market isn't irrelevant.
To give a perspective of how big the Japanese market vs UK and Germany markets combined for PS4.
Switch Japan sales = 16.7 million units
PS4 UK and Germany sales = 15 million units.
At the end of Switch lifetime sales in Japan, it could potentially reach or outsell PS4 total sales in UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy combined.
Japan is very important.
Unbelievable to see those low PS5 numbers from Japan. Sony needs to get their shit together.
I'm assuming some of it is (hopefully) supply constraints of simply not having hardware.... after all, it has no games here either and it's selling as fast as they can make them. I agree that they need to make games for the Japanese audience, though -- Demon's Souls isn't enough for the U.S. and it's definitely not enough for Japan. Sony has a lot of work to do; this was a pretty bad launch all around.Japan doesn't give a crap to Sony California offerings
What basis are you using to decide if a country is relevant to gaming?not irrelevant in sales
irrelevant to gaming as Nintendo stopped dictating the way forward in games in the 90s
it's about as much relevant as card gaming: still sells much, but who cares?

most boring and irrelevant domination ever
By that logic the only relevant country is the US. Its not like the UK, France or Germany are setting trends or developing engines that are bigger than those in Japan.trendsetting, engine tech etc
I would be very very surprised if Story of Seasons sold a million at retail, I don't think the franchise will be that big, even if it does grow. How have recent games in the franchise sold?
I also don't think Rise will be the best selling MH title. Beating MH4 is possible, bit 4.8 million is a lot, especially when we know an expanded version is coming in 2022.
For the rest I think you're spot on.
Mod got triggered by glorious imperial Nintendo flag.Weren't you the dude in the resetera media create threads?
Did you get banned or something?
Gamers around the world that are tired with cinematic games.not irrelevant in sales

So if Nintendo dropped the Wii U like a rock but didn't drop the 3DS, then by your logic the Switch is the natural successor to the Wii U.
To go back to the original point, yes Nintendo generally does well with its handhelds. That's why the success of the Switch in Japan isn't proof the country has gone handheld only. If the PS5 had Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros, Ring Fit, Pokémon Sword and Shield etc etc then it would be doing very well too.
Mario Party was in house, Captain Toad was in house.So no In-House games and Nintendo make Pokemon for all their platforms its hardly a risk, much less an In-House tittle. Keep it coming
Mario Party was in house, Captain Toad was in house.
You yourself said Nintendo drops a platform like a stone when they release the successor. When Switch launched Nintendo dropped the Wii U, they didn't drop the 3DS.
Why does Pokémon not being a risk matter? You asked about in house titles and AAA titles. If you had asked about risky games, I would have said that the 3DS exclusive game Ever Oasis was a risk as a new IP.
Wii U got no inhouse games, no big budget games and no risky games after the Switch, the 3DS got all three types.

Mario Party: The Top 100 - developed by ND Cube which is an in-house Nintendo developer. They are Nintendo employees and the studio is fully owned by Nintendo. They are just as much an in-house studio as Japan Studio, Polyphony Digital or Guerilla Games are for Sony.Mario Party wasn't In-House much less what anyone would class a huge risk or a massive AAA Handheld game
. So name me these 3DS In-House titles Nintendo made after the Switch launched?
There are literally THOUSANDS of units on eBay right now.Its supply limited everywhere. I tried to get it so many times in the states i gave up.
I think something similar to what we're seeing Sony do, some cross gen games and some next gen exclusives.It'll be interesting to see what happens with the Switch. Nintendo usually drops their consoles like a stone, but not their handhelds.
In the months after the Switch launch Nintendo continued to publish games on the 3DS, and Nintendo employees continued to develop games on the 3DS. The same cannot be said for the Wii U.
None. Exactly the same number as the Wii U.I stand corrected over Mario Party but if the best you can do is list a couple of lame game that Nintendo published, I don't count it . So I'll ask again, name me the In-House AAA games Nintendo made for the 3DS after the Switch launched?

AAA you mean a Wi U port LOLThat's a trick question because the 3DS didn't 'have any AAA games. In fact, I'd argue Nintendo is mostly a AA developer with the occasional AAA game like BotW.
None
Thank you
That doesn't support your argument though, as I explained in the rest of my post.
How many in-house AAA games came to the Wii U after Switch had launched?

Great, so we are in agreement that the Switch is the successor to both Wii U and the 3DS.None and note many to the Switch (if you take out Wii U ports) but you Nintendo fans always lap it up
AAA you mean a Wi U port LOL
It's support that Nintendo regrets I think. After 2017 3DS software sales collapsed so Ultra Sun and Moon should have been the final first party games for the system.3DS games published by Nintendo:
2017
2018
- Bye-Bye! BOXBOY!
- Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
- Ever Oasis
- Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
- Fire Emblem Warriors
- Hey! Pikmin
- Kirby's Blowout Blast
- Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions
- Mario Party: The Top 100
- Mario Sports Superstars
- Metroid: Samus Returns
- Miitopia
- Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon
- Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World
- Team Kirby Clash Deluxe
- Tank Troopers
- Yo-kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters
2019
- Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
- Detective Pikachu
- Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers
- Kirby Battle Royale
- Luigi's Mansion
- Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido
- WarioWare Gold
- Yo-kai Watch Blasters: Red Cat Corps and White Dog Squad
Coincidentally WarioWare Gold was the game that finally convinced me to pick up a 3DS. It's really incredible support given the Switch was an immediate success,
I think something similar to what we're seeing Sony do, some cross gen games and some next gen exclusives.
I'm not expecting a proper successor until 2023 at the earliest. A revision next year is likely.

I have no idea what 2030 will bring but the next Nintendo console as the potential to be their best in years. All the 3DS teams will be used to HD development by then and they'll have strong third party support from the beginning rather than having to prove themselves and build up support over many years.That's about when I'd expect their successor as well. My guess is there's no new gimmick - basically Super Switch. The numbers will say it's a little more powerful than the PS4 (Apple is past the PS4 now but everyone else is 2 years behind Apple - though now that nVidia owns ARM, who knows what they'll try to push forward in the next couple of years), but will have a much better CPU and modern architecture that will let UE5 scale down to it. Then 2029-2030 we'd see Nintendo flip over the table and do something radical again.
I don't think we'd have that many, a Switch game takes more time/resources than a 3DS one. You're right that we would have got games sooner.Definitely. They would have at least one additional Switch game each from Intelligent Systems, Grezzo, Camelot, and Good-feel by now.
It's PC and Nintendo for Japanese games from now on, the westernization is too far gone to reverse.
