I didn't only factor the portability aspect.
Nikkei: Nippon Ichi's stock falls because investors are wary that Switch ver of Disgaea 5 might have trouble selling
Should have ported to Vita instead, lol.
I don't see what the issue is. It wasn't coming to Vita, period. It was either possibly getting the double-dipping sales through Switch or not getting them at all.

I don't believe in double-dipping sales for it... most people that interested in Switch will come from Wii U and 3DS.I don't see what the issue is. It wasn't coming to Vita, period. It was either possibly getting the double-dipping sales through Switch or not getting them at all.
Are [..] investors ignorant to the reality of the marketplace

I doubt sales of Disgaea 5 Complete will come from double-dippers.

Games with PS4 buying a Switch will be few... add these that already played Disgaea 5... double-dipping is close to none.
You two seem to be indicating that Disgaea 5 should be getting even higher sales than previous portable Disgaea games though from not only getting the handheld-only buyers, but also Nintendo fans who will be tempted to try the series out.
But I don't see it selling much more than 3/4 sold on Vita (~ 70-80k LT).

I don't see where I indicated that. Getting more than 3/4 of what was sold on Vita means it will outsell PS4 version.
Let's be honest, if you own N1 shares, you have too much money to waste. The sooner you sell, the better.
This will be interesting, the system is voted to local multiplayer anywhere which is a strong point of Bomberman and they are trying to capture those who played the Super Bomberman titles on Super Famicom which were big sellers (200K+).Super Bomberman R ...
Hard to say since there hasn't been a Bomberland title in so long ... probably depends on price (I could see it doing decently if it's cheap...)
This doesn't necessarily mean anything but Game have it listed as £59.99 (¥8,262)!This will be interesting, the system is voted to local multiplayer anywhere which is a strong point of Bomberman and they are trying to capture those who played the Super Bomberman titles on Super Famicom which were big sellers (200K+).
Let's hope Konami doesn't go crazy on the price.

Placeholding at this price however does indicate it will be full priced (even if 'just' £40) and not the £20-£30 it needs to be. I'm guessing it will bomb man.The official price will be announced this week, for now there are placeholders.
With all the issues, pro controller and battery critics left me speechless
The problem is that, out of the box, the Switch doesn't have a d-pad. That doesn't matter for all games, but surely it will for some.Anything wrong on using the joycons on joycon grip?
But according to an eariler post on this page, it only sold 40k in Japan.
Seems a low ceiling to start with anyway.
I dunno about, (or care much about) disgaea so maybe I'm missing something.
NIS investors are Vita fanboys
Now I understand why Tales sales are decreasing each new release... the battle system is something I can't deal with... it is so chaotic, boring and hateful.
I guess I will never buy a Tales game again
They need to re-invent the systems in the game across the board, frankly. Otherwise, it's going to keep slipping.

They just need to release an exclusive XB1 Tales, and then an exclusive Switch Tales, watch then both bomb, then port then to the PS4 a year later each and see a huge increase in sales, before releasing the first PS4 exclusive Tales and selling 500k+ again. Proven formula imo.
The 5th game is not something that should be the starting point for gathering new fans.I feel Disgaea 5 has an opportunity to sell to early adopters, at this point the series is floated on it's core fans with no real reason for anyone new to get into it. This is exactly the time when people might take a second look in a non-crowded launch market.
Or they can finally release a good tales game like Vesperia and watch the series go back to doing 500k+ sales in LTD.They just need to release an exclusive XB1 Tales, and then an exclusive Switch Tales, watch then both bomb, then port then to the PS4 a year later each and see a huge increase in sales, before releasing the first PS4 exclusive Tales and selling 500k+ again.

I have played the Beresia demo and couldn't like it at all. The combat being chaotic is true and the presentation looks like low-budget JRPG like Nights of Azure with barren and flat environments.
If you are talking about Persona 5, then isn't the series like Final Fantasy without any recurring characters or world? Each game is different enough on its own to stand out.Atlus: "Challenge Accepted"

The gameplay mechanics are similar but I don't see the characters and story being shared across the two games, P3 and P4. So what makes Persona 5 the same in this regard?
Okay, sure, perhaps I chose the wrong phrasing with that.
Point stands, they weren't getting any extra portable sales from Vita with it, so it's Switch or nothing.

isn't the left buttons layout supposed to work as a split d-pad (as the Dualshowck one?)
I've not yet found many criticism from the hands on impression about it but could be because no game so far required to use them as a Dpad
I have played P3 and P4: Golden and found them different enough to figure if anyone starts from either 3 and 4, they won't be confused. Infact going from P4 to P3 is terrible experience since P3 dungeon crawling sucks compared to P4.Maybe if you never played them. You even visit the P3 school in P4. The fighting games also continue the continuity and links up all the characters. It's canon.

I have accepted that you have a terrible taste in gamesAlso P3 >>>>>>>>>>>> P4. And FFXV sucks.
I have never liked the special attack inputs in SF2.i had my problems throwing hadokens and shoryukens but its still leaps and bounds better than playing SFII on an analogue stick (which I tried at first and said nope.)
They would probably need a new game that makes the series more causal like what happened with Fire Emblem, but I don't think NIS is capable of doing that.I feel Disgaea 5 has an opportunity to sell to early adopters, at this point the series is floated on it's core fans with no real reason for anyone new to get into it.

Whole bunch of worthless words when all I was saying is that they do share characters and a world so you were wrong. Word soup doesn't change that.
Also P3 >>>>>>>>>>>> P4. And FFXV sucks.
More to the point you can easily play Disgaea 5 without having played the others. Only the original game and D2 are directly connected.
Oh yeh, this could have worked.They would probably need a new game that makes the series more causal like what happened with Fire Emblem, but I don't think NIS is capable of doing that.
Sure but I think the reality is that you can say that about any game in a franchise. For all the crap people give Kingdom Hearts, most people aren't bothered by the ~convoluted storyline~ at all because the stories are relatively stand alone from world to world and you play as a kid who hangs out with Donald and Goofy exploring Disney worlds!
