People have been using the ''digital will save X game'' for quite some time now as a joke for a likely bomba/underperformed game so i thought i should say something similar since people are trying to find different excuses for the almost sure underperform for FE.
Of course it was a joke. Some of you should relax a little because every time that someone says something negative about Switch, you are turning this into a grudge match or you accuse him of fanboyism.
Of course it was a "joke", yep hahaha. I'm pretty chill here playing with my Snes classic and laughing at your "jokes" but thanks for caring about my well-being :3 Keep it going! ;D
You didn't say anything negative about the Switch though, had you said "I don't think FEW will sell well" that would be one thing, however what you said was that people here are going to make up excuses to defend the low sales of FEW. To me, that looks like you are saying negative things about people in this thread. If it was a joke, it must have been lost in translation.
Me too.

We don't even know what FE sold yet cool your jets. Regardless your being a bit over eager here at least wait for the results to come in and people reactions before making your analysis on how they should or should not react.

I was absent the last couple of days, because of a busy schedule. Looking back on the Day 1 percentages, I see that FEW's day 1 reception is as lukewarm as expected. FIFA percentages are only 20%? That seems low. It'll be interesting to see how the different versions perform.
As for the whole rhythm game thing, good to see Deemo at #3 in the eShop. I have it on Vita, but since this version has a lot of exclusive content, I'll double dip. Looks like Japan is having fun too. The Vita has a lot of rhythm games, and if Switch is indeed its spiritual successor, there's a lot of musical greatness to come.

Looks like Switch numbers are higher for this week. What strikes me too is that the turn-up for this week seems rather low, with some stores kinda close to being able to offer a Switch to everyone in line. Any specific reason for this? Or are we finally closing in on demand at the moment (well, at least to the degree that lotteries for sales day will no longer be necessary)?
Or maybe it's just some random low turn-up for one week.
No, i won't, seeing as some of you can't take it.
Have fun playing your Snes classic. I am gonna chill playing Cuphead
I can't talk about other people (although they seem pretty rational answering you) but I take your posts in good fun, seriously
at least it's much better than MH eternal discussion for sure, so my "keep it going" was not sarcastic. Thanks and enjoy Cuphead! I'll definitely will buy it on Steam before long.

Wonder if theyll do a Hyrule Warriors sequel with the DW9 format.
Really got burned off with just HW, dont want to play another unless its actually good
Lotteries is difficult to be maintained inside holidays at big stores for technical reasons. The traditional old system will like return and the faster will be the one who will purchase a Switch. If at January Nintendo runs out of stock after December rush it's possible they will return.
It's not a matter of, on the one hand, commenting sarcastically about a topic and, on the other hand, hoping that miracles would "save" a bomb or an underperformance.
I just think people tend to forget, though, how well games on Nintendo platforms perform during holidays, especially on new platforms. I don't think Fire Emblem Warriors will have terrific legs, but saying that it might have good legs thanks to the holiday season is not far-fetched, as the userbase will expand and it's a type of game without much competition. I also believe it's not a very good idea to release this type of game on a new platform, because it is a fanservice game and Switch has yet to receive a Fire Emblem entry.

then?
Switch shipments / sales for the first 3 quarters of the year.
Q1 {2017.03.03 - 2017.04.02} - 565.013 / 565.013 (5 weeks)
Q2 {2017.04.03 - 2017.07.02} - 474.812 / 1.039.825 (13 weeks)
Q3 {2017.07.03 - 2017.10.01} - 671.128 / 1.710.953 (13 weeks / 1 week missing)
Q4 {2017.10.02 - 2017.12.31} - x.xxx.xxx / x.xxx.xxx (13 weeks)
With Q4 double of Q3 it gives a 3,2m YTD.

A huge opening for Super Famicom should be expected next week, maybe close to half million. According to sinobi reservations have been resumed many times from retailers and lotteries will also take place during launch at Thursday. Since it's not a limited run and will keep printed through 2018 recommendations are customers not pay more than MSRP for it.
Design and game selection seems to appeal to a wider range of people, popularity is greater than Famicom Mini.

How big is the New 3DS market? Thought it was in the Wii U range
No one will really buy the inferior version if they know they are going to buy the new platform in the future.
And in the future, the price will not only drop but there will also be abundant of second hand product.

Fire Emblem Warriors seems to be getting very good reception in Japan. Most of the complains are towards the limited roster.
According to some people this seems like one of the best collaboration musou title Koei has ever made. Some are even saying it's better than Hyrule Warriors.

Good to here the only really big problem is the roster, even if that seems pretty major for a game like this. Still that can be fixed. Hopefully the game does well.

Yeah FEW seems like a quality game just looking at other people's impressions.
IMO it looks to be better than HW.

I feel like the limited roster was strategic with focusing on the 3DS games. It opens the door FEW2/3 focusing on other sets of titles in the series and starting with Awakening/Fates really puts their best foot forward globally.
If you compare that to HW, the roster there was almost too comprehensive. Theres not nearly as much room for sequels in cast or setting.

Its objectively better than HW on Wii U, likely with more content better gameplay mechanics (character switching and commands) as well as better performance.
Its mostly just less interesting since FE characters arent that great
especially if they skip Tharja 😤
With Legends they probably covered all the best character choices.
Not sure theres any need for another installment
Have sequels to these crossovers done well enough to justify such a strategy? Seems more likely to me they'd just save characters for DLC and then move onto another franchise. After the inevitable "Smash Warriors" would be when sequels start getting made.
Sequels are usually a diminishing return but some do well (Gundam, One Piece, DQ) while others flop (FOTNS, later Gundam). It really seems to depend on reception to the previous title, I feel like AOT2 isnt going to do that well for example.
Who knows though, maybe Nintendo and KT will just move to another property after FE. Super Mario Musou, Pokémusou, Metroid: Other Musou, etc.
Anecdotal evidences from Europe, it seems SNES Mini popularity is much more spread with respect to the NES Mini; perhaps, more availability helped.

They can capitalize on the success of BotW by including characters from that game. Maybe TriForce Heroes too.
Musou number is bad number.

Only Musou collaboration i can see doing well in the future (like more than half million) is Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts.
Mario could be bigger but i don't know how they could make it work.

Considering FFXV barely scraped a million I'm not sure a Musou game could do half of that.
Final Fantasy Warriors doesn't make much sense as the action/fighting genre is covered by Dissidia (not exactly the same type of game, of course, but catering to the same audience); same for Kingdom Hearts, which is already an hack'n'slash of some sort.
The only successful Warriors games will be those based on hugely popular anime IPs.

With FF they could go the DQH route. Have 2 original characters in a brand new world and bring the other FF characters to fight along them in order to save the land.
For KH it's more easy. The franchise has many original characters that fans would love to play, like the members of the Organization XIII, plus the keyblade wielders.
I don't think that would work unless they put a large focus on the Disney side or something.

I think a final fantasy nioh makes alot more sense for SE than a musou.

The roster is a huge problem.
Characters like Tharja won't be playable until March. That's just disgusting. I can see a lot of people waiting, they will pay less for a new copy (or used) and all the DLC will be readily available. It's what I'm doing anyway.
I have no interest in this game if I can't play as my favorite character.

Tharja didnt save Tokyo Mirage Sessions though 😢
I think you're exaggerating her popularity a bit.
