Anyways SE Twitter started teasing a bit
It's possible that FFVIIR still has Sony console exclusivity for another year or so.
I really wonder where the Nintendo and Tencent partnership goes next. Games together?- Nintendo Co Ltd has shipped 1 million Switch consoles in China since it launched the device in the world's largest video games market at the end of 2019, its Chinese partner Tencent Holdings Ltd said on Monday.
So in 2020 the Switch sold in China almost the same amount of legal consoles projected to be sold in 2024 ? Did it over perform?
Yeah, hadn't considered that Xbox could be excluded for another year(or more) considering FFXVI and Athia.
Interesting. Thank you both.
Yeah this was expected.
Don't expect new leaks or info about DQXII before end of the year.
Do we think a port would do good for ps5? PC I get though, maybe ps5 sku can reach 3mil. PS4 is above 5mil now

I'm sitting here wondering if FF7R will get some ray tracing support for shadows and reflections. would be very nice given the art style
I would be surprised if the game is not teased this year since it is the anniversary of the franchise.
It will do very good probably, releasing this early in the system's life-cycle, and benefiting from sales seasons etc.

Maybe more people will be encouraged to pick it up with time if the rest of parts were received well and more people got interested.
I think the project (including PS4 version) will pass 10m mark in the future.
It won't sell that much if it is a free upgrade for owners of the PS4 version. Probably 1m+ thanks to a longer tail but not like a new game.
Looking at hardware shipments it's funny cuz DS best quarters were Q1 (FY), so NSW should pull over 2.5mil right? Hopefully it'll placed third and next Q3 hit a little higher.
And WTF at software, it's gonna hit 2nd??? Without a big game??? Omg
Ps5 sku could be a big game for japan. Maybe pull in 250k sales which would be nice

If you expect Part 2 before... 2024, I think you are being very optimistic.
If this SKU sells 50k physical, I'd consider that about right. It will do much better on PC in the west if it is a competent port.
PS5 port was teased few months back. Has been in development for some time.
There will be some dlc or game of the year edition <- my speculation

Is this only physical software?
If so, could Switch 2020 be near 20mil software with digital?
Depends on the port. Let's wait for the details.
We should get some sales update as well.
Honestly I actually forgotten ps5 hardware sales were bad, in my head I'm thinking what a PS4 port would do.... sorry I'm not that crqzy 😝
I think the TPC and Tencent partnership is different from the one with Nintendo.
OP
OP
No company posts software shipments that don't include digital.
Oh, right.
Still second biggest Q3. 2021 will certainly be bigger in that regard.
So potentially two years of PS4/PS5 console exclusivity for FF7R? Yeesh. I imagine it could launch straight into Game Pass after that since the sales potential for the eventual Xbox versions will be terrible.
It is very hard to break into the MOBA market. I don't think TPC/Tencent will be able to pull it off. The question is how can Pokemon Unite pull users away from League, Arena of Valor, etc. It will be directly competing with the launch of Wild Rift as well. Having Pikachu in it alone won't be enough as we see from countless TPC failures on mobile and other platforms

MK Tour is a bad game.
I don't know how popular kart racers in China are, but games like Pokemon Unite have been huge in China before.
It's very likely that it will be a success, as long as it's either good or highly addictive.
Not a typo. Just the majority of our model is behind a paywall.
Keep up the good work Zhuge, your insights on the Asian markets are very enlightening.
Imaginations from the other side, probably
Or wishful thinking, considering that I am way more interested in VII than XVI lol
Ironically that clone got a English release, game grumps even played it which probably put alot of eyes on it
I find it amusing how your judging how banjo would sell off crash 4 when crash 4 hasent even touched the platform where the audience would actually buy it at
It will be more popular on Switch but it won't set the world on fire, that's my point. And Banjo would sell less than Crash in general.

Which one of these games can help the PS5 in Japan? and how soon is it arriving?
Project Athia possibly.... but it also implies FFXVI might be before that...
