Nintendo operates on a tick-tock cycle, next gen might be the bad old days again but goddamn is it hard to imagine right now.

The Wii U was mostly an example of just being too soon. The tech wasn't there to do what Nintendo really wanted, but they pushed it out anyway. I'd imagine that whatever comes after Switch will continue to be a hybrid system, so it shouldn't have nearly the same kind of problems that last gen had.

If they deploy that well they could release a system that punches well above its weight.

lol.. the original article had this wrong.. I actually contacted the guy on twitter and he updated it.. now his article just makes no sense.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/videogames-are-a-bigger-industry-than-sports-and-movies-combined-thanks-to-the-pandemic-11608654990

"Videogames are a bigger industry than movies and North American sports combined, thanks to the pandemic"

lol.. it's now comparing WW gaming to WW movies + NA sports lol

" A previous version of this report stated that PwC expected the global sports industry to be worth $75 billion in 2020. That figure was for North America. The story has been updated."

My fact checking wins again!

It's safe to assume that any time a "games journalist" writes anything about the financial aspects of the industry, they have misunderstood facts at best or purposely misrepresented the numbers to suit their personal agenda.

Sony's first party games literally follow the same sales trajectory as any other AAA game. Hugely front-loaded and then only maintain a tail because they quickly join the bargain bin, followed by new versions bundled with the DLC. After the first 3 months, literally nobody is paying full price for Sony first party games.

Nintendo, on the other hand, can sell Mario Kart 8 at full price for 6 years and counting.

There's no comparing pedigree. Sony ain't even welcome in the competition.

All these Wii U ports selling like crazy, yet it feels like Nintendo's output of new games for the Switch is low. I have more than enough to play, so I'm not complaining. I just wish they'd give their less popular franchises a shot again.

Nintendo pulled back on 2H 2020 releases because of COVID, and in prior years I'd accept some mocking to suggest this, but it really feels like they've been holding back announcing a lot of shit.

Switch is allegedly only halfway through its lifecycle so I'm sure we'll be getting some meat soon.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons appears to be the fast-selling console exclusive ever made, even including pack-ins such as WiiSports and the original Super Mario Bros.

31 million sales in 9 months.

New Horizons will have eclipsed the rest of the franchise total (N64 + GC + City Folk + Wild World + New Leaf + spinoffs) by the end of this year quarter. Holy shit. :mindblown

People wanting Year 2 DLC to BIG but also remain free, while I'm sitting here going, "There's no way Nintendo doesn't recycle the Smash/Zelda/Pokemon 'two-hit expansion pass'" idea.

What surprises me most about Nintendo's success is that they've done it in a different price bracket.
Selling $99 - $149 handhelds with Pokemon to kids is much easier than a $300 - $350 device.

Don't know about you guys, but here a Nintendo title at launch can usually be picked up for AU$64 and the regular price at the big retailers will be $69 and sometimes $79 for Smash and Zelda.

Digital will always cost $80+ except for the occasional sale or if you buy the Nintendo online voucher things.

Sony as an international business entity might not care a whole lot about Japan. Sony as a Japanese zaibatsu definitely is hurting about this. There is a strange affliction in the Japanese business mind that sees conquest at home as being infinitely superior to any other market, despite its size. It’s a matter of personal pride.

Monster Hunter Rise Surpasses 5 Million Units Globally!

Quote
Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that Monster Hunter Rise for Nintendo Switch has shipped 5 million units worldwide.

The Monster Hunter series consists of hunting action games that pit players against giant monsters in a beautiful natural environment. Beginning with the first title in 2004, the series established a new genre in which players cooperate to hunt ferocious monsters with their friends and has since grown into a global phenomenon with cumulative sales of the series exceeding 66 million units shipped as of December 31, 2020.

Monster Hunter Rise is an all-new Monster Hunter title for Nintendo Switch. The game was developed with Capcom's proprietary RE ENGINE in order to provide a new, accessible Monster Hunter experience that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere and with anyone. In addition to new monsters and locales, the game provides a completely fresh take on the hunting experience through a host of new, exhilarating hunting actions made possible with the Wirebug. With this, players can traverse terrain at high speed, or even bind monsters and control them. Further adding to the excitement is the debut of new "canyne" hunting partners called Palamutes. The title garnered critical acclaim following the release of two demos featuring both local and online cooperative play prior to launch, with resulting shipments exceeding 5 million units one week since release.

Additionally, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, a new role-playing game that will feature elements that can link with Monster Hunter Rise is scheduled for release on July 9, 2021. What is more, Capcom will roll out a wide variety of initiatives that go beyond the scope of games to continue increasing brand value. These include the series' first Hollywood film adaptation Monster Hunter, which is being met with success worldwide, as well as character merchandising and apparel.

Capcom remains firmly committed to satisfying the expectations of all users by leveraging its industry-leading game development capabilities in order to create highly entertaining gameplay experiences.

If they don't move Xbox's and GPU supply remains as is it's going to be a very long game.
In fact, GamePass for PC is hardly advertised at all. It's mostly Xbox promotions.

Last I checked GamePass was at 18 million subscriptions and by pulling Xbox One X and other older models from shelves they're reliant on Series S/X.
To me the number of GamePass subscriptions at the moment seems tied to the number of boxes they can sell.
