I'm not bitching, you can't seem to read.

 

PSN (inc full game downloads, add ons and subscriptions) generated revenues of 434 billion yen, up 45% YoY.

 

That's the network gaming revenue from their PlayStation division, $3.98 billion.

 

Total network services revenue in 2018 was 1373 billion yen, which is around $12.5 billion.

 

That's Sony's total network intake spanning every division. That means PlayStation and gaming was responsible for $12.2 billion for the year.

 

Lmao no. $3.98 billion is for Q3 (Oct-Dec only). $12.5 billion is for full calendar year 2018. Learn to read bro.

2018 PSN revenue: $12.5 billion

2018 Total Playstation revenue: $20.72 billion

Nintendo maintained most of its software at full price throughout the gen  while software on Sony and MS consoles normally hit bargain prices in less than a year 

LOL at the hilariously low share for Packaged Software (retail).  Retail is dead. 

PSVR at roughly a third of PS4/PS Vita, is it considered good?

Now you guys are intentionally asking for old ports?

 

No. I’m just curious to why SE have not even thought of putting out any KH game for the Switch. I can understand why certain games like GTA or RDR skip the Switch but KH is made for the Nintendo demographic. It’s just strange for SE to ignore that.

Kingdom Hearts seems perfectly suited for the Switch audience. In addition to that, it would certainly appealed to the millions of children who just got Switch as gift this past holiday. It's pretty much a no brainer to at least get a KH collection for the Switch. But here we are, Switch is still not getting any of the KH games while SE released the umpteenth KH collection for the PS4.

What do you think the sub count was before Smash lol? I'd bet it wasn't even 2 million 

No way it's that low. Splatoon sold 8 million and MK8D sold 15 million, these 2 games are very online focused. My guess would be around 5 million before Smash.

You need it to play Smash or any other games online duh, except F2P games.  I have no complaints at less than $5 a year.

I hope all of them are on a family plan.  I'm on one with 7 randoms so I paid less than $5 for a year subscription.

well they could make the bezels smaller, but not having the joycons come off or connecting to a tv defeats the purpose of calling it a switch, 

I have never detached the joycons from my Switch anyway since I have the Pro controller and the SN30 Pro. Connecting to a TV via HDMI is a must for me though.

Impressive. Nintendo really needs to invest heavily in their Network.  It's going to pay off dividends.

I would be fine with built in joy cons, just include HDMI out for this portable Switch.

Makes sense. This will sell truckloads in Japan at least.

Digital on consoles is still relatively small compared to mobile and PC.

Good on Microsoft

任天堂はすごい!

Launch week of RE2 Remake and KH3 , and PS4 only manage to beat Switch by a few hundred units. Japan is a lost cause for Sony. 

Nintendo has to offer more than free NES games, they got to improve in this aspect.

Yes... we all know that Nintendo games sell Nintendo hardware... but third parties are doing well on the system too. 

 

Nintendo Switch:
Total Software: 163.610.000
Nintendo: 93.780.000*
Third Party: 69.830.000

Wow Nintendo alone sold almost 100 million software on Nintendo Switch.  And Switch is not even 2 years old yet. 

Launch aligned it's selling faster than the PS4.

LTD Sales
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe:  15.02M
Super Mario Oddysey: 13.76M
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: 12.08M
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: 11.68M
Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee: 10.0M
Splatoon 2: 8.27M

Attachment rates
MK8D: 46.54%

SSBU: 37.43%
BOTW: 36.19%
LGPE: 30.99%
Splat2: 25.63%
SMP: 16.42%

Just look at how much their games sold. And Nintendo games tend to keep selling throughout the entire gen. Mario Kart 8  and Smash are going to hit 20 million in a  year for sure.  Are there even any Sony or MS exclusives that manage to do this type of numbers?

Eeks. So apparently this game is incredibly easy even in Proud mode. Might be a deal breaker for me.

makes sense. they cut the kid a cheque to play for a while, now that he's finished his contract the game is dead and off the charts.

 

Pathetic, paying people to play your games on TWITCH. This shows where MS's priorities lie: They forced rare to make a featureless, single player-less piece of shit to push TWITCH viewers. They're more invested in MIXR adoption, and other stupid ass PC gamer streaming shit then making games for Xbox.

 

Let RAREW make a real single player game for CONSOLE CUSTOMERS. Enough of this hermit shit, stripped down multiplayer stream crap.

 

Fuck Sea of Thieves and anyone who spent a dime on it. fuck them.

I don't care that they pay streamers to play the game., it's a form of promotion/advertising. But doing that and not disclosing it is kinda shady. Fuck this shit.
