Mr. House 3,371 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 That's what happens when you have a huge install base desperate for any game. 2018 for Sheep was basically, Octopath Traveler this Summer and Smash in December. What a loaded year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,227 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 They sold 2.36 million in Japan in December, alone. I don't know if that is counting digital. So that puts it at 5.96 million before we count US Digital, and before we count Europe. My God. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What a loaded year. Metacritic - "Switch had the highest percentage of positively reviewed releases—not just the largest total of good games. Nearly 44% of Switch releases had green Metascores (reflecting approval from professional critics), compared to....... less than 37% for PS4." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shitty version of multiplats, late indie ports, WiiU ports and less games. but bu %44 positively reviewed games, just ignore the context and games themselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not to mention various bias publications bumping up scores. These raw numbers are seriously nothing to brag about. Hermits have been doing this for years, when PC supposedly had the most positively reviewed exclusives but still couldn't name a single one. Let's look at December Switch games of 75 and up at Metacritic. Dynasty Warriors 8 (late port/worst version) Aaero: Complete Edition (shovelware/multiplat) Gris (also on PC) Kingdom: Two Crowns (multiplat/shovelware) Everspace: Stellar Edition (late port?/shovelware) Guacamelee 2 (late port/worst version) SSBU Katamari Damacy Reroll (PS2 port lmao) SEGA Genesis Classics (late port) Amazing. Fuck this nonsense and have some standards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,227 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Can you imagine what the next mainline Pokemon games are going to do next year around the holidays? Sony will not release a major exclusive of theirs during that time, and I bet most third-parties, except Call of Duty, will stay away from the Pokemon release date.

Yeah, exclusives like Bayonetta 2. It's so exclusive that I played it in 2014 on another platform. Those raw numbers doesn't mean shit without context. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bayonetta 2 is not an exclusive to Switch but nice try though.

So is Katamacy Damacy Reroll. A late PS2 port but it has a different name so, exclusive by Meta standards of what constitues an exclusive. And Switch benefits from late ports. Grim Fandango Remastered and Transistor for example, two early PS4 games came out this year on Switch, so when it comes to the 2018 leaderboards, it looks good on paper but those games were reviewed back in 2015 on PS4. I'm only showing you how flawed going by Meta raw numbers actually is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
