With that said when a game has a mandatory 20GB+ download? I don't know why the physical release even exists at that point. They're basically just selling you a code in a box at that point so why not just do that? If this is entirely a cost saving thing give up on the cartridge entirely and just throw a code in the box.
Retail presence. Most people still buy their games from actual physical shops (or supermarkets) and will never, never buy anything digital. In many cases they won't even have registered for the eshop.
It's crazy because they buy everything digitally on their phones.
It's something that affects some games more than others. I'd guess a high proportion of 'blockbuster' AAA games and sports games are sold in supermarkets or other non specialist outlets. So the code in a box is essential.
There's one big advantage to the consumer though - you can share or sell the 'cartridge with big download' but you can't share or resell the code in a box.
@FragRed I pulled up news on it and it says it is the owner. Either way I saw the writing on the wall long ago. I requested my account be deleted I didn't respect the site or the people who moderated for it. We will see how this plays out.
I sometimes lurked though Neogaf to check the leaks and the last minute info - like tomorrow’s Atlus announcement on SMT. Want to see on what platforms the game will be.
It had a lot of good users, but also many bad users too. Shame to see it gone, but I won’t support a site whose owner is accused of sexual harassment.
A similar story about Naughty Dog surfaced a few days ago. It could be me, but I don't understand the approach, take it to court, not the internet. False accusations happen too. I always like to think that anyone's innocent until proven otherwise, but this is the internet, and people are eager to grab their pitchforks and point fingers at anyone, even though nobody knows the entire story. I never cared about NeoGAF, and I don't know the moderator in question, so I'll continue to not care about any of this.
@Octane This was the site owner, and there were arrests (Like actual charges) on some staff for underage inappropriate materials in July.
And as it turns out the owner did, before everything went to hell, post something. Basically saying the women want it, so yeah, lets say "Innocent" about this guy who also in 2012, said the same things.

@BLP_Software It's not my job to judge. I don't even know half the story. All I'm saying is that court exists for a reason. Take it to a real judge, not the internet.
Well, at least it was just a developer at Naughty Dog, and not the owner. It would be a major blow to the gaming industry if they went down. They're one of the relatively few major studios that doesn't develop games like Destiny or Star Wars Battlefront.

Oh, for goodness sake.... A game not being exclusive to Nintendo isn’t the end of the world.
Atlus is showing this in their stream, not on Nintendo’s like it was the case with #FE. It is absolutely valid to wait and see what the developers have decided, and they will show that tomorrow, in an environment not directly related to either of the three big companies.
Can it be exclusive to Switch? Yes. Can it be a dual release on Switch and PS4? Yes. Can it be a timed exclusive? Yes. We haven’t heard anything on the game. All new info has come from Atlus website, not Nintendo’s.
It'll be Switch/PS4. When they revealed the game they said there was a 3DS version and they said there was a "console version". If it was exclusive to Switch they would've just said Switch version.
Not that it matters though. Game existing somewhere else doesn't make it less fun to play on Switch. PS4 is the go to home console and it's going to get practically every game now. Which is great. Still not gonna buy it for anything but Switch. There is nothing in this world that can make me choose another version over Switch if given the choice (provided it doesn't have performance issues or something, obviously)

I think it's safe to assume that most, if not all of the franchises that were 3DS exclusive will go multiplatform. We've seen it already with Dragon Quest, with Monster Hunter, and now with Inazuma Eleven. We're bound to see it with Shin Megami Tensei, and mostly likely with Layton and Yokai Watch.
Ace Attorney was technically already multiplatform, but it wouldn't surprise me if we see it come to PS4 as well
