@FragRed But it's out on PC though?

@FragRed Not as far as I know. It's on PC as well.

@darkfenrir @Octane My mistake, I thought I read that it was a PS4 console exclusive, obviously I recognise it was on PC too. Seems odd to me for a big Square Enix title like this to not be on both consoles.

@Caldorosso-E Well hopefully Bayonetta 1-3 will give PlatinumGames enough experience with the Switch to possibly make a decent port

So Nintendo filed a trademark for a "1080° Teneighty". Probably means nothing.

Would be interesting if a new 1080° is what became of Steep though.

@FragRed Happens to a lot of Japanese third party games. Maybe they think it's not worth the effort releasing it on Xbox One? I'm sure the royalty fees, manufacturing costs, licensing, and the likes play a big role too.

As Ryu Hayabasa had a habit of saying in Ninja Gaiden, What the...?

Rainway Deletes All Mention of the Nintendo Switch

@FragRed Well console exclusivity is a possibility like how PUBG has console exclusivity with XB1.

@Grumblevolcano Thing is Sony is very coy about it.

Like is Crash exclusive...or isnt it? They havent said so...which implies it isnt. But its not on anything else...which implies it is. But it doesnt say "Only on Playstation".

Same with Nier. Console exclusive? Microsoft and Nintendo make it clear.

Sony? Eeh. Depends on the game.

@YummyHappyPills Golf Story, does Nintendo have the exclusive rights? Nobody will ever know...

@Octane That's a small indie game and I believe in the Directs they ssid Exckusive.

With Sony its...sometimes they say? Othert times its weird and they say nothing and we just kinda sit wondering.

Anyway guess that 4chan Direct leak is fake. Its gone 5pm GMT and nothing.

Platform holders don't have to say whenever a game isn't exclusive, because they will do so if a game is. Sony hasn't said anything about Crash, which was published and developed by Activision, so it may end up on other consoles. Whether that happens is up to Activision, they own the IP. And if Sony has paid for exclusive rights, it would've said so on the box.

Hope this helps.

@YummyHappyPills Sony probably wouldn't be able to get away with what they've done on the exclusivity front if they were clear.

It’s pretty dumb how much people hammer down on Nintendo’s twitter during this time. Every single one of their tweets.

@-Green- Doesn't this happen every time a rumour of a game or Direct is made?

@FragRed Yes. Basically each time.

I think it's great.

Put the pressure on. Let them know what the people want.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE By my calculations, that means that 36,814 units from the '3DS family of consoles' were sold - pretty close to the figure for PS4's...and people wonder why Nintendo aren't killing the 2DS/3DS off? I don't think that it'll get much more in the way of 'top tier' software anymore - but as long as it's still in demand (and providing a 'budget' option for their customers), it makes sense that Nintendo would keep it in supply - at least until they can give the Switch a price-drop, or phase the 3DS out in favour of a 'budget model' Switch at some point
