Reasonable but always keep in mind that analysts forecasts always fall a bit short of the actual statistics, they keep in mind margin of errors and keep their predictions a bit low. Quick example, with the recent adobe analytics they do every year, they predicted consumers to spend 57.2 billion dollars and in reality it clocked 58.52 billion. So we could see even a closer gap between Nintendo's prediction and what actually ends up happening.
@mowerdude because they want to give you more reasons to make you buy the game. You're saying it as if they actually were making big profit for selling SD cards. They only have one NS branded SD card with SanDisk so they're already making a small cut from those sales and I'd argue that a very small percentage of people actually buy those instead of the normal cheaper ones. They are making profit by selling you the game not external storage.
@Rohanrocks88 those deals really caught me by surprise. It hurts now that I payed full price for my double dip into Skyrim and now it's 50% off. I want to get Wolfenstein too but I filled up my SD card and there's nothing more I can archive lol. I had a lot of fun with rabbids it's a great game.
@NewAdvent it may seem like that since you see let's go pikachu on 4th place and 6th for let's go evee. However, it was reported that both SKUs combined place on number 1 in the chart. I would say they are doing pretty well.
So should I only transfer my weak Pokemon and level them up in game? I don't want to lose my strongest ones since it's significantly harder on Pokemon Go to gather strong Pokemon since you can't level them up (Powering them up is not the same)
@Cobalt even though I agree with some of your points and not with others, what's that about the dock you said and I quote: "...with no real electronic inside". Believe me I also think it's overpriced but what is that supposed to mean xD I find it very funny.
Can someone knowledgeable in laws tell me what happens if they are unable to pay the sum in question? If so how is that amount selected in the process?
@Pod i hope so too. @Callmegil The ending really disappointed me, I already pseudo-played it watching it on YouTube since it's a walking simulator. The journey was pretty fun and misterious but the end dropped everything that was built across the entire game.
@goggles789 It's hard to move to the next generation for some people. Disclaimer, I absolutely love physical games and always get it on some must have games for me.
@NintendoFan4Lyf They would fill it with unnecesary woman empowerement movements or feminist remarks. Which feel so forced and don't add any substance to the plot. Just like Netflix is doing with every show nowadays.
@kepsux How did steam fix it? Maybe not have just 5 tabs for discovering games on the eshop? At least it won't survive long in the most sold category since other good games will destroy it as soon as it gets back to normal price.
@Frenean well sadly it can't participate in GOTY since it comes out on December 7. It will be eligible for 2019 which isn't that bad since I don't want it competing with Red Dead Redemption 2 lol.
I really didn't mind the removal of trophies as cool as they were the instant sakurai said "Trophies are really hard to develop". Given the massive content that comes from this game I absolutely don't mind, the depth of these spirits really makes me more excited to grind them since they come with different rarities and abilities and so much more rather than a trophy with a brief description that I'll forget about later.
I guessed people would complain about this, at least you have a massive retailer distributed all over to go and buy games whenever you want at retail price or with discounts without any hassle. My country doesn't have any GameStop or equivalent and any games you find here are double the price since they import them. Gotta order everything from Amazon which I end up paying around 20-30% more for every purchase. With all that money I could've bought every other system with their best games. Sucks, just saying though, I know GameStop has had some gfddthddbuu practices over the year.
@Darth_Goomba Japan disagrees with Phantasy Star Online 2. I'm all about RPGs and MMORPGs. The dream for me would be to have a WoW scale MMO on the switch and play it anywhere with my phone's data. I'd be so happy.
@illmatic20xx not sure about that format in Pokemon since they encourage to keep playing after the game ends to keep catching and training more Pokemon. As opposed to a 'master quest like' feature of replaying the game.
Wow so it actually delivered? I still need to control myself with games like this where you have to spend money on real toys to play the game. It's a wallet killer.
@Silly_G Good job on disregarding every single product an entire country makes based on the fact that you disliked a single thing you tried from them, sure.
