Awesome numbers for Pirate Warriors 4 Switch. Musou/Warriors games tend to sell better on PlayStation, I was expecting around 70% of PW4 sales to be on PS4, instead it's almost 50/50.
I do wonder... If Animal Crossing hadn't released these weeks, could Pirate Warriors 4 Switch sales be even higher? Plenty of people may be buying the former instead of the latter, in case they can or want only to buy a Switch game.
On the other hand, perhaps all the Switch console sales pushed by ACNH are also helping PW4 Switch, aka, without the ACNH boost, PW4S probably wouldn't have sold as much.
Both are conjecture, who knows which if any could be the case.
Looking delicious. Precisely just yesterday I was thinking that Animal Crossing could one day involve cooking. Perhaps also a farming mechanic to gather ingredients.
The lower sales could be explained by the game simply not being available at retail in many places, there's apparently a shortage of ACNH across the UK:

@Quarth Amazon Mexico has DOOM ETERNAL Switch listed for a July 31 release, a Friday just like its PS4/XB1/PC launch. Could be just a placeholder... Or the actual date...
"I'm not sure about this one, but in previous titles, people were making seeds of buildings or other unmovable objects. This turned into people maliciously entering someone's town under the guise of a trade and dropping them in unsavory places, breaking the other persons town."
"Em-poll-eon"? That was cringy, but good try nonetheless.
Already have a huge backlog, including games like Dragon Quest XI S, Tales of Berseria and Valkyria Chronicles 4, so I won't get PMD DX for now. May consider it in the future, though.
Aw... No catchable Mewtwo gives me the sads... On the other hand, awesome to get the Kanto starters. Great news, I'm about to play Pokémon now after a long day.
I don't see what's the big surprise regarding Persona 5 Scramble selling more in the console that the Persona series has been mostly associated with since the days of the first PlayStation.
If I remember correctly, other Musou games, such as Warriors Orochi 4, also have sold more on PS4 than on Switch, and yet Koei Tecmo keep bringing their Musou games to Switch, such as Pirate Warriors 3 and 4, Dynasty Warriors 8 and Persona 5 Scramble.
In Japan, they've also released Samurai Warriors 4, Spirit of Sanada, DW8 Empires and Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate on Switch. Sales must still be satisfying enough.
That Mario themed content is one of the first things that people create in games like Dreams is a testament to Nintendo and Mario's influence in Gaming.
@Dethraxx Good luck. Just remember that Nintendo could strike you with a cease and desist. Consider also creating an original IP, perhaps you could publish it one day.
@Creature I agree. I barely play Super Mario Run and Dr. Mario World, when I'm at home with a stable Internet connection I may as well play actual Switch and PS4 games. I'd have tried FEH if it could be played offline on the go.
Now, before anyone keeps on demonizing Nintendo, remember that they did try a "pay once, everything unlocked" model with Super Mario Run. Didn't work well.
Mobile audiences are different regarding what and how they're willing to pay for their games.
As long as they keep this model to Mobile, away from consoles, there can be some peace.
Serious comment, I'm hyped for this. Mario and friends haven't had an official animation since the Super Mario World cartoon, I think. So glad to hear that Nintendo and Miyamoto are keeping a close eye on production this time.
I'll get it, but not right away. Maybe I'll wait until at least the first character has been revealed. Still, hyped for it. I liked all the first Pass's Super Smashers.
Just played their Classic Mode and Spirit Board. Having played Three Houses, I like how the latter accurately represents the game's characters and several aspects of them really well.
Looking forward to this. Suspended my Black Eagles run until the DLC is out. I'm still early in the game, I'll try to have the DLC students get spotlight too in my playthrough.

Well, it's not yet another Baby/Fire/Whatever version of an existing character, that's commendable.

Re: Nintendo Is Already Fighting Off Hackers In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Taken from another post at another message board:
"I'm not sure about this one, but in previous titles, people were making seeds of buildings or other unmovable objects. This turned into people maliciously entering someone's town under the guise of a trade and dropping them in unsavory places, breaking the other persons town."
Wow. Knowing trolls, this sounds believable.
