@playstation_king Same here, it's more creative and supportive of the arts. Too much music is going digitalised and people forget how amazing it is to see more creative arts. Live music doesn't always sound better, but it's more magical and immpersive to see live or know it was created live.
Of course music don't really make the gsme, but it's an impressive bonus.
@rjejr That doesn't mean it's good for gaming. That's why we see so many fail and play it too safe. With Nintendo you get good profits. And majority do buy first few weeks, but on Nintendo gamers buy not because it's cheap, but because they actually want to play it. Backlogs of unplayed games are not as common as other platforms.
@roy130390 Remember Nintendo games aren't multipatform games. They don't have to pay fees which run up to 30%. Even with Wii U not doing good, Nintendo made good profit. Of course they were spending a lot develop Switch and Switch game which cost, but they made all that development money back.
@roy130390 Nintendo has never been on the verge of survival. No company makes more sales than Nintendo off games. Nintendo not being able to survive is like saying Vita almost sunk Sony out of bussiness. It would be silly to think so.
Nintendo never even dropped the price of the Wii U console. Cause they were smart and knew it would help. Short term profits would not have helped them in the future.
@roy130390 Wii U games weren't constantly on sale. Nintendo has never waviered even when Wii U had horrible numbers. Meanwhile Sony tried to discount Vita and Vita games to high heaven. Look where that got them, it made everything worst.
Apple uses the Nintendo method also. And we can't say if other tried they wouldn't be around, cause none have tried. They are too focused on greed to think about long term profits. They just want to quick fix.
@roy130390 When you discount a game 50% off it means you have to sell double the copies. It also hurts your sales cause people always wait for the price to drop. Nintendo is about long term profits. It's better for investors, developers, gamers, and the whole nine yards.
FF can discount the game all they want, they never even come close to Zelda Breath of the Wild. Heck even 80% off, still won't come close.
@roboshort It didn't do that much better over seas. Counting physical and digital it sold 3.5 million worldwide. And a bunch as you can see came from Japan. This was suppose to be the biggest and badest jrpg ever made. Now it's just your average game. People want the Witcher and Zelda, not Final Fantasy.
@roy130390 I'm happy Nintendo don't go for cheap and chase sales numbers. That leaves more money for developers and more work for said developers in the future.
All I'm saying is it bombed expectations. You think it didnt, that's ok. But history shows these numbers are not that great. It's most likely the game has underperformed and will now have to be discounted to get more copies out and hope the next installment does better.
@Trajan That's a major drop off. It'll be lucky if it sells over 5million. It's gonna need a lot more sales events to get that. It's already went on sale twice so far and just came out. That's sad.
@TheFullAndy Cronovirus helped FF7 Remake a lot. It would most likely had bombed much harder without the epidemic. This is a major drop in sales from FF usual numbers. I wonder what's happening.
@Camo-joe Of course it's an Ipod, Nintendo uses only the best of mobile phones. Help me sleep Nintendo, I want to dream of greatness like yall always do. Let's be great together.
PS, give us dream gaming one day. I'd love to play Zelda in my dreams before I go to work.
Origami Princess Peach is best Princess Peach. Nintendo always has the best and most innovative thinking artists of today. They inspire us to make art too.
@brandonbwii Tanabe does Donkey Kong also. Tanabe is amazing. Many think Retro was secret for Metroid and stuff, but before Tanabe got there, Retro was a joke and a failed company. Nintendo sent Tanabe there to straighten them up.
52 games is very impressive, I didn't know I had so many games on my account. Can't wait to get more free games, and happy I'm not paying for these, I'd be broke.
@andyc777 4million is amazing. This one will sell 5 million thiugh, it's the best one. Plus nothing else to play for the summer, this game is perfection.
This game is gonna sell like crazy. We haven't had a Mario game in forever. Can't wait for this, and not along time to wait either. Genius reveal Nintendo.

Re: Japanese Charts: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Surpasses 4 Million Boxed Sales In Japan Alone
@Trajan You can still buy right now for $49 free shipping, lol, it still hasn't sold out. That's sad. My how the mighty have fallen.
Re: Japanese Charts: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Surpasses 4 Million Boxed Sales In Japan Alone
@Phostachio This is sad to hear, was gonna get the game at 50% off, but might have to wait till $19.99.
Re: Japanese Charts: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Surpasses 4 Million Boxed Sales In Japan Alone
@Trajan It has, twice it has been $10 dollars off. Just 3 days ago was 10 off.

Re: Japanese Charts: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Surpasses 4 Million Boxed Sales In Japan Alone
@TheFullAndy Yeah true, Animal Crossing had a bad problem with limited copies too. Maybe both could have did much better with the supply problems.

Re: Japanese Charts: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Surpasses 4 Million Boxed Sales In Japan Alone
@rjejr It's funny, FF7 Remake has already been on sale. They must not be happy with the low sales figure for such an expensive game.
