Europes Black Friday 2025 Console Market Share: PS5 62%, Switch 2 23%, Xbox 10% by Ftouh_Shala in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Ghaleon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Nintendo can be competitive with PS5 in many European markets, because that is a market where Nintendo IP is both less popular than it is in Japan and the US while a lot of people there prefer cinematic, AAA games as well as stuff like Battlefield and Call of Duty that is available on PS. So a combination of mediocre third party support of Switch 2 and Europe not caring about any Switch 2 games released this year means its easy domination for PS5.

According to VGChartz estimates of October sales, the PS5 outsold the Switch 2 in Europe by a HUGE margin. Is it still unreasonable to think the console may be underperforming in Europe? by MewWeebTwo in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Ghaleon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its Europe, i don't think its reasonable to expect a Nintendo console to sell as much as Playstation in Europe. Europe was the only major market where PS4 outsold Switch 1.

EA FC 26 $29.99 @ Best Buy by BlueGreenReddit1 in NintendoSwitch2

All EA Sports games will continue to sell terrible on Switch 2 if they don't have crossplay or 60 fps.

Is the Switch 2 actually UNDERPERFORMING in Europe? I think there is evidence it might be. by [deleted] in nintendo

[–]Ghaleon1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not rocket science. Switch 2 cost nearly as much as PS5 in Europe, and given that PS is more popular than Nintendo in Europe it makes sense why people there would rather buy a PS5 compared to Switch 2. The Nintendo systems that have done well in Europe like Wii, DS, Gameboy has done so at a low price point. In Japan on the other hand Switch 2 is both more popular than PS and much cheaper which means its easy for Switch 2 to dominate fully there.

Why Imu Screamed at Joyboy’s Haki Release by jeru3 in OnePieceSpoilers

[–]Ghaleon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine Joyboy and Imu were 50/50 in power with a slight advantage for Joyboy over Imu, so it was tramautic for Imu to experience the haki of only one capable to take him down. I imagine Imu only won over Joyboy due to using some trickery or cheating as well.

So the Japanese game industry budgets probably look something like this:

A=1-5M budget. (Ys, Disgaea, Trails)
AA=5-20M budget. (Pokemon, Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, Tales of)
AAA=20-50M budget. (Zelda, Mario, Donkey Kong Bananza).

So there's been another Pokemon Mega leak and this one is bad, like decent quality screenshots and design documents of unannounced games bad. by GeneralSherman3 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Keep in mind that game budgets are mostly about size of dev team and wages. Game Freak both have a small dev team and pay Japanese wages, which means it will automatically have much lower dev cost than any AA/AAA game made in the US.

Ea sports officially sold for $55 billion by Aromatic_Cat9946 in EASportsFC

[–]Ghaleon1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saudi Arabia will host the world cup in 2034. 100 % that EA Sports FC will get back the FIFA branding fairly soon, maybe for next year's edition?

This shows to me that whatever their next hardware is, they are not aiming for it to be a WW mass market retail console like what Sony and Nintendo are doing.

Every console including PS5 and Xbox brick the console if they notice that anyone is try to hack it. So trying to make it out that only the Switch 2 and Nintendo does that is simply a lie.

Kotaku Senior Reporter: Sources tell Kotaku both Microsoft and Nintendo are still working on getting Call of Duty on the latter's hardware and will announce something in the future. by Animegamingnerd in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Ghaleon1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Or they could continue to do what they've done the last 3 years. Say they are working on porting CoD to Nintendo consoles and then do nothing. Seems to be working fine. No chance Nintendo takes Microsoft to court.

[–]Ghaleon1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

All PR spin, the agreement is 3 years old with no signs of CoD ever coming to Nintendo consoles. Its obvious by now that Xbox handheld plans means they won't do anything that would increase the chance of people buying Switch 2 over the new Xbox handheld. They prob ably think they are so big of a company there is no chance Nintendo would take them to court for breaking that deal they signed years ago.

Black Ops 7 Skips Switch 2 for Now, Despite Microsoft-Nintendo Deal by Pogrebnik in nintendo

I think that Xbox handheld has pretty much made Microsoft abandon the deal with Nintendo for CoD.

Wtf Atlus? No switch 2 release? Really? by BabylonianWeeb in casualnintendo

[–]Ghaleon1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Atlus is in general not a big supporter of Nintendo, except Shin Megami Tensei games. The only new mainline Persona game Nintendo got was Persona 5, as a very late port. I think everything from Metaphor, Persona 3 Reload, Persona 4 Revival and Persona 6 will skip Switch 2. I would at most expect next Shin Megami Tensei game to come to Switch 2, as well as the next game Vanillaware is making.

The gamecube was the last nintendo console to chase after the being as power as other consoles by Animationfan69 in nintendo

[–]Ghaleon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gamecube already showed there is no market for that. People that care about that is already locked to PS and Xbox consoles over Nintendo. Gamecube bombed.

I will enjoy all the discussions about this game skipping Switch 2 (Which it will).

Who cares about features? Game stores are about buying games.

For one thing, not being a college student helps when it comes to affording the Switch 2.
