I have been gamming for a long time now. I have mostly been a console gamer throughout my life. But I will admit that my first real console was a Vetrex. You see when I was a kid I was always playing last year’s success. Growing up poor will do that. But it gave me a real appreciation for good games. While I have never been the biggest Nintendo fan the system did grow on me. I was one of the few to adopt the Virtual Boy and played the hell out of it. No Joke! But as time went on I grew closer and closer to Sega. When the Dreamcast came out they released two of the greatest games of all time. Shenmue and Shenmue 2! Soon after Sega would die.. But not you Nintendo! You helped Sega along with Sony to sustain them. Even some of the greatest games like Sonic and Skies of Arcadia would make their way to your console. Fast forward to today and I will be honest, I have an extensive PS3 collection of games. But my most prized games on that system are all from Sega. The Yakuza series has been phenomenal.
I adopted the Wii U after learning of Sega intent on releasing Bayonetta 2 on your Console the Wii U. This letter is intended to “Open” your eyes and to kick Sony’s ass while you can, if not in America then worldwide. Contact Sega “NOW” get on your knees and give them whatever amount they need in order to have Shennme, Skies of Arcadia 2 and Segata SanShiro (Mr. Sega) as your new mascot. You can call him Nintendota U SanShiro (Mr. Nintendo). Pay him whatever he asks. He is a system seller! Sega should have never killed him, there for you need to bring him back as the phoenix reborn as the mascot of Nintendo.
I know this may not make sense from a business point of view but if you do these things and have Nintendota U Sanshiro at the helm of your marketing. Systems will sell! If you release Shenmue on your system you will have sold at least 5 million units worldwide. While that does not seem like a lot.. the potential for immediate growth is there.Open your eyes Nintendo before Sony and Microsoft take all the action.
As a proud Wii U owner I hope to see some of Sega’s future master pieces hit your system in the not too distant future.
Tamagotchi Plaza debuts in a very low position while Death Stranding 2 soars in the UK games sales charts.
The 66% drop in sales for DS says more. Mario Kart is weeks old at this point.
“launch sales were ~66% lower than Death Stranding 1”
Huge oof. This game will be on PC, Xbox and probably even Switch 2 soon.
That’s really up to Kojima. Last time it was around 6 months to go multiplat - but the sales were 66% higher last time so 🤷
@Qoxfres
Close... 8 months from the PS4 to PC release.
5 years from the PS4 to Xbox release.
The Xbox didn't move any numbers, but the PC pushed it a little at least.
Took 8 months for the first game to get ported to PC so I suspect just as quickly.
is it an oof tho? how many more players have shifted to digital since 2019? i reckon a lot. i got a physical copy of DS but opted for the digital for DS2 cause of the 2-day early access.
The digital excuse is dismissed regularly for Xbox and Xbox has a higher digital rate than PS
So we will discard that argument here too. -66% is a flop. It’ll be cross platform within 6 months.
"“launch sales were ~66% lower than Death Stranding 1"
Maybe he'll put this franchise to rest now and do something new (which I know he is thankfully)
Not to hate if you enjoy these games but they weren’t for everyone and it puzzles me that he did a sequel rather than doing Physint next or even an actual P.T like game.
I just feel he's trying to make Death Stranding a thing, like as big as Metal Gear Solid and it's just not going to happen.

From NETK2GAMES out of Barcelona comes one of the most enjoyable arcade racing you’ll play: Rally Arcade Classics is no fluff, all fun.
