NE: "We go over a big list of changes and adjustments we'd like to see in a hypothetical Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Definitive Edition."
Nintendo has announced its financial results for the full fiscal year, alongside an update to Nintendo Switch shipments and more data, including a prediction for Switch 2 hardware and software.
well, the switch 2 has two holidays in the us, thanksgiving and Christmas.
so id say its fairly possible. the rest of the world will also grab them
Yeah doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility as long as they have enough supply.
Do people buy each other games consoles for Thanksgiving? I’m in Europe and always assumed it was just Christmas where gifts were exchanged.
That time is often referred to as the start of the Xmas shopping season. For the last few years, retailers would do 'black Friday' deals at various times throughout the year. While many still prefer to start their shopping in the mid to late November, others will just buy when they feel the time (and prices) are right for them.
Switch and Switch are a different kettle of fish. A sell out at launch by the diehards, strong sales, then the non diehards will be put off by the £75 ($99) games, including the stupid download cards which are topping £65 ($85). Not rocket science to work out how the Switch 2 is going to pan out. The PS5 has sold well, but games at £70, sales have been low. As game sales drop, prices will rise. Sony could knock out all their games for £40 and still make a killing selling more games. There's no denying that a gaming crash is looming.
I agree, I don't see the Switch 2 selling anywhere near the numbers that these predictions suggest or what the general buzz is implying. While the initial sales will likely be strong, driven by diehard fans, I anticipate a gradual decline. It may not drop off immediately, but over time, sales will inevitably taper.
Not paying for something that's not worth more than the price it was advertised, which is $449 - $499.
EA just hosted its quarterly financial conference call, and its executives have been asked to comment about the recent price hikes for games.
My reasons to dislike EA
1)kills franchises
2)ruins studios
3)anti-consumer tactics
Damn, I should have watched more from Furious Francis. Very good video, will be staying up to date from now on. You tell it like it is, no BS. Much prefer to listen to information from a dedicated gamer, than some guy who is basically being paid to say crap.
Looking forward to seeing more.
Loved it.
Great article. I'll be going to his website on the regular. Its nice to hear gaming from a person that I can take seriously. He's not afraid to say he favors one company over another but he plays games on several consoles regardless. Thats a true gamer in my book.
Man. EA really needs to grow up and try to repair relations. Eliminating an entire outlet for selling products on is absolutely stupid! They are truly letting hard feelings get in the way of making money.
