The PlayStation 4 version of Call of Duty: WWII sold 168,234 units during its first week of release in Japan, the latest Media Create sales figures reveal.
Phil Spencer considers MechAssault to be ahead of its time, with a lot of potential, saying that a revisit would be nice.
Forza is the best racing game. Xbox will continue to work hard to create Japanese titles.
I wonder how the gamers in Tokyo feel after Phil's email came out about how much he'd like to buy Nintendo.
Nintendo is probably laughing rn since they're winning and doing amazing my friend XD.
"Forza is the best racing game. Sure, it has fewer tracks and no VR, but it's better. Promise."
fr0sty
And it's cars and tracks cost money and there is a battle pass, but it's better.
I'm in Tokyo right now, and I can pretty much promise you that the vast majority of gamers in Tokyo don't give a flying F about that.
I’m sure they wouldn’t want Nintendo owned by a Western mega corporation that can’t even figure out what to do with their own gaming division.
Outside of places like this no one really cares that much. Anyone with some common sense knows it ain't happening. Nintendo's investors would never go for it, and regulators would never approve it. No console manufacturer will be able to buy another. Even if MS were to go software-only, with Bethesda and ABK they'd be way too big to allow that purchase.
The most we'll likely see is further collaboration between the two. Maybe a bespoke version of Game Pass to stream games that otherwise aren't available for purchase on Nintendo systems. Or maybe Nintendo will use Azure to revamp its online infrastructure.
Here's a gem
"First, regarding PC Game Pass, since it is on the same PC platform as Steam, we believe that it provides users with a choice. The choice of which library to build is left to the user's discretion."
I've heard this term before from him..."build a library"
Only your comparing steam to gamepass. On gamepass once you stop paying your library is gone so not really a library like steam which you can always go bac, to play your purchases built over thr years, without paying a penny more.
Saying gamepass is a library implies this, but as we know, it's nothing like this.
Keep using this word 'library' sits wong with me.
It's a collection. A library in something you can reference and go back to to look at your dusty booka you loved as a child. With gamepass m$ can yank any title, at will and throw it in the bin,
No one would do that in my library.!
Of course. With Phil it's 10 percent truth and 90 percent lie.
It's like you said, stop paying and you play nothing because with game pass, you own nothing. There's no library.
Only truth was that it's on PC and a choice between it and Steam.
You mean like how all Subscriptions work? You think you get to keep all those PSN+ games after you unsubscribe? Netflix Hulu, you still think you get to watch movies after unsubscribe?
"Only truth was that it's on PC and a choice between it and Steam."
Which is exactly what he just said and exactly what he meant. Congrats you read it but failed the comprehension (so close). Either have GP library or build it on PC or steam since games hit day one their.
5 percent truth and 95 percent lie. But Jim Ryan lies a lot too. They both can go imo
Gee it's almost like Xbox games release on Steam day and date and ppl can build their xbox games library on Steam. A choice of which library to build. Either on GP in which yes you pay for or Steam a PC games platform where they pay full price for games.
That was easy another failed gotcha moment on your part.
Gamepass is not a library in the true honest sense though. That's why it sits wrong with me.. your steam library is a library though.. point still stands.
Amazing sales for COD on Japan.
Damn Splatoon 2 is still in the top 5. It consistently sells 20,000+ every week there. Many games debut over there and can't get those numbers. Switch is simply dominating Japan. Another big week for Odyssey as well. Its any wonder why Japanese devs are scrambling to get their games on the Switch.
Splatoon 2 in a week or two depending on sales about to sell more than ps4 highest selling game dragon quest 11 and I'm talking about retail only, mediacreate do not add digital sales, but for retail sales alone splatoon 2 about to beat ps4 best selling game.........and still no first party ps4 game sell over 300,000 in Japan, i thought gran Turismo would break 300,000 but with it selling 9,000 this week i doubt it stay on the chart for long so if anything it may stop at 250,000 lifetime
Nintendo is really taking over Japan, right now the ps4 is suppose to take every advantage it can while it have a hardware lead but none of the ps4 games have long legs, they chart for 3 weeks the most in the top 30 and disappear while switch still charting and this same reason they taking Japan and why all these developers come out this week talking about making more games for switch.........if switch dragon quest 11 out sell ps4 version then its over for ps4, but if it don't then ps4 still have a chance to take any advantage they have while switch is only at 2.1 million hardware
