Sega released its results for the nine months ended on December 31. While new console games underperfored, Phantasy Star Online 2 is still going strong.
I had no idea they had a FOTNS RPG on the app store. I know what I'm downloading later today.
I honestly found it funny you casually writing "FOTNS" like most people would know what you're talking about :P
I didn't even think of it like that until now. Lol If I had a top 10 Anime of all time Fist Of The North Star would be on that list so of course I know the abbreviation for it. Others maybe not so much. Lol
I was panicking for a second, cus I had no idea what he was talking about. Glad I'm not alone
Well, it make sense a lot of their games were only available on Japan and only for the PS4. That as far as I know already lost its market share to the Switch.
What market share did sony lose? Switch is not a competitor to playstation or xbox anywhere in the world, switch is in the portable handheld gaming market.
You're deluded if you think they're not competing. Even if someone owns both a PS4 and a Switch the two companies are competing to get the owner to buy games on their system. If a multiplat releases which system does the consumer buy it for? If the consumer is debating buying it for one system over another it means they're competing. If two exclusives release in close proximity there will be consumers who choose to just purchase one over the other due to not having the time for both.
Sorry, but this idea that the Switch and PS4's presence in the market in no way impacts eachother is some top tier delusion.
While that is true, in Japan in particular handheld gaming is an even bigger deal than in the rest of the world, and when you take the concept of a handheld and make it double up as a console, that just eats even more into the console share of Japan's gaming market...or adds to it? Whatever the correct term is here, the Switch is taking some market share from the PS4.
Sure, the PS4 has more to offer for the at-home gamer by virtue of having more power and better online infrastructure. However, there are at least a couple of reasons why that comes with a bigger sacrifice to the average Japanese gamer than for most gamers elsewhere in the world. Also, gamers who primarily play visual novels and other such games might not need their system to have 4K resolution. That does not account for all Japanese gamers, but it does account for a sizable portion of them.
Switch has 12 million sold in Japan to PS4's 8-9 million. So it has a larger audience in Japan than PS4.
I think SEGA is doing with Persona the same thing Disney did with Star Wars, releasing too many products in the franchise expecting to get a boatload of money, but only managing to make people get tired of them too quickly.
Release those games in the west and we can start talking obviously. Despite the resources Sega can give Atlus, we still have to wait for localization for several months
Persona 5 was great but some extra content is not reason enough to buy and play such a long game again
the issue isnt the western market, but the japanese market. alot of games get the "remix" treatment over there. and because p5 was a hit here, we get it aswell. thats usually not the case tho.
