“Looking at the marketshare through 15 weeks, the Switch currently leads. The Switch has a 69.1 percent marketshare, the PS5 sits at 28.4 percent, and the Xbox Series X|S at 2.5 percent.”

Not really the moment the sales of the lite only portable switch are put together with the hybrid switch those Kinds of number are wrong. Nintendo is on two markets. Hell, i could go further and even say that 70% or more of switch gamers are portable and not pluged to a tv. Not the same thing.

CyberSentinel1577d ago (Edited 1577d ago )

And I could argue PS5 and Xbox Series has 2 sku’s each at retail. How people choose to play is irrelevant, this is about sales and Market Share.

Silly gameAr1576d ago

@CyberSentinel

Would you also factor in how much the PS5 and Xbox series X cost compared to the switch, or would we just ignore that too?

CyberSentinel1576d ago

@Silly GameAr

Cost is a factor, software is a factor, exclusive content is a factor, censorship is a factor, portability is a factor. Everything is a factor...but the only factors that matter to manufacturers publishers and developers are sales.
Cost is the other systems problem, not Nintendo’s.

CaptainHenry9161576d ago (Edited 1576d ago )

Xbox 2.5 percent is comical. You shouldn't even post the Xbox percent

LucasRuinedChildhood1576d ago (Edited 1576d ago )

A really misleading comment and some big spin. Those are just the Japanese figures.

The PS5 has the lead, not the Switch. These are the worldwide numbers:
"Looking at the marketshare through 15 weeks, the PlayStation 5 currently leads. The PS5 has a 42.7 percent marketshare, the Switch sits at 28.9 percent, and the Xbox Series X|S at 28.4 percent."

You're arguing with waverider about how different skus of the Switch are irrelevant to how we should look at the sales, yet you're only highlighting the sales in a single region which produces a much more skewed view. If the only thing that matters is the overall "sales and Market Share", then why do that?

CyberSentinel1576d ago

To myself and many others, total market share is more important then less then 4 months of sales. The switch released in 2017, and therefore has higher “total sales” numbers between the three systems.

LucasRuinedChildhood1576d ago (Edited 1576d ago )

@CyberSentinel

Your response has nothing to do with your original comment. C'mon, dude. We're just talking about aligned sales here, so why only use aligned sales from one region and pretend it's the whole story? Your argument with waverider was based on a lie. You're being a bit too much of a fanboy

If only AMD can provide more chips and Sony can make more units to sell, the number would be even more amazing.

S2Killinit1576d ago

I think the PS5 numbers would go through the roof if the shortage eases and people can actually find them in stores.

jznrpg1576d ago (Edited 1576d ago )

It’s hard to quantify and compare a launch of a product that included old chips that aren’t in demand at all except for the Switch compared to new chips that are in heavy demand outside of the PS5 and Xbox and a world wide shortage at launch .

CyberSentinel1576d ago

That’s true, that’s also Sony’s and Microsoft’s problem, not Nintendo’s.

"“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.

Flewid6385h ago

I'm about half way thru the first game and its definitely an acquired taste.

Cacabunga5h ago

Clearly not for everyone. I never tried it and it tells me absolutely nothing

P_Bomb4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

“Maybe he'll put this franchise to rest now and do something new”

He is making new things, so I don’t see what the problem is. Game reviewed better than the first. It has its fans and served its purpose.

At its core, it’s just not a very commercial game. Takes work, which might turn off casuals.

andy854h ago

Probably not, the sales won't be much lower than the first game. And its a critical success

neutralgamer19923h ago

Fox

It's selling well digitally you can't compare it to sales of ps4 game because even back than digital wasn't the be all end all like it is today now. With GTA6 delayed DS2 is the game to beat for GOTY

Fishy Fingers2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Split fiction and Clair Obscure already have it beat in critic scores.

So does Forza Horizon PS5 :/

I4621h ago

Geoff Keighley basically sucks off Kojima and Sony - so yes, it’ll probably be GOTY even though Expedition 33 is better

andy851h ago

Cant really compare those. Ones the best RPG since baldurs gate 3. Ones the next game from a game of the year studio and ones the best racing game on Xbox. To score 90 is still very, very good

Eonjay1h ago

This is the UK physical charts. This doesn't count digital at all which are the bulk of the sales and a much larger share than they would have been 6 years ago. For example, its the number one game on PSN.

I think he would be happy with your reaction. Remember, he stated that his goal was not to make a hit game loved by everyone. He would have been happy with 4/10 people liking it.

He is making what he wants to make... not what will be the biggest smash hit. He has stated this on MANY, MANY occations. And I think this is okay. I would rather people chase what they want to make as opposed to making money.

However, if you poke your head over on PSN... it looks like its selling just fine.

About the sequel, he ALREADY stated that even though he has a script for a potential DS3, it is not his intention to make another one directly.

andy851h ago

Literally this. And its massively improved over the first part. And its not sold badly at all

Exclusive vs Exclusive and a Mario game lost? There is still hope for humanity.

If they released at the same time Im pretty sure Mario would still take number one.

Ganif4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

At least get the statement right, physical sales were down 66%, not total.

https://xcancel.com/Chris_D...

Obviously, digital is bigger part of the landscape than it was on PS4.

Digitally on the PlayStation store it is and has been the best selling retail game since prior to release, and still is today.

Also, the digital edition came with early access.

P_Bomb4h ago

My friends and I bought it digital. Truth be told, I haven’t bought a disc in years. Is what it is.

Ruffy and the Riverside Review | NoobFeed

Asura from NoobFeed writes- When it comes to Ruffy and the Riverside, Zockrates Laboratories has successfully developed something truly remarkable. There is no need for it to be flawless, but it is not perfect. Something that it provides is joy, joy that is unrestrained and infectious, and in a genre that tends to play it safe, it is something that should be celebrated. A texture-swapping adventure that rewrites the 3D platformer rulebook.
