We don't need another thread until the Top 30 are out
Caleb Hall
So Kirby has already surpassed 1 million, presuming a comparable physical/digital split over a larger installbase I wonder how much of Elden Ring's sales were PC
Angel Jackson
So how does Sony revive Japanese interest in their system and games?
Xbox has the stain of being a non-Japanese brand, PS doesn't have this problem.
Connor Roberts
Which would be sadder, the Elden Ring poster being a bot or NOT being a bot?
Adrian Allen
PS does have this problem nowadays actually. Japs were not pleased that Sony forced them to used X for confirm and O for back on PS5.
Lucas Roberts
And there it is. Took him a while lmao.

>Only 10k miserable ps5 consoles sold >PS5 getting outsold by Xbox in Europe and U.S
>Eiyuden Chronicle Rising, Pac-Man Museum+, Digimon Survivez Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Mario Strikers, Splatoon 3 are coming out on Switch for the following months, PS5 doesn't have ANYTHING
WHAT THE FUCK WENT WRONG WITH SONY? Cory Balrog implied that God of War Ragnarok is getting delayed to next year
As a hardcore Snoy, it makes me sad to see how Americans ruined this company.
"Not a bot", by far. It means he has this shit queued up and organized in some fashion and is actively tracking threads to bombard them as fast as possible.

>WHAT THE FUCK WENT WRONG WITH SONY? Mobile games GAAS
Chase Roberts
Well, I'm not staying up for another one of these tonight, especially with this guy running the thread. See you dickheads at the top 30.
>PS doesn't have this problem. It sort of does now. The fact that SIE moved their HQ out to california, and they killed most of their Japanese studios and publishing (with only Asobi and polyphony being left). Hell, even Polyphony is salting the earth of its reputation with how fucked GT7's dlc was. And Asobi making fucking Astrobot games is not going to help their reputation The issue is that Sony's space in Japan is being taken over by two distinct entities. First is nintendo, who now has a console JUST powerful enough to handle most of the Japanese games for niche audiences like JRPGs and VNs and the like. The second is PC gaming, which is handling the interest in high-end gaming more and more these days

I don't even read the press releases, I just check the state of Yea Forums's catalog If it's Switch there'll be maybe one thread or somebody trying to turn it into a "See Nintendo is declining in year 5 of the Switch's life SWITCH PRO IN TWO WEEKS TRUST THE PLAN" If it's PS5 the entire catalog will be a dumpster fire. If it's Xbox people will actually be talking about video games.
Probably just news about the PS5 being dead last. The usual.
Alexander Taylor
Why are you posting over a month old data in every thread?
Gavin Williams
Xbox apparently had their biggest month ever in March and it's extremely likely that it comes out in first place
There's also Kirby, and it will most likely smash records.
Fun fact, Sony hasn't revealed or published Horizon Forbidden West sales, they usually do it after a few months of its release, have the feeling that it underperformed.
why are people surpised, playstation isn't Japanese anymore. How long will Shuhei still stick around anyways?

>10./09. [NSW] Ring Fit Adventure # (Nintendo) {2019.10.18} (¥7.980) - 5.064 / 3.122.541 (+0%)
With Ring Fit somehow being the best selling JRPGs of the generation that isn't named Pokemon, do you think that'll eat into physical sales of Switch Sports since the primary draw of the physical version is to get a leg strap for soccer? Or do you think, hey second leg strap so the family can play soccer together.
Horizon definitely underperformed. Zero word on sales 2 months after launch is very weird for something that big and hyped. The first hint of poor sales was probably all the kvetching by certain people about ER and how well it did. Just wonder how bad the sales were and if any heads will roll.
Jack Harris
If xbox really does win, do you think they'll keep using the total dollar sales metric in the press report?
Joshua Flores
Imagine what would happen if he defects.
Hunter Gutierrez
By making games.
Chase Lewis
It's a completely forgettable series anyway, they should use those nice graphics for something else.
Joshua Kelly
>NPD I like to see the insane, deliberately-chosen rhetoric Mat Pisstakelea uses to make Sony's non-leading position to look like a nothingburger. But someone will have to take screencaps for me because he blocked me like a bitch.
Luis Wilson
Who would he defect to? Does anyone want a washed up Sony employee?
Isn't he just funding independent games now? Last I heard, he had his hands in throwing money at Genshin Impact.
Logan Peterson
I thought NPD's were on Thursdays
Nolan Moore
it caters to a different niche it's strange though that nintendo doesn't do dlc for it outside of that rhythm game. I want dragaux mode damn it!
Noah Long
Lol. What did you say to get blocked?
Cooper Reyes
This is fucking strange to me because horizon was shilled literally everywhere.
Liam Sanchez
they honestly can't at this point. even if they did a 180 on all of their policies and moved back to Japan. it would take years to get just a small portion of goodwill back
Caleb Robinson
Can't you see his tweets by logging out?
Jaxson Diaz
>throwing money at Genshin Impact.
That sounds less like funding and just trying to get your hand into Tencent residuals.
Camden Watson
Discussion for Horizon Forbidden West was killed immediately, literally, no one cares or discussed that game, this is the thing with Sony's first party games, they never get discussed, Horizon and other games are just created to generate artificial hype and bundling them to ps5 consoles.
Funny how Zelda BoTW pretty much killed Horizon back then, now ER killed Forbidden West as well.
Joseph Jackson
I don't remember exactly when (must've been early-mid last year) but I made a very softball joke about him being damage control for Sony with all the extra lipservice he gave them to excuse the PS5's dismal sales.
Grayson Scott
Microsoft is hiring Japs to help out with managing some supposedly big budget Jap games they're funding. I think he would be a good target for MS.
Mason Mitchell
i love the seething tendies get at this kek
Liam Campbell
>salt romano deletes posts when confronted with the truth >fat piscatella blocks people when confronted with the truth Snoys are absolutely pathetic.
Angel James
Yeah but you would want someone who's GOOD at that.
Jayden Thompson
You say as if the only reason this keeps getting posted isn't because of one perpetually seething fanboy
Are you going to post this in every single thread too for months to come? This data is from two years after its release at that. What you posted won't be comparable until 2024. Why wouldn't you just post the launch sales numbers?
>[PS4] 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (Limited Edition Included) (Atlus, 11/28/19) – 34,608 (New) let's kist compare again two years from now and skip the part where you repeat this post in every single thread for years to come.
Adrian Miller
>just picked up again my 3ds to play smtiv >is fun as ever It was such a good console t b h.
Bentley Parker
Sold so well they made a superior version for the Switch.
I certainly thought the first one was and the second one didn't really do anything more interesting.
Maybe another Deathloop type situation?
I suppose it's ironic how Sony has pivoted so hard to the West, leaving their Japanese roots behind, but one of their biggest and newest IPs got stomped twice by two different Japanese devs. I mean, the guy in charge of the studio that made Horizon got promoted to oversea all of Sony's studios.
Kayden Perry
Yeah. It's a years late port and it's selling almost as much. 80% in fact. That's not bad at all.
Jaxon Rivera
>I haven't bought a smart TV for my media room good man
Carter Flores
>big and hyped Big, yes. Hyped, not really. Sony didn't do a goddamn thing to market it after its initial reveal until the absolute last minute, with piddly shit that all fell flat. >astroturfing controversy again out of nowhere over Aloy's ugly design a couple weeks before release and pridefully reasserting that it was done on purpose >putting Aloy on the cover of Vanity Fair... for a digital magazine release only lol >that gaudy statue of Aloy in Italy (pic related) with a bland pretentious diatribe about hard-working women being overshadowed (while using a fake video game woman to stand in as the "placeholder" for them) >the usual failed attempts at trying to gaslight people into thinking Aloy was the first female video game protagonist

Ever since the Switch came out the Japanese industry has being doing a comeback and making western devs SEETH seriously the amount of Seeth BOTW and Elden Ring has caused has being hilarious and it also show how easily te western devs mask slips off whe a japanese game does well.
>"We only have one thread a week" FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING LIAR I KNEW IT Nintranny mods just protect and cuddle all tendies on this board. BAN THESE THREADS FFS
