Oh Lord almighty, this really did not go down well at all. I expected this to a point. This makes good midnight reading.

Apparently Konami charged for character slots in MGS4, so they haven't changed so much but their flaws are looked at much more vigorously now than before.

Being charged $10 for an additional save slot.

There’s a little firestarter.

Other than that, I know what the polls say before clicking.

Something something bargain sale...

How dare you besmirch Knack, he is this generation's 🐐🐐🐐. Without a doubt.

But the people on the internet said otherwise.

Looks at thread, looks at comments, looks at door, leaves.

The notion being suggested that Monster Hunter World's sales are weak is nothing but Square Enix talk. The property is now more known in west, if anything.

I sense another Crash for Crash incoming, because it's what happened all those years ago.

I'm not sorry.

@Quintumply
Yes.

Lots of comments on this game being "exclusive" just showcases the marketing effect.

It was a gamble, that paid off big time.

But I didn't expect such big sales so soon.

@naruball
No one =/= "Just not enough to make it profitable"
🤔🤔🤔. Promptly concludes any further conversation.

You can make a claim that anyone asks for a sequel (As I sit here waiting a Red Faction Guerrilla, Sleeping Dogs & Timesplitters sequel) and you'd be factually right. But you can't claim there is a huge demand and sales potential for any of it. That's what I mean by no one.

She's 50/50 right & wrong. Is the general gist I gathered here. Despite all their flaws, Nintendo is pushing SP games. In addition to Sony (2018 lineup) and Bethseda. But some games bomb, some don't.

@naruball @Bad-MuthaAdebisi
And no one was serious in asking for Knack 2, No one (maybe Knack himself is the GOAT 👍👍👍). You could only make that point for GR2.

@get2sammyb
Why can't I remember this? Or rather why isn't there enough noise about this?

Switch = Everything combined and then some, I am surprised given the company behind it.

Otherwise, there's nothing worth talking about.

@Fight_Teza_Fight
Wasn't PSP Go a big bomba? Why would they go back for another round?

Put that away, no thank you.

Nothing to see here, move along folks.

From a sales perspective he’s not wrong.

PSP sold 80m, while Vita is at 15m. DS sold 150m, while 3DS is at 65m.

To argue handheld gaming is still going strong after such a massive decline, is foolish. But to argue Sony didn’t mess it up is also foolish. But House’s statement is not one without a base.

The Switch is a hybrid and it’s only been a few months. As such its relevance to the handheld sector is exactly 50%.

This looks good.

@ShogunRok
Two birds, One stone.

So nothing worth getting up early for?

Well if nothing else, PS4's early 2018 lineup got kicked up a notch.

It's still successful, just not as successful.

Could you imagine where Switch would be if Nintendo didn't Nintendo things as usual? I would have a much clearer picture overall.

But a very good showing this month, even with repeated hitters.

@Splat
Andromeda put any chance of a remaster occurring on ice.

I feel like a Horse joke is appropriate but can't be arsed to make one.

I think we need backwards compatibility, because at this rate they'll remaster the whole of last gen before the dust settles.

Dragons Crown Pro: a bit on the nose but okay.

Uncharted IV: Versus, only in this case: the original version sounds pants 👎

In other news London has terrible weather...

The original sold well, why wouldn't a sequel just as good?

I don't think anyone was expecting this in any shape or form to even exist.

The Switch is unexpected.

Knack is back in action, all hail to the King baby!

I think we're passed the point pretending Destiny had any story at all.

I mean Destiny 2's saving grace could be gaining a story with a personality instead.

Haters gonna hate. Knack was so bad people were clamouring for it on Plus lineup.

@get2sammyb
Ditto.

Besides Sonic, there's far too much generic colours.

Stone cold killa face, I think that's what they're going for.

@Sinton
Let's not get all technical here.

@BLP_Software
Its a nice theory but one without substance.

@BLP_Software
Looks at platforms, hmmm.... But it's on PC as well so.

To be fair, no ones bothering with Xbox 1 by default when it comes to a great majority of Japanese games. And Switch is a Nintendo product.

That just makes me even more hungry.

@naruball
So I'm gonna chip in here.

PS4 has international viability which grants it games that were PSV only in Japan, but PS4/V in the west. The reverse does not happen.
Sony has no choice but to push it in Japan as well, since it is so successful in general.

Final Fantasy: R, XV, Dissidia, Monster Hunter World, DQ XI, MGSV, Shenmue III, Resident Evil VII & RE2R and so on. The fact that DQ did so well in comparison to 3DS considering previous history bodes well for MH World if Capcom doesn't Capcom. Vita did not have major games nor did it have any games which cracked a million (Minecraft sells good anywhere, so I don't where to place it due to MS).

TLDR: Vita has been phased out of society now, most of its exclusive franchises has either moved to PS4 or stayed on PSV. 3DS is being supported because of High selling software, PSV is not being supported due to low selling software. Simples.

Nostalgia The Video Game: Starring Sonic is positively received, no surprises here.

I'm surprised, but they are likely talking in relation to install base/internal expectations.

I'm not convinced this isn't Saint's Row.

Finally a suitable time for a conference, when I'm not fighting the urge to sleep or at work.

Four conferences in one year though 👀👀👀

This is about as noteworthy as those stability updates, it's not worth a new number.

It's such an interesting mechanic, I almost contemplated buying it to just try it out b4 all this backlash gets it patched out.

Press X to Ignore.

If I know Activision, I see another Crash for Crash coming.

A deal for the rich.

Nostalgia can be good. Nostalgia can be bad. Nostalgia can be meh.

Here it's so overloaded, I've feel as if I have gone back in time to 1991 and been unborn in process.
