here's my evidence. where's yours? you know, your evidence about people only buying street fighter II because they're desperate and have nothing else to play on it?

BAM! 2 more Capcom games confirmed coming to Switch
My fault, I don't know what they cost, I just looked up one and it was this one [https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-amiibo-New-Inkling-Neon-Green/dp/B071R6QGRS/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_63_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=4TP50RCDY15J5V8MKCYV] and it's $35. Still $15 for DLC that would cost a buck or two anywhere else is highway robbery.Yoshi178 said:
Really?!?! LAST-gen games on a NEW system is something to celebrate? That's just a remaster/port. That's like saying a PS4 is totally worth it because of TLOU/Uncharted/Skyrim/Bioshock/GTAV/etc remasters.Yoshi178 said:
Look, the guy has a fucking Nintendo avatar and started a jackoff thread about Switch sales numbers. Maturity and realism are clearly not things he has any involvement with, so don?t expect him not to have a double standard when it comes to ports if they are coming to a Nintendo system.Phoenixmgs said:
And neither of those links has anything to do with why Ultra Street Fighter II sold well. Congratulations on finding links to random websites on the internet, I guess? I'll requote my post below this text, so that you won't forget again what I was talking about.Yoshi178 said:
And my proof is basic economics 101. Like you can literally look it up on wikipedia if you need to. Differing demand means a producer can sell at different prices in different markets. The Switch one costs $40 which could be a result of higher demand due to a lack of games consumers want. The PSN one costs $10 which could be a result of lower demand due to a plethora of games consumers want. I'm not saying this scenario is necessarily true, but at least it's underpinned by basic economic theory instead of yours which relies on wishful thinking.
edit: Also note that a higher price tag means Capcom makes more money off each individual unit sold. That means that fewer sales are needed to bring in whatever profit margin they are calling successful.

Ports of a shitty 2012 handheld game and its sequel! Switch is going places fast.Phoenixmgs said:
Thanks to the OP for again proving that while all fanboys are trash, Nintendo fanboys certainly seem to be the ones most detached from reality.
Remember kids: the baseline you are arguing against is that Nintendo can never do any wrong. Tailor your arguments accordingly. Or, better yet, don't bother.

i didn't know Resident Evil Revelations 2 was also a 2012 handheld game now?Johnny Novgorod said:
oh wait. it's not. just like rocket league, that only came out 2 years ago.
oh and btw, if Resident Revelations on 3DS so shitty. i wonder why Xbox and Playstation wanted it for themselves in the first place? it was originally an exclusive after all...
Yeah, but you're saying it in the opposite way. You're bragging/celebrating about remasters, look how much Capcom loves us with remasters of a 3DS game and a 25-year old game for $40. Whereas everyone was complaining about remasters on PS4/Xbone. I very much doubt the Switch will see as good of a lineup in its entire lifespan that the PS4 just saw from November of last year until now, we just got Shadow Tactics and Pyre. The Switch can't even get a Supergiant game. And PS4 gets better portable ports than even the Switch, we got the Danganronpa and Zero Escape (which are DS games lol) series.Yoshi178 said:
pretty sure people have non stop been crying about not having things like Overwatch coming to Switch. Overwatch is over a year old.Phoenixmgs said:
why have so many people been bitching about that if nobody wants these multiplatform "ports"? oh i get it. Resident Evil Revelations 2 and Rocket league are just the wrong ports. people wanted something like Overwatch more despite the fact that Overwatch is also an old game.
actually i was bragging about how Nintendo proved you all completely wrong with Switch not being a flop and managing to be a big success in sales despite people like you saying it would never sell. now that it has sold, you're just moving on to crapping on it's 3rd Party support just because it didn't flop like you all wanted it to so badly on this forum for some reason.Phoenixmgs said:
hence the name of this thread title. "Switch has SOLD 4.7 Million units to date."
People rather have new games that they might not have played vs old games they either played already or we're never interested in them to begin with. Rocket League seems to be a fun game every system should have according to friends as I've never played it myself. But Rocket League compared to Overwatch is a big difference in popularity. If there was a poll for Switch owners (or any platform's owners) asking if they rather have Overwatch or Rocket League, I think the results would be a blowout in favor of Overwatch. It's like the difference between Skyrim and Dragon's Dogma in popularity. Speaking of Dragon's Dogma; if Capcom is so dedicated to the Switch, why not bring over Dragon's Dogma? Instead of, you know, a 25-year old fighting game and a 3DS game?Yoshi178 said:
People want CURRENT-GEN ports, you know, NEW games. What PS4/Xbone/PC gamer has complained that they got the latest game that released? What they have complained about is getting remasters of OLD games instead of NEW games. That's why the Wii U getting Batman Arkham City or Mass Effect 3 failed hard. Whereas Nintendo announcing that the Wii U would get Batman Arkham Knight the same day as every other platform would've been completely different. However, that didn't happen because the Wii U was too underpowered to play it much like the Switch is too underpowered to play current-gen AAA releases.
overwatch isn't new. it came out literally a year ago. it's not current. Everyone has already played it.Phoenixmgs said:
like i said. you're just hating on Rocket League, Sonic Forces and WWE 2K18 because they aren't the 3rd Party support YOU want.
Sonic Forces, FIFA 18 and WWE 2k18 are more current than bloody Overwatch.
Lol, you're delusional. I don't care if the Switch sells as good as the Wii or sells as bad as the Wii U. Regardless of how well it sells, Nintendo is off on their own island doing their own thing. If I run out of games to play on "the mainland", I'll consider checking out Nintendo's island but that hasn't happened yet. Nintendo's systems are failures because they don't get enough games regardless of how well (Wii) they sell. It's all about the games, not the hardware or brand loyalty. I've bought PlayStations because of the games, not because they sold the most or I like Sony more than Nintendo or Microsoft.Yoshi178 said:
Overwatch is a current-gen game and far more current than the majority of ports the Switch is getting. And, btw, I'd prefer Rocket League (even though I haven't played it yet) over Overwatch as I hated the beta I played of Overwatch, I played 2 matches and deleted it. I bought and played Battleborn instead as I liked it much more. That's the great thing about getting all the games, I can choose basically any game to play vs hoping to get such and such game and being mad that my console got Overwatch instead of say Prey or Battleborn or Dishonored 2 (games that I like). That's why Nintendo consoles are secondary systems.Yoshi178 said:
so is Rocket league. you're fobbing off Rocket League like it's nothing because it came out 2 years ago.Phoenixmgs said:
Overwatch came out over a year ago which makes it only a tiny bit more current than Rocket League.
if you're going to completely disregard Rocket League, then stop complaining about Switch not having things like Overwatch too because guess what? Overwatch is also an old game everyones already played. Sonic Forces, WWE2K 18 and FIFA 18 are all more current than both Overwatch AND Rocket League.
that goes for things like Battleborn and Dishonered 2 as well. those are also old games everyones already played.
I'm not disregarding Rocket League, I'm disregarding getting a few games (Rocket League, FIFA, Sonic, WWE) and acting like that's some accomplishment over getting all the games. Shadow Tactics and Pyre literally just came out, can I get those on the Switch? Nope. That's the problem. Literally the only games I can't get now are Nintendo 1st party games, that's it. The games Switch owners can't get is a much much much much longer list.Yoshi178 said:
