There’s a game missing here...

Demon’s Souls reminds me of Soul Edge/Soul Blade. The pretty much forgotten first entry of a series that became mega popular from the second game onwards with a slight name change.

So what you’re saying is that the Pokédex is just made up stuff about made up monsters ?

I guess the planet on which Pokemon happens has very, very low gravity??

It’s different when it involves loot crates which introduce an element of gambling. Following your reasoning, yes, if kids save up their allowance to buy credit and buy DLC, I guess that’s ok. As long as it’s: I pay this many bucks, I get this content. The problem with the loot crates is that it’s slightly different:…

Well...you cited 3 indie games, including one which is new, yes, but multiplatform. The vast majority of indies on the Switch are multiplatform, and many of them have been out for ages. Like I said, they’re easy to port. That’s a good thing, it means developers will want to get their games out on the Switch if it…

It helps the Switch that this massive load of Indies coming out are all games from the last few years, which are already finished and only need porting... the PS4 didn’t have that advantage...

And, hum, one of the masterpieces you speak of if Zelda, I guess, but what’s the other?

They could increase the screen size a bit by reducing the massive bezels, for instance, but more importantly: improve the kick stand: currently it is borderline useless, and on top of that, it is not placed ideally at all: when I hold the console in my hands, one of the fingers on my right hand touches the side of the…

It’s funny because I just moved a couple of months ago from Ireland to Spain, and everywhere I go they have shitloads. Here in Barcelona, a shop next to work has a whole pile of them.

I think the only people who buy Xboxes in Japan are expats... like, American troops or English teachers... I bought an Xbox One game when I was in Japan, so I skewed the numbers :-P

I don’t think anyone is actually surprised the XBX couldn’t outsell PlayStation in Japan.

I’ve seen this many times.

It makes you wonder if Sony is preparing a proper 4K console for the inevitable day the Xbox One X drops to $400...

I can imagine Tokyo commuters hurrying to the arcade to play the arcade version of the trip they just made :D It’s rather cool, though. Very accurate reproduction of the Yamanote line. And those 3 monitors! Bad ass! I’d be curious to try it.

Europe: continent
USA: huge country

How wrong you are. GTA, Call of Duty and Destiny all sell extremely well in Japan... thinking all they ever play are RPGs is a very inaccurate cliché...

I feel like there is a subset of people out there that would pay money to have Ronda Rousey punch them in the nethers, but I’m not sure it’s enough people to constitute a marketable demographic.

Stores actually going out and saying “We won’t sell it”. That’s harsh.
I have an Xbox One S I already barely use, so I’m not thinking of upgrading (although I have a 4K TV). But then again... if I wanted to upgrade, it feels like I only need to wait a couple of months and I’ll be able to get one for much cheaper...

The first mission is at night, in the countryside, and you recover documents from a crashed plane. Not much to do with the beach landing...
