At least online, both Yodobashi and Bic Camera are sold out on the FF16 PS5 bundle (Both Disc and Digital)
Don’t know if that’s a good sign or not

Its not a bad sign, that's for sure.At least online, both Yodobashi and Bic Camera are sold out on the FF16 PS5 bundle (Both Disc and Digital)

I'll discuss next week when it happens.Its fine to have personal preferences, but they are irrelevant to sales data.
Next week PS5 will be the best selling console in Japan, even for people who only portably. And Final Fantasy XVI will be the best selling game, even for people who only play traditional turn-based RPGs.
I'll be shocked if this happens.Switch will win again.
Actually you lost it, it's portable.Its written in the post. But the bolded already proves your intention all along, and how you knew you had lost this "discussion" long ago, and this following "conversation" has been nothing but the bickering of someone who can't admit he's wrong. Much like the behaviour of a child. Thanks for confirming for anyone to see.
Anyway, see you next week. Gonna be an interesting week.
But the issue is that the focus on "traditional" is irrelevant. Famitsu gives us hardware rankings/numbers and software rankings/numbers. There's no seperate "traditional software" chart or "traditional hardware" chart.In form and plug-factor, the PS4 is closer to the NES than it is to the Switch. The Switch can be a console for sure, just as much as it can be a handheld, and that's why its hybrid nature disqualifies it from being considered a traditional console or traditional handheld. I mean, damn, it's literally a tablet that you put inside a dock, not some big bulky box that you plug into the TV like the NES or PS4.
I understand what you mean, I was speaking out of that context.But the issue is that the focus on "traditional" is irrelevant. Famitsu gives us hardware rankings/numbers and software rankings/numbers. There's no seperate "traditional software" chart or "traditional hardware chart".
It's not irrelevant in this region because portable systems have superseded home consoles. Home consoles have been downward after the PS2 and cratered after the Wii in regards to historical sells.But the issue is that the focus on "traditional" is irrelevant.

It's relevant in that functionality helps sales, but it doesn't put those device's into a seperate market.It's not irrelevant in this region because portable systems have superseded home consoles.

Measuring sells of consoles that are not portable is important to see if the trend continues or not and so far it's looking like PS5 is reversing that trend.
Yes but every genre of game are in the same market too but people still measure the different genres to see what is gaining or losing popularity.It's relevant in that functionality helps sales, but it doesn't put those device's into a seperate market.
Switch and PS5 are in the same market even though PS5 is more traditional. PS4 and Wii U were in the same market even though the PS4 was more traditional. GameCube, GBA and PS2 were all in the sane market, even though the PS2 was much less traditional.
That was my point. Yes measuring the sales of PS5 and looking at how it is doing against other platforms like the PS4, PS Vita, Wii U and Switch is indeed important.
Exactly. I'm am arguing in favour of these things being part of the same market, so you and I agree with each other.Yes but every genre of game are in the same market too but people still measure the different genres to see what is gaining or losing popularity.
Well, we've just got the results from the UK and they look quite promising: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/fina...4s-and-dead-island-2s.1658188/#post-268114278. Good chance it will do gangbusters in Japan especially with that sexy as fuck limited edition PS5!Its not impossible, but unlikely.
Don't know why this wasn't kept in the famitsu thread, but ok.
But yes, unlikely but certainly possible.
Obviously we'll have to see with digital, but I don't think think those numbers in the UK tell us much about the numbers in Japan. The drop in physical from FFXV should be lower in Japan I think.Well, we've just got the results from the UK and they look quite promising: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/fina...4s-and-dead-island-2s.1658188/#post-268114278.

The only bad thing (or good for other forum members) is that you'll be watching this big Square and Sony W from the sidelines.
