I mean, it was already rallying to keep its lead against Red Dead Redemption, so maybe it just doesn't need that anymore. Only so much a PC port can do here, maybe if P4G had not already been a perfect Persona 4 proxy, the exposure on our least cared about platform would do that much. Also, I think we're largely overestimating how much those ports would do here. I can't see Witcher 3 allowing P5 to drop that match if it got closer. Not at all. _SecretSquirrel posted... Imagine if P5 had dropped on Switch prior to GotD. There's no way it drops to anything but BotW if that had happened. I think you're largely overestimating how much those ports would do here. I can't see Witcher 3 allowing P5 to drop that match if it got even closer. Not at all. And like, Witcher 3 is also on Switch, if that is as good a point as indicated (which I doubt), why do we think enough people would flip to Persona 5? The idea that there sits a crowd on Switch big enough that is ready to buy and love Persona, but didn't already is very doubtful to me, most of them probably has it on PS4 or already voted for it, if they care that much. We live the Switch and the highly acclaimed first party titles are strong here partly because of it, though they definitely also helped it become that strong. Indie games previously being on stream only but then getting exposure on another console helps a decent bit, because they're not as that likely to have heard about them. But I really doubt it makes that big a difference to a game like Persona 5. One thing is pulling the upset in a hypothetical rematch, but stating there's no way it drops to Witcher 3 is just... what. How much do you the Switch release helped Skyrim? Or Shovel Knight? Just to pick two vastly different games. The answer is very little with either one. --- Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc, the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest. <cite>ctesjbuvf posted [p:940744805] in The Show E...
