_SecretSquirrel 06/16/20 6:34:05 AM #201:	Bear in mind, this port of P4G is breaking all sorts of Steam records for a version of the game we didn't know existed a week ago, that kind of just dropped out of nowhere on a platform nobody really thought that hard about as a match for the game. A very long awaited Switch version that people have been begging for the last couple of years would absolutely close the gap on Witcher 3, not just because it exposes the Nintendo-only crowd to the game, but because it's one of the few news stories that would kind of steal Witcher's thunder as the trendy game of the last decade. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service!

I think you're largily overestimating how big a crowd out there that is begging for this game on Switch but did not already support the franchise. Especially here, where Persona is already as big as it is anywhere. Saying a Switch release of Persona 5 would steal Witcher's thunder for the past decade is either vastly overestimating Persona or vaslty underestimating Witcher, I'm not sure which. Not saying it wouldn't be a big deal or that it wouldn't boost it, but the reason it didn't easily win that match is not the lack of a Switch version. --- 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:940747624] in The Show E...

A couple said something about not being able to bring their old character over, which would be a real blow. Sorry, I'd rather watch a let's play. (And I don't want to watch a let's play.)
