[Wild self]

Console gaming dead in Japan.

Or maybe it’s because we don’t live in Japan ?

coping hard. There's been threads talking about how the PS5 has been doing in Japan and why the pandemic might be the reason plus the shortages.

The Shin Chan game is out



Forgot about it. Load times on the Switch kill me now that I've had the luxury of the PS5.

A Yakuza collection on switch would be the nail in the coffin

The Switch has no competition over there and Sony has practically abandoned Japan with the exception of money hatting exclusive AAA games from the usual suspects like Capcom, Square Enix, Bandai Namco etc.

 

[Legalese]

The load times would be too long. People want to play portable games that bad ?

I’m saying

that because Yakuza is so popular in Japan and Handhelds dominate Japan it would be amazing to see the theoretical sales figures

 

[Master Teacher]

The japanese view videogames as childish things for kids, that's why the switch does well, it's a great toy for children

why a grown man would want a switch, the world will never know

Because it has fun games and you can take it on a train/ plane journey

get over yourself

you ain’t more masculine because you don’t play switch Hall of Shame for a reason

I never seen a grown man playing a switch on a plane

the library of games on the switch are catered to kids, plus who the hell wants to play games on a little ass screen, it's not that serious, grown men have dedicated rooms and setups dedicated to gaming, ain't nobody trying to play some fake retro game on 720p screen in public lmao

you can't be serious

Just because you didn’t see doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen

there’s a lot of brehs on this board with switches it might only get play on road trips

but grown adults play switch get over it
