Pachter has historically mentioned exceptions to his reasoning like Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, or Resident Evil , and in this latest interview, he appears to be baffled by the performance of Persona 5 . Those don't sell well because they have somehow dropped their Japanese flavor, but simply because they're part of popular franchises, come with excellent AAA-level production values, and have a proper marketing push that improves awareness among the audie
The newest job in sports right now is a video game coach. That’s right; being a coach to gamers is a real job now and the coach does everything a football or hockey coach would do from sitting down and studying past game footage to making sure all his players get along. A video game coach, or eSports coach as they're being called, can make anywhere between $30,000 to $50,000 a year including a performance bonus and health insurance tacked on to it. eSports coaches are making about the same rate as a minor league baseball coach would make, but it would not be surprising if that was to be bumped up in the near future once the medium has taken off and grown even bigger than it already has.
There is a reason why Phil Spencer travels periodically to Japan to persuade local publishers to put their games on Xbox One, despite its abysmal sales in the country. He doesn't fly halfway around the world to push the console on the local market, but because Microsoft is well aware of the fact that that it's lagging a bit behind in terms of diversity on the worldwide scene, and Japanese games can help address t
At last week’s opening presser, despite the low expectations Sony had set for fans, the publisher still managed to fall below them, with only a handful of new demos and teasers to satiate an increasingly ravenous group of players after the past few disappointing months. Even seemingly obvious reveals , such as a God of War or Detroit: Become Human release date, or any footage whatsoever for Spider-Man, Ghost of Tsushima, or The Last of Us: Part II, were inexplicably left out, as fans were forced to sit through over two hours of developer interviews and several trailers that were debuted earlier this year, including the night before at the more hypeworthy Game Awards. While this series of events would be more excusable if Sony's 2018 lineup was relatively empty, their inability to capitalize on their packed lineup for 2018, one that arguably stands head and shoulders above the other big two in gaming at this point in time, is jaw-dropping, with no release dates for any of their seven big first-party titles slated for next year, despite several supposedly expected to arrive sometime in the next six months .
Yesterday, I read a quote by Wedbush Securities industry analyst Michael Pachter -- with whom I'm sure you're quite familiar -- alleging that Sucker Punch's upcoming open-world game Ghost of Tsushima lacks "broad appeal." Pachter also says that this expands to "anything that has that Japanese flav
