Nintendo's Smart Play Against Switch 2 Scalpers #
Nintendo's president Shuntaro Furukawa isn't playing games with scalpers. The company's preparing massive inventory for Switch 2's launch to crush reseller dreams. Smart move → they delayed from late 2024 to March 2025 just to ensure enough supply.
Analysts are betting big on this strategy:
- 4M+ units predicted for US sales in 2025
- 6M units expected in first 3 months globally
- 80M units forecasted by 2028
While the OG Switch is still crushing it at 150.86M units, it needs just 10M more to dethrone PS2 as the GOAT.
Age of Empires Goes Full Empire Mode #
Here's what's dropping:
- Age of Mythology: Retold + Immortal Pillars expansion (March 4th)
- AoE II: DE and Age of Mythology hitting PS5
- Two massive DLCs for Age of Empires IV in 2025
- Age of Empires Mobile crushing it with millions of new players
GungHo's Puzzle & Dragons Problem #
Here's a puzzle the Japanese game company GungHo Online can't solve: They spent $640M developing 20 games, but none hit like Puzzle & Dragons. Their CEO's salary jumped to $2.3M while profits tanked. That's like maxing out your credit card on lottery tickets while your house needs repairs.
Strategic Capital's message is clear: Time to level up or game over.
Whether you're planning world domination in Age of Empires or practicing combos for Street Fighter 6, may your gaming sessions be lag-free and your loot boxes generous! 🎮✨
