Unless the next region is similar to Alola, gyms will undoubtedly be back in 8th gen.
Although they don't need to bring the HM system back, not having to have a slot filled by a HM slave is awesome.
If by bomb, you mean reaching 10 millions sales in its lifetime, then yes it will bomb.
It wouldn't be hard. They should put those restrictions on disc for every games now. That way, even if someone doesn't connect to Internet, they still can't play it because it's in the disc itself.
That way, you could also easily control review copies by sending reviewers the same product without those restrictions.
The Wii U had third party support like this at first, then third party abandoned it after 1 or 2 games when they didn't sell. The exact same thing is gonna happen with the Switch.

No he didn't pull that out of thin air. If Pachter says it's suicide to price it above 399.99 and Phil Spencer argues with him, then it's pretty obvious it's gonna be above that otherwise he would not argue.
Also, he did say Xbox 360 BC would not need software wizardry like on the Xbox One and Xbox One S and it would work flawlessly. Even if the Scorpio is more powerful, that's not gonna be possible unless they put the X...
“We’ve very specifically designed it [on Scorpio] so Xbox games just run,” he said, referring to both Xbox 360 and Xbox One titles."
So you're gonna do like Sony did when they put the PS2 architecture in the first PS3s and do the same thing, put the 360 architecture in the Scorpio. So it's gonna be a premium product like they said and super expensive, which means it's dead on arrival.
I wish they would do like they did when they made Mega Man 9 and 10 in 16 bits and just make Mega Man X9 in 32 bits like they did on SNES.
Sony has a 1.5 million lead in North America and Xbox One only won the last 4 months with a margin of 10000 or less, so no, Sony doesn't have to worry.
The only reason Xbox One won 4 months is because of the Pro which was coming soon and people were waiting for it.
It's too late already. You could turn this into the best game ever with patches, no one is gonna trust you and touch your products with a ten foot pole.

Because they announced FF15 and KH3 before the Xbox One was release, they thought it would be successful.
Now the Xbox One is out and it's basically a flop. Square-Enix are only going through with FF15 and KH3 because they announced them, but every other games they're making are skipping the Xbox One.
Then you also have FF7 Remake, that is gonna be permanently console exclusive to Sony because they own the publish...
if the Scorpio is 6 Teraflops like Microsoft claims, it's definitely not enough to do native 4K either.
"While your old PS3 games are sitting on your shelves gathering dust"
Sorry, but I am not dumb, so I didn't sell my old consoles, so my ps3 games aren't gathering dust.
5. Exclusive Games
Sorry, but Sony is crushing Microsoft in term of exclusives.
As for 2-4, pretty useless features.
This is gonna end up like the Wii U. They claim it has big third party support (like they did with the Wii U at launch), but they will port one or two games from PS4/X1 for it and then everyone is gonna abandon it once they see their games doesn't sell.
I wouldn't speak too soon. A lot of people seems to think Civilization V became good when expansions were released. If the same thing happens to VI, people are still gonna be playing V.
It's not that PC doesn't make them money, it's that console versions make them a lot more money, so those take priority.
If Red Dead Redemption is what they're working on, then the other game they're working on is definitely GTA6.
The PS4 is still leading by a huge margin in the US. Even if the Xbox One were to win NPD for 1 whole year, they still wouldn't catch up, especially if they're only winning by less than 10k units like the last 3 months.
@XiKurapikaKurta
And the PS3 was outselling the Xbox 360 worldwide since the day it released, while the 360 was only winning in America.
The Xbox One will not do the same thing because it's never gonna win worldwide. They can barely win 2-3 months a year in USA, catching up to Playstation is impossible. They couldn't beat Sony at their worst, there is nothing they can do. The next generation will be the same: PS5 will win by a huge landslide.
@ShowmanW
The game would have been exactly the same if it released on all platforms from the start since the game was 90-95% complete when they got exclusivity. Microsoft didn't do anything in development and their money did nothing.
In fact, Crystal Dynamics and Square-Enix would have made more money if the game was multiplatform from the start since the ps4 version would have brought in much more money than whatever mIcrosoft offered.
@BigGamersSmallTalk
FF15 will sell a lot more on PS4 then on Xbox One, a lot more. In fact, if FF15 sells 10 millions copies, 7-8 millions of them will be on PS4.
