Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Predict lifetime sales of Octopath Traveler

 

I think it will sell...

Less than 1 million 14 9.52%
 
1-2 million 79 53.74%
 
2-3 million 40 27.21%
 
Over 3 million 14 9.52%
 
Total:147

I think sales will initially be lower than a lot of people think, but it should leg it out past 1 million pretty easily in the end.



Honestly ? I think over 3M, it looks like a solid JRPG, there aren't that many on the Switch yet, it's already kind of a cult game



I reckon it'll do between 1 and 2 million, probably around 1.6m if I had to guess to the nearest 100k.

Nintendo are giving it a decent push, and Xenoblade 2 shows there's a market for JRPGs on Switch. On the other hand, I think due to its intentionally retro style it won't quite be mainstream enough to do more than 2 million.

Would be interested to hear from those who voted "less than 1 million" as to their reasoning.



I don't think this has enough mainstream appeal to go beyond 2 million, but I can see it doing around 1.5 million. It's got a fairly good profile for an AA release, and while in some sense the retro visuals might put some players off, I think there's plenty of evidence that part of the Switch audience are driven by nostalgia. Getting the demo out at an early point was a good idea, too, so hopefully this will do similar numbers to Xenoblade 2.



1.1 it will get there slowly/eventually. don't think there is a big hype around it. judging by the pre-sales!



Switch!!!

2 million. Definitely over 1 million.



I say 2 million at least. Obviously hope for more.

1-2m probably.



I can see it crossing 2 mil. It is being released during a drought and RPG fans are looking forward to it. I can see it doing well and being a go to game for a neat RPG on the go, esp considering that the battery life might be closer to that 5 to 6 hour mark due to it being a less demanding game.
