Fair enough. However this is a video game sales tracking site and typically the best way to track a sequel/reboot's sales data is it's history. With that said, this GOW is very different as you mention. This leaves us with little to compare it to. So how is one meant to predict the sales of something if it has no comparable data? The only semi reliable way is to review it's history. |
Sure, that is understandable. I guess comparing it to similar games this gen would be useful as well. However, I can't really think of games that have released this gen that are very comparable to it. Something like The Witcher 3 heads too far into the open world/RPG direction and something like Bloodborne doesn't have anywhere near the same level of appeal despite its very high quality.
For the most part, I think we just have to watch and see where it goes as it carves out its own data points and becomes a reference for future games like this. It is a rather unique type of game at this stage of the industry: SP only game with huge content that has massive critical success and a mostly linear structure.
