Thats amazing! Can you tell me how many of the people who pre-ordered the game have brown eyes?

Well, that's easily quantifable. The number of brown eyed pre-orderers is:

exceeding expectations.

I can see reviewers giving it low scores for all sorts of reasons (I expect low 80's)

I expect even lower. All the hands-on previews were pretty harsh about how clunky it supposedly is.

Ouch. It'd be a shame if it bombed because of the reviews or of it actually being clunky. So much effort, so much creativity could go to waste.

I'm waiting on reviews. I typically don't even look at reviews or even play demos for games I want to buy but this time, I'm not sure I want to buy. Team Ico has a hell of a track record but I'm a little skeptical this time. I can't put my finger on why...

Hope it sells well, though. After the long wait, it would be a shame if it didn't payoff.

I feel like they're massively selling themselves short.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

exceeding expectations means nothing from Sony or any Company, eg heres some past exceeding expectations statements

According to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, the Nintendo Wii U has blasted past their pre-order expectations.
So did the Wii U exceeded expectations?

thats not even the worse, heres a Microsoft guy speaking about the cloud and the xbox one

there is the power of the cloud that will match or exceed the expectations that can be delivered on the box.
Years later have we even seen the much hyped 'power of the cloud'

It's def good they're advertising quite a bit on this game, as I've seen some CMs on it on TV. They wouldn't want a game they worked on for so long to go unnoticed.

Once. Just once, I'd like to hear a company say "Our game sucks, nobody wants to buy it, and it's going to fail."

I'm not so sure. I think it will struggle to sell a million, it might do 700,000-800,000. I think lukewarm reviews will hurt it's sales. And even if it scores well and sells 1.5 million, it can't be a financial success given it's troubled developement. It's a pitty, because I really think it will be a masterpiece, but reviewers will probably focus more on irrelevant things like dated graphics, sligthly awkward controls and frame-rate drops than the unique atmosphere, great puzzles, gripping story and the emotional experience the game will give you.
It will probably be the last time we will see a game like this again. Pessimistic, I know. On the bright sight, a couple of years ago, I didn't expect this game to ever release, but now it finaly comes.
