PABR is not obscure, niche, or Japanese oriented since its basically a rip off of Smash Bros which saw success all around the world. It's also not an average game in an crowded genre. |
No but is just an average game. Seriously look at every game under 1 million. Every game that is in between 70-80, count them and see how many you get. Now look at all the games above 1 million. I bet those games you will find a lot more games in the area of a 80-100 metacritic. (Not all the time, but this is the case a lot of the time)
Games that are recieved well do tend to sell more which is what Ive been stating since the beginning. You think this game will have legs and push 1m. yes that is plausible if that is what you want to hear? But i find it more plausible that it will do 700k-900k if it doesn't get bundled. If it gets bundled then it will for sure reach 1m. The only part you seem to disagree with is the 700k-900k part and since then you have been stating that Im wrong, so we will see. if Im wrong then i will be more than happy to admit it but you cant prove anything until that point and neither can I. But using a few games that sold over 1m when there is 100's that hasnt is not a good argument.
This game has 3 things goind for it.
1. It has recognizable characters
2. It's an exclusive. Exclusives tend to be talked about on forums more.
3. It's a game that fans have been asking for for about a decade.
