| gergroy said: What? Being the first announced next gen game somehow makes it more anticipated? So dark void was a super hyped game last gen? Look at the preorders for these games and what analysts are saying. Destiny may actually sell more than call of duty this year. NOBODY was expecting watch dogs to sell close to that. Im saying the comparison is a bad one and not representative of what this thread is about. It is lopsided on both ends of the comparison. Mario kart is bigger than smash, and watch dogs isnt as big as destiny. What i said is pretty straightforward really. However, feel free to keep comparing them, im just saying it is a bad comparison... |
The fact is when it came to next gen titles WDs for a long time was all people would talk about so to try and palm it off as a surprise it sold well considering how hard Ubisoft pushed it is coming across as amusing at times unless you had your head in the sand or jumped on the WD hate wagon when those gifs came out it was always going to do well, Smash is still one of the bigger franchises for Nintendo only 7 games on a single platform (2 for PS3, 5) last gen outsold Brawl and all of them are games that launched years after Brawl when the userbases were near their peak on the other platforms. What makes this more redundant is that the prediction says the X1 version so how many of those pre-orders are for X1 and how many were strictly to get a Beta Key and would they be as high with out the Beta Key? The top selling X1 game is Titanfall at 2m followed by COD at 1.9m, these are numbers Smash will easily pass over time and third party games are front loaded I don't see Desitny selling after the first year which hits the prediction even more.
He in fact did the precdiction some flattery using the PS4 version of WD as PS4 is where Destiny will sell most on not X1.
