flagstaad said: True they usually sold well, but on a console that has an established audiciente for this kind of games, this title is actually a bet for both Nintendo and Tecmo, as they are trying to create an audience for the genre on the console by using a popular character, that way they could publish more titles on the future. The pre-order number are decent but not huge in any way and the install base of the console is also lower than the one of the PS3, which is usually the recepient of the Dinasty Warriors games. People are beign conservative, and anything bellow 50k is almost impossible at this point. The most important thing is how many hardware units can this game move, specially for long time Dinasty Warriors fans that usually don´t buy Nintendo consoles, because those are new customers who could buy other games like Bayonetta 2 and Devil's third (and some third party titles, not just Nintendo exclusives) |
And I still don't understand, because many Japanese Wii U owners definitely should own a PS3 as well, and many of them should be Musou fans as well, just the enough quantity to sell more thank 90K copies in the first week, at the very, very least. Something below that number is too conservative for me. So again, something below 90K sounds too conservative for me. The game will sell definitely somewhat good.
My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
