I'm sorry, but this is a goofy line of thought. Not everything have to be open world! This is as silly as say side scrolling platformers are worse than full 3D platformers.
I mean, there are different styles of the same genre, and in the end what makes the game good is the quality, not the style or genre.
Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
