I remember Nintendo fans(including myself) saying this back in 96. About FF 7.
Things like- People only played FF because it was on a Nintendo console, it wont sell without the Nintendo brand behind it, this type of game is niche in the west it will only affect Japan.
It not a perfect comparison. But many of the biggest system sellers of all time were not expected to have the impact they did. FF7, GTA3, MGS, WiiSports, Mario Kart(SNES), Sonic, SF2, Goldeneye, COD4, Halo 1, Super Mario Bros, Super Smash Bros... all of those had differing degrees of hype with them at launch but they all have one thing in common.... NO ONE realistically predicted how big they were going to be and the impact they would have. When they launched they just struck a cord with gamers and went on to legendary status all of them redefined expectations of what people thought was possible from their genre.
I am not saying BB will redefine what we expect from A-RPGs or games that are more difficult than people think a huge game can be. But I certainly see the possibility. Every Gen has its defining games, I see no reason BB cannot be one of them. As gamers we should all want it to do well as it does so many things that most AAA devs would dare to do these days.

add me, the more the merrier.
