| Mummelmann said: I know that, but I don't think they're selling huge numbers regardless at this point. Especially Destiny belongs in a genre that is typically front-loaded. My main point is that Amazon is a very poor gauge for how a game will do in actual sales, especially past first week and in addition, this is a time when there really isn't anything else on the horizon causing ripples to measure against. A good first week seems almost given with the marketing push, but like I wrote in my first post; I don't think it will have great legs. |
Yeah, I know what you mean. I agree that people have too much faith in Amazon (admittedly I'm one of those people sometimes), but I think people are just grasping for anything to predict sales since we get numbers so scarcely these days.
If Nintendo continues to support the game post-launch window (which they seem to have committed to), I think it will have good legs seeing as though it's gotten good marketing and it's online-focused (many of Nintendo's online games have amazing legs). We'll just have to see though.
