There is no such thing as " niche genre " when a game sells million, thats a total nonsense, just think a bit, you will understand, and as i said, it doesnt matter anyway, even if in your head it's a niche genre, that changes nothing to the facts

Well you think Bloodborne will stop selling and not reach more than 2M like previous Souls ? ( and i dont think QB will sell as much when you see Alan Wake sales and based on One user base,unlikely)

I wouldn't use another game(or something else to compare) the outcome of another game/thing. Remember when people thought PS4 is going to win USA April NPD base on Jan - March NPD? Or when people thought PS4 is going to win NPD for Nov 2014 because Jan-Oct NPD says so? Well I'm going to stop here so I will let this be my last reply.

That is a false equivalency as the NPD situation isn't really the same. A lot of people did not take into account that Gamestop had a huge deal for consumers who wanted to purchase an XBO and assumed that buying habits were the same throughout all major 5 retailers (Gamestop, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and Amazon). Abdiel said the PS4 sold more in Best Buy and from my eyeballing, the PS4 dominated online in Walmart. Target and Gamestop were question marks. Had The Shogun not gotten banned on GAF and offered his assessment, everyone would be making different predictions, but alas, we're in the dark when it comes to Gamestop which holds the plurality of the marketshare.

So... yeah, this is not the same as what Aerys brought up. QB not selling as much as Alan Wake due to the XBO's userbase is an understandable opinion. You may not agree with it, but it's not unbelievable either.
