Riiiight. Is that why Mario Kart 8 still sells like crazy? And Smash too? What about Pokemon? Or Animal Crossing? I'm not talking about those shooters that are popular with mainly casuals and die within a month because a new hyped game comes along. Splatoon is a Nintendo game with good word of mouth, a very solid campaign and online that will be supported with new additions throughout the whole summer and will get a massive update in August. It should have good legs. That may be true for other Souls games, but I don't think it will be the case for Bloodborne. It's an exclusive, and it had a massive FW, so I don't think many more sales are going to come out of it (at least in relation to how much the other Souls games sold after their respective openings). I'm thinking 2-2.5m max LT. It already fell off a cliff in Japan (where it had a 150k opening and I don't think it's reached 200k yet). Also, Splatoon was massively undershipped in Japan as it sold around 95% of its initial shipment, and it's still selling out now. Its second week will be very good over there. It's too early to say anything about WW numbers since, well...we don't have them, which is mainly why I think your original comment was premature. |
Its an exclusive but that doesn't mean it will stop selling for that reason. This kind of logic sounds retarded, no offence.
Japan is just a drop in the ocean compared to the rest of the world. We already know Bloodborne sold over twice as well as Splatoon in its FW in UK. Let's waitr for sales in rest of the world. Bloodborne sold over 1 million in two weeks and could reach 2 million sales soon.
