| Veknoid_Outcast said: I think some people are overestimaging Overwatch's numbers on home consoles. I'm sure it will do very well on PC, but I'm not sure it will find an audience on Xbox and PS4. There's a high skill ceiling in Overwatch. And the game demands communication, teamwork, and mastering several different characters. Nothing about that translates to mass appeal, unfortunately. |
The console market is the trickiest part about overwatch, but I personally think overwatch has a great chance to be the game to play over the summer. the fact that it encourages teamwork means that it is an amazing game to play with friends, and from my experience in the open beta, solo queueing went well. The game is also certainly more forgiving than call of duty where it's typically the first to react that gets the kill (some people like this and that's fine).
