I was the fastest selling XBLA game it's first week and it took a while to hit 2 million but those sales came from word of mouth alone so that pretty good.

Considering that this game is getting multiplayer a bigger budget and is coming out early next year so it won't have much competition it could do very well.

 

I can't agree with you on Sea of Thieves though. It doesn't look like a high budget title, it's marketing won't be that big outside of Microsoft events, and Quantum Break and Halo Wars 2 had pretty massive marketing pushes, both flopped heavily. Recore had a similar marketing to Sea of Thieves and that also flopped. 

 

According ot an insider Sea of Thieves is costing lots of money to make http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=228106253&postcount=1343

If its true it makes sense it would get lots of advertising so its a success.
