| RolStoppable said: They probably expect at least 1m. Problem is that the DNA of Skyrim isn't especially compatible with the DNA that the market expects from Nintendo. There are two main branches of video games: 1. Arcades, their gameplay being absorbed by consoles of Atari, Nintendo and Sega. 2. Home computers, dominated by games that would have no chance to survive in arcades. A lot of this distinction has been blurred over the decades - especially over the course of the most recent decade - but a distinct feel that players recognize at least on a subconscious level remains. Skyrim's roots aren't hard to figure out, so the success of Breath of the Wild doesn't mean all that much. People who go into Skyrim expecting another Zelda are going to quickly reach the conclusion that Skyrim sucks. Selling a million copies will be far from easy. |
So, no chance of a biased review of Skyrim?
