Why I posted it? because I think the "head" of Famitsu, knows better than some random user on this site. If he think it has the potential to reach 10m, its def. going to go over 2m..... people proclaiming doom & gloom for MHW are nuts. |
Isn't that a revisionist interpretation of the post you quoted?
Breaking 5 million is a tall order, but it's possible, especially since it's a multiplat. That said, I don't think it will get that high. 2-3 million is my estimate.
^ That doesn't look like a hard prediction of 2 million max.
The appeal to authority argument is pretty lazy and unconvincing, especially when one observes the available data, known facts about the series, and acknowledges that the guy one is citing is the head of a magazine publication company, not a sales analyst. It's like saying "I think the electronics analyst Michael Pachter knows better than some random user on this site" except worse.
