Idk man, that lineup is good and all of those games will likely do well but its not really any better than the previous years lineup. Kingdom Hearts could do 1 million but the rest will likely do in the 100-300k range and FF7 isnt coming this year.

*cut*

The 2018 lineup in terms of sellers really isnt any different to 2016 or 2017 with the exception of Monster Hunter.

Meh, just getting each games to do ~200K a piece is fine until they hold out when KHIII releases ... 

Plus, Code Vein could outperform expectations when games like DSIII did over 400K in Japan and One Piece is a big franchise where a Dynasty Warriors spin-off was able to sell over 800K on the PS3 in Japan ... 

Yeah, each game doing ~200k and KHIII doing ~1m would be fine but they arent going to create any massive YOY gains because the last 2 years had a bunch of 100-400k selling games along with a massive ~1 million seller as well.

One Piece likely wont sell anywhere close to the first Pirate Warriors which is by far the best selling game in the series history. Most games in the series sell closer to 300-400k.

 

Monster Hunter is the only game capable of giving massive gains and we already saw what type of gains in caused, about 200k.
