Thing is, not many of us expected it to start strong but you can bet this thing will have serious legs. It's also, seemingly critically receptive, so given its overwhelmingly positive reception so far from the MAINSTREAM press, everything is pointing to a major hit. This will be a game that can transcend usual games' limitations and boundaries.

I see nothing that show its a hit, except for being on #1 hourly chart on  amazon which is expected since almost any switch release with a bit of hype makes it there, now if it moves up to number 3-4 on the monthly ranking then i can see your point.

Well you jumped the gun and said it would flop, so I'm assuming others are allowed to predict the opposite no? 

i'm not making a prediction based on amazon software rankings. 

Neither am i. At least solely anyway. I'm surprised it's had such a presence on an online sales site tbh. It's not that kind of a title, so to get to #1 is still quite an achievement in my book. No, it's because of both the surprise interest on Amazon and the positive press coverage. Pretty sure the former is down to the latter too. So, should this continue to be the case then i'm pretty confident we have a hit on our hands.
