Why wouldn't Octopath top next week's chart?

But since it's an exclusive you can't even compare it to the multiplatform 3rd party releases.

But ryuzaki's comparison made sense?

Comparing how Ys 8 sold among the Vita/PS4/Switch makes sense in terms of the console split, yes. Whereas with Octopath what is there to compare to? Its exclusive to one system so we have no idea if it would have sold better on another system or not.
