Octopath is tearing up the sales charts and my biggest regret is that I didn't see it coming. I could tell Zelda BotW was going to be the biggest Zelda ever just from the E3 2016 footage, but Octopath was just not on my radar. Now I have to wait to get a copy. Ah well.
The cool thing is how much the Switch is turning into a device for old school gamers. BotW really is a game for old schoolers like myself, but we've also got Sonic Mania, Street Fighter, Bomberman, Puyo Puyo Tetris, Crash Bandicoot, and now Octopath. Hopefully these third parties will get a clue and make more Switch games just for us old schoolers.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
