Megiddo said: I'm super interested in seeing how Civ VI ends up doing on Switch. I'd have to think that the crossover between 4/5 X gamers and Switch owners is quite thin. That said the idea of playing Civ VI on an airplane without needing to buy an expensive laptop appeals to me greatly. So if others are like me (with more disposable income) I could see Civ VI maybe not doing very well in terms of pure software sales, but actually widening the currently relatively narrow demographic focus for the Switch. |
I would really love for Civ 6 to do well. I know I am going to buy it, but I can't predict how many other people will buy it. Historically strategy gamers on consoles have been a very passionate but niche crowd. If a good strategy/tactics game comes out, then the resale price will just stay high forever and continue to go up, but rarely does it sell a lot of copies. Strategy gamers also seem like a group that cares very little about graphics. If the gameplay is good, then that is all that really matters. So it is a good demographic for Switch, but I just don't know how many strategy gamers there are nowadays on consoles. If there is any game that they will go for, then Civ 6 is it.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
