It's going to sell massive numbers as well in spite of the sad boycott attempt. I've never seen Amazon rankings this strong, most of platforms were top 100 on Amazon US for most of the month before release, with PS5 being top 100 for well over a month before release and top 40 for most of the month before it's release. Now here we are between the release date on the deluxe and special editions and there are 6 different SKU's on Amazon US top 100, including 3 in the top 20, even the Switch and last gen versions are selling well and they don't release until April for last gen and July for Switch. And it's not just Amazon US, game is ranked either extremely well or very well on quite alot of other countries' Amazon charts as well, including UK, Australia, Italy, Japan, Germany, France, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, India, Canada, Sweden, and Saudi Arabia. |
I'd say it's selling better because of the boycott. The anti-video game talking points of today are different than in the past, but back then the "video games are turning kids into killers" controversy that was all about violence in video games only ever led to sales boosts for the games that came into the focus.
Ah, ResetEra. The wonderful website where transgender rights were in the thread title of the official general Nintendo megathread because of Cyberpunk, a game that wasn't even releasing on a Nintendo console.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
