| S.Peelman said: I don’t get why this is a debate. TotK sold over 20M in ten months in a franchise that had an all-time sales record of under 9M (TP GC plus Wii, remakes and remasters from a decade later don’t count) before BotW, and a franchise known for having a second entry sell much less than a first entry on any given system. It also has a few million left in the tank. That’s ginormous growth. TotK selling sell is proof of nothing, it’s par for the course. I don’t see why anyone would have expected otherwise, neither here nor at Nintendo, this game has performing exactly to my personal expectations at least. |
If TotK released within 2-3 years of BotW (like, say, MM) I'd say, sure, mostly same assets and engine, few different mechanics, they sell what they sell - no big deal, it's a mega expansion of sorts anyway. But it took them 6 years to release TotK, as a full-fledged sequel (which is not quite really), on an installed base of 130+ million devices, and still not hit anywhere near BotW numbers. Yeah, something's not right there from my POV.
