| Sephiran said: One interesting thing is that in recent times i have compared Bananza's Amazon review count from many different countries as well as the amount of reviews from different major US retailers with Astro Bot amount of reviews, and DK Bananza is fairly decently below Astro Bot's number of reviews everywhere outside Amazon Japan. And now that we know that the actual sales between Bananza and Astro Bot is more in Bananza's favor, it means either Bananza gets fewer amount of reviews from buyers than Astro Bot, or Mat Piscatella's recent comment about digital increasing for Nintendo could mean that in western markets Bananza actually has a higher digital ratio than Astro Bot. Astro Bot did also have an unusually high physical ratio for a PS game. |
…or it could be that Astro has been out for an entire GotY & holiday season (and then some), whereas DKBananza has been out for only three months? Also, I wouldn’t correlate Amazon reviews to physical sales across an entire market. That just seems like a surefire way to draw spurious conclusions. DKBananza has already eclipsed Astro’s numbers (according to estimated figures for the latter).
