I see I leave for a few days and come back to not much at all.

Hello Hyrule Warriors. At least you're avoiding complete bomb territory.

Hello Neptunia. I'm sure your points to sales ratio is going to be absolutely abysmal.

Well its not out of the blast zone yet, but i have a feeling we are looking into HW on COMG Prematurely. 

1. Though not the best "Excuse" at least it has charted for a WiiU Title (Games like LoZ WW HD did not on COMG).

2. The Popular SKU isnt here. Though it might not matter much, it could be a huge factor.

3. Digitally its much cheaper well at least by 1k Yen :P

Also for the longest I said expect 40k-60k FW, it doesn't matter if its a Musao game (they do wat? 200k-300k FW normally?), I gave the example of SM3DW not even breaking 100k FW, dunno why some people would think HW needs to do around 150k FW O.o

Well here's hoping it does at least 60k, but i think 40k+ is safe, and i think legs will be decent. The West will embrace this game alit better than the jaanese

I don't think it's going to bomb, but I still think it's going to underperform.  We keep seeing so many excuses for why it didn't show up, and they all hold some weight, but 17 points for the only charting SKU less than 2 weeks before launch is pretty poor.

And the reason why is simply the type of game it is.  Using SM3DW is a terrible example.  Mario platformers always have really long legs.  Heck, Nintendo platformers all have really long legs.

Musou games do not have legs.  Zelda games do not have legs.  Musou game x Zelda game = ???

It needs to have a strong first week because it will fade quickly.

Yes i can agree with Underperform. I think realistically the developers would want a 100k+ opening. One thing i dont get is some people misinterpret the 1mil WW sales is not expectations :-/ 

Anywayz, i dont think judging this game on COMG pre orders is the best thing to do. We'll see soon. And cant count it out if it does only get 20-25points on final day (Ex: Yoshi New Island= 28points but 59k+ opening).

Lastly i dont think we should just that this game wont have legs cuz its a Musou game and LoZ games do have legs (comparing it to Mario legs isnt fair cuz those are God like legs :p
