Not a chance, COMG has increasingly become more and more irrelevant for determining real world performance of games.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
I mean, with 8 days left YW4 was at 65 points. SMM2 is currently behind that.
We'll just have to see how it plays out, but it's not exactly looking great at least.

Chris1964 on Resetera (hes pretty much the Benji of Japan sales discussion) said day 1 shipments could exceed 500k based on preorders.

Appreciate more data points always, but I'm more interested in retail sales than shipments.
Pawapro is ranked #11 and #37 on Amazon JP and SMMM2 is ranked #12 and #38 on Amazon JP right now with both releasing within a day of eachother. Even among Switch games it's not exactly looking great with about a week left.

Well Doraemon on Switch did around 22 points on its last day. Got 49points in FW = 42k on Famitsu. So I think we will see SMM2 over 100points in FW and get over 100k in Famitsu
Pocky Lover Boy!
So if Yo-kai Watch is dead, does it become a yōkai? I'm not familiar with Japanese folklore.

When has Amazon JP ever been a good indicator for FW sales?
Shipments give a better idea of a games performance than COMG or Amazon JP. Chris bases his predictions on how the game is tracking at different retailers all over Japan, he is usually pretty spot on when talking about sales.
There is literally nothing that suggests SMM2 is going to underperform.

Literally nothing? Welp, no use arguing with the blind.
There's an idea of minimizing other data points, but pretending they flat out don't exist? That's amusing.
