It would be the first Warriors doing so. That's why that is something I don't classify as 'obvious'.

your arbitrary comparison is whats irrelevant, I'm actually commenting on what the OP is about, I cant say the same for you. You said, "just accept that amazon is unreliable" where did i say that? and what does that have to do with what I said?  It seems you care because your the one posting about it.  


I dont mind friendly jesting, no problem, but its crazy that some people on here can't even make a comment without some random comment about how another company does it better. 

I still fail to see how my comment was not on-topic....

I'm all for keeping things on-topic but it seems to me like your definition of what's on-topic is kind of arbitrary.

Do we really need new threads for the hourly best sellers on amazon so often? o.O
Hyrule Warriors actually managed #1 for at least a week in Japan so I'm not sure how it managing #6 on Amazon's hourly sellers would indicate anything.


Almost anything can hit the hourly best sellers. I'm sick of threads using it as an indicator.



Love seeing Bloodborne up there, that game looks like it deserves all the success it can get, has been drowned in positive press until now.

nope, not at all, I just made a point about it being consistently in the top ten and how it ranked in best sellers of the year so far and you randomly bring up hardware.  If you want to talk about hardware on Amazon's best sellers list then by all means make a thread about it.

The hell? I never brought up hardware. HW = hyrule warriors.

Your issue is that you assume the worst when you could've easily added 2 and 2 together to get 4. Hyrule Warriors

But this won't be viewed as a warriors game by many. Heck, it apparently got like 40k preorders in the US (yes, I know that VGC preorders aren't reliable, but still) I thonk it's obvious that it'll do more than 200k lifetime in the west, and it doesn't seem like it'll do that in JP. I'll gladly eat crow om this if it somehow sells worse in the west.

I have no idea what Koei has projected for the game, but a Warriors selling better in the West than in Japan will be of interest to them.

ha, my apologies, well, hw is used alot for "hardware."  Also, if you look at the next post the poster is also responding to me about "hardware" so i took the two posts as the same.  That being the case, yes, I'll let you know when and if it does

It would be very interesting, and I think the Zelda brand is strong enough in the West to make it happen.

I do wonder if it'd make them contemplate maybe doing some more western oriented Warriors games, possibly of like European historical stuff (Battle of Hastings etc) or even early US wars.
