Yokai Watch isn't Borderline SS tier, it is completely SS tier.

Metal Gear Solid is borderline B tier, GTA is borderline A tier. Call of Duty is bordline C tier or C tier.



You can probably add Dance Dance Revolution to the SS tier as arcades are still a thing in japan.

Yokai Watch is only borderline Because we dont know what will happen with it. I mean Brain Age/Wii Sports were also SS Tier, but it was obvious it wasnt going to be for long. The last IP from Level 5 that was huge was Izumi and that you can say was B tier yet that fell off fast.

 

Also i forgot to add it to OP but C Tier and up are 450k-500k+ Franchises. If Its under 400k-450k we be here all day lol

 

Metal Gear is probably C Tier and GTA is definitely B Tier or borderline of it. COD doesn't make it.

If MGS is borderline B tier than Zelda should be C tier. Zelda is pretty low in Japan nowadays.

Zelda might be C Tier, i put it borderline between B and C. Its hard to tell but i'll put in C Tier. MM/OoT remakes sold extremely well and ALBW didnt do that bad.

Nowadays, GTA is bigger than Resident Evil. GTA V has sold over 1 million. Even if you don't agree with it being bigger than Resident Evil, it is still at the very least B tier. CoD isn't under 400k, it is over. It should be bordeline C.



@Title No, Splatoon cannot and will not. This whole explosion of hope for the game reminds me when people thought MK8 would make the Wii U competitive in the west it isn't going to happen, people are really creating unrealistic expectations for this IP.



not sure, why you put zelda in c tier only
spaltoon is just game so far. lets wait how this will turn out

Splatoon has been shattering every expectation so far and has been serving sour grapes since E3 2014 (not refering to you here).
