What does it matter for you how much copies its going to sell if its a good game?  

Also the media was Quick jumping the gun against the PS4 and japanese games when godzilla came out but is now completley silent about this game, what a suprise?

Because if it sells well it will bring futher games in the series to the west.

It's a great series of games and I want it to suceed but as Iv'e mentioned this before but I really think with the price tag they have dug their own grave at winning sales at anyone but the most hardcore of fans.

That game and this game is not going to be similar.

Remember Civilization V? Remove technological progression, complex construction / unit management and such from it. Then in that place, put Hero management simulator.

Entire game's difficulty hinges on having more skilled and talented officers under your boots than having better resource pool. So you will spent majority of game play on micro managing what your officers are supposed to do, their happiness, training, and loyalty. (Depending on the game.)

Also, they will allow you to create custom officer that you can use to become a new power, or just added as an extra officer you could use.

Depending on which entry in the series you play, it has different focus. Sphere of Influence focuses on Diplomacy, and nerfed management and combat aspect. Kinda forces on you though. On higher difficulty, enemies will cheat blatantly, like gaining twice as more resource than you do - making direct combat very difficult. (I didn't exactly played it, but I know someone who does. But this opinion is based on version without PK.)
