It's true you've done no harm here and tbone is acting a bit out of line, but you know exactly why! At this point it's hard to blame people for assuming anything and everything you say in a Nintendo thread is Nintendo downplay. That's just the reputation you've built up mate. :L

No, I don't know why he's being like that. Please explain it to me.

I just did... Not really sure where you think feigning ignorance is gonna get ya, but meh whatevs!

Wow, somebody better hide the Hindus cus this thread has a lot of beef XD
OT: I agree, Arms will hit 3 million. It seems like the type of game that'll have really long legs,

The game will be a good seller. The system will have sold a couple million by ARMS' release and the attach rate for major games will be very high because 'If you ain't buying what Nintendo is selling there just ain't much else'.

I don't see why people are writing it off with such low predictions... it depends on what we see, but if this is a truly fun and unique experience I could see it selling a few million.

3 million doesn't seem outrageous to me, and I'd be shocked if it didn't top 1 million.

It will do better than Punch Out.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I think it will end up within 2.5/3 mil life time.
Especially if Switch is going to keep the momentum up!



Switch!!!

It will do Wonderful 101 numbers ;)

The weird thing about this game is that when it was first revealed I was uninterested. Over time, that changed quickly! Anyone else share this?



NINTENDO

I think ARMS can be a success, a moderate one, like 2-3 million. Even then, I consider it very good. Did Pikmin or Metroid ever achieve that? I'm hoping this one will
