Lets not make up our minds 4 MONTHS before launch, shall we. Four months ago kirby wasnt charting. Doesnt mean its going to flop.

Most games flop on Xbox and a colorful platformer is really not what that crowd is into. 

Errr...  According to VGC, a total of 104 games have sold 600+ thousands on X1.  And if we compare that to the 172 games on PS4, and 8 games on the 3DS, then I would say is not that bad considering the more than double install base of those systems.

EDIT:  My bad, I made a mistake while looking at the 3DS numbers.  It is 92 games.

"Flop" is a relative term. For instance, if CoD sold 600k it would be considered a flop. If a game like Undertale sold 600k it would be considered a success. 

Btw I don't think most games are a flop on Xbox One, their sales just pale against PS4.

We don’t know the costs tho. When I say “flop” for instance I mean like... something below 800k. It’s more like flop compared to the other versions and game’s potential. We’re talking about units, not money.

The game already sold over 5 million on PS4 and the XBO version will have to compete with Switch version as well, 800k would be a very good result.

 

Do you think Skyrim flopped on Switch? Because based on your criteria it did.

No, I don't think it flopped. Skyrim is at 600k according to VGChartz, without digital, and it did that in like 3 months. It will easily pass a million and go beyond. Btw, it makes it even more impressive because Skyrim is a 2011 game that got remasters a year ago on current gen consoles and are cheaper on them as well.  Crash, on the other hand, is an one year old game that will release simultaneously on Switch, Xbox One and PC, so yeah.. if it does 800k or less, I'd consider it a flop. Btw, I wouldn't consider Skyrim on Switch a big success or anything, it's just performing decently.

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Jeez chill guys. I was refering to games outside of the big blockbuster super marketed franchises just didn't write it idk i was tired lol it was 3 am.

 

We were talking about a colorful game that also happens to be a platformer and there is no way it will sell amazingly on Xb1. When you look at its track record, games like Lucky's tale barely sold 5k physical so even if the digital ratio is groundbreaking i can't see it being a success with all the promo it got. Crash isn't looking to chart high either. Sea of thieves isnt doing really well. Almost everything that isn't a main franchise or has guns and blood struggles on the platform. Its honestly a miracle Ori did okay. 



Kirby is already 22th in yearly.
Bayo 2 is 24th .

So Kirby moved up, nice! I checked yesterday and it was #24 on yearly. I'm curious to see FW sales.

I really wish we knew attach ratio for these consoles. I would guess that xb1 has a higher rate than ps4.
