Created a script so that it pulls the ranking of the games throughout all the amazon sites. GoW in JP ranking still trying to figure it that out because it has an age restriction. No Labo in MX 

looks like a labo flop.

but you said Amazon wasn't a good indicator of sales overall hmmmmm...

How hard is it for you to understand that young kids and parents are not the type of demographic that preorder games in droves?

who is the demographic for kirby or splatoon? you seem to not understand, labo is not even in top 100 amazon, thats means nobody gives a shit about it.

Kirby-fans of 2D platformers

Splatoon-fans of online shooters

 

Those are traditional games, Labo is a very blue ocean product, not comparable at all.

Obviously it is now that a game he wants to flop isnt charting high

nope it's just unheard of for switch new releases not to be charting high on amazon.

But again, Labo doesnt fall into the category of traditional games so comparing it like one doesnt make much sense.

Not kids, that's for sure. Otherwise it would have been called Call of Duty or something like that (jk )

Speaking of Splatoon, what did it sell first week? How many copies did it sell LTD? And how many thought it would flop harder than TW101? Splatoon didn't really set the world on fire before launch, it just kept selling and selling.

God of war with insane reviews. If it wasn't already number 1 it would have been after today.

Thats awesome, do you happen to know the previous record for PS4 exclusive? Is it Uncharted 4?

 

Edit: From Uncharted 4 wiki, "The game sold more than 2.7 million copies worldwide in the first week after its release, and became the fastest-selling game developed by a first-party Sony studio for the PlayStation 4 in the PAL region and North America."

 

NPD had it at 828k, i believe thats 3 weeks of sales though.
