Kirby desperately trying to stay on top and fend off Zelda

You left Zelda at 86 points for 3 days now. It's at 94. Increased by 3 points the last day.

Corrected, thanks.

On a mid-week day, Zelda is the lone game posting quite the results. Wonder how's the launch for this game gonna be now that we live in the post-BOTW era. Seems to me like a 500K launch could be more than possible !

Also for a previous game that overperformed the expectations of Square Enix back then, I truly feel like the move to launch the sequel to Octopath Traveler on all console has hurt it sales potential due to the honestly meager marketing it is getting from Square at the moment. Look at the non-existent PS SKU's in the chart, this simply does not bode well for the overall sales.

I feel like these titles were marketed much better when Nintendo had the temporary console exclusivity deal.

Question.

Since it unfortunately looks like TheDX isn't returning.

Is it important for this thread to have an active OP or not? Are you guys fine with carrying on as is? Or would you like an active OP?

He hasn't returned since all the post were deleted. Sadly his post weren't restored, all the older charts were lost except for the first post here. As to your question, I think is not important as long as the thread carries on.

It definitely helps on days where stuff actually happens mostly. But Chicho does a good job at updating the numbers, so the thread can continue to run as it is
