I think their best sellers updates on Tuesday. Best to wait when it updates before anyone make any claims.

Don't know how well it would do across consoles if it was multiplat to start but I feel like FF16 and the FF7 Remake trilogy are the last FF games and possibly some of the last Square Enix games to be exclusive to one console at the start.
Multiplatform seems like the way to go.

The game is well priced and it's a big, epic fantasy game with still very nice visuals, one of the best video game soundtracks ever (well remixed from one of the best ever) and one of the best storylines in video game history. It kinda can fill a bit of that void of no new Zelda if you're a Nintendo fan willing to try something else.

Debuted to no.2 on the UK retail chart too looks like, just under Mario Kart World for the week.

Good sign considering the UK isn't a very strong market for Nintendo, relatively speaking.

The fact that it came on a cartridge made it even more poignant!

Xbox sales aren't exactly Limit Breaking. Let's call it "character building." Still, genuinely glad more people get to experience it.

I agree! Its time nintendo releases there exclusives on every platform.

I wouldn't hold my breath for that to happen any time soon. Nintendo, more so than PS or Xbox, rely on their first party exclusives to sell their hardware.

Forget the "selling hardware" aspect of it.

There's one reason, even bigger than the amount of money in hardware sales the get, why Nintendo will not release their games on other platforms for a very, very long time - Probably not during our lifetimes.

The protection of their Intellectual Properties. They are so ferociously protective and image-conscious of their IPs, they give Disney a run for their money. (Imagine a lawsuit/court case where the two are pitted against each other? Holy shit! They outta put those hearings on PPV, they'd get their money back on their lawyer fees!)

Now picture the PC modding community getting their hands (legally) on Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, etc. It'd be an absolute nightmare for them. 

Even if we get to a point where it may be more profitable for Nintendo to release their games on more platforms, they still won't do it for THAT very reason. At most, they might release them on PlayStation and Xbox (If that's still around in 10 years).

Hasn't everyone at least seen a playthrough of this by this point? Or have Nintendo players managed to avoid those, hoping to get a port?
