How realistic is it that Expedition 33 could sell "a conservative 6" million?

How realistic is it that Expedition 33 could sell "a conservative 6" million?

More realistic than AC:Shadows being the most successful title in the series.

I mean yeah, but... huh...

Pretty realistic, the game has legs so it won't sell super fast but it will keep selling and eventually reach very high numbers, like Nier Automata or Persona 5 for instance

Just sayin, if Ubisoft was less lame and gay Clair Obscur could've been an Ubisoft title. For all the good and ill that implies.

oy vey muh 6 million

Ubisoft was less lame and gay

Incredibly big ask. How can they have their viking game and their samurai game WITHOUT black homosexuals?

Not that unrealistic. It's a good game and word of mouth is working well.

Isn't this shit dead in the water? It's fallen to 11th place for the PS5 on Amazon, and once Doom comes out it's never going to be heard from again.

Pretty realistic.

As said, the game has legs.

It's still the #2 top seller game on steam, only behind Counter Strike (and the Steam deck), despite being only 50$, beating big releases like Oblivion or the upcoming Doom. Surviving and outwrestling Oblivion, which just released two days before it, is already an achievement in itself.

Having glowing reviews and extremely positive word-to-mouth among the player base praising it to kingdom come, I don't see the sales going down anytime soon. It has chances to become a cult classic.

The reason it's fallen on Amazon, dumbass, is because there aren't any more copies of the game left to buy.

the physical copies ran out, restock is happening later in may

Oblivion, which just released two days before it

I still think this shit was a conspiracy. You are not selling me for one flat second that Ubisoft, and other AAA developers, don't do each other favors in sinking potential up-an-coming competition. I'll never be able to prove it but I refuse to believe Ubisoft didn't wink at Todd to drop the remaster solely to kill all hype for the newly established company that just so happens to be mostly your ex-employees.
And no, I will NOT, listen to "reason" on this.

listen to reason on this. They are competitors. If one goes under it benefits the other so they would never work together

So I don't know about all that, but I do know that EA either intentionally or unintentionally caused Titanfall 1 and 2 to fall well below expected sales numbers by putting its release date inbetween major CoD and Medal of Honor releases. Of course this is the same shit that happens like when Disney tanked Treasure Planet because of internal politics of the company and then current head of the company having personal beef with the director of the movie.

he forgot the game came out on game pass before saying that

#2 top seller game on steam

i really wish other companies were this transparent with their sales
neither nintendo, xbox or playstation have a system like this

if ubisoft are willing to return the favor to bethesda there's no reason to assume they woulnd't
plus

competitors

does bethesdaslop and ubislop really overlap that much?

if ubisoft are willing to return the favor

What favor would they return?

maybe in 10 more years seeing how it hasn't even beaten FF16 yet after a couple of weeks. FF16 sold 3 millions within 1 week and FF7 Rebirth 2 within 1 week. E33 has already been out for over 2 weeks and only reached 2 million like a day or 2 ago and sales will continue dawdle from this point onward.

dropping one of their games right before a bethesda competitor released a title?

Too bad that 16 and Rebirth haven't made profits from all that revenue.

Release dates are set months in advance sometimes longer. This stealth drop they did is extremely rare and not some norm you can expect Ubisoft to do

Ubisoft's name taints everything by association. Guarantee this wouldn't have sold anywhere near as well had it been a Ubisoft title, people are that sick of their shit.

e33 reached 2 million in a little more than a week. I'm pretty sure it will surpass Rebirth

Like other anons said, the game got decent legs. And it might even get a boost if it chugs along right into summer sale with the game still in people's mind

Now compare the budgets kek

ehr, it'll drown out when doom releases

make sure to count all the shoes outside gamestop

First-person shooter fans and turn-based RPG fans overlap a lot?

I don't think Doom and E33 would have that much of an overlapping audience.

Hasn't it already? Rebirth stopped at 2m.

posted five minutes ago

You sure like this roach king guy, huh?

rebirth is at 4m+ and will probably end up at 6m after the switch 2 version

but square enix would have announced that

no they wouldn't because they wanted 10m on ps5 alone

Not me personally but my older brothers favourite games are probably ffx, doom 2 and diablo 2

PS5 owners

buying games

LMAO
RUMAO EVEN

rebirth is at 4m+

Headcanon. PS5 player data suggests 2 million players. Recent data, that is. Barely sold on PC at all. Shitch won't boost it to 6 million. It'll still be a failure due to the budget.

6 million

always unbelievable number

Care to explain ?

Ps5 is literally the fortnite & Fifa machine you can play some of your old ass ps4 games on

Nier seems to sell another million copies every year or so, but I don't know if this will have the same staying power.

It will absolutely hit those numbers, the word of mouth went mainstream like Nier Automata. People who've never played a JRPG in their life is playing it. Also it appeals to women which is the secret sauce for getting a huge longterm hit

Man, who would have thought Nier, of all things, would be bigger than modern Final Fantasy. The sweat on her ass must taste like heroine.

I'll never stop being mad about that. It was the perfect blend of traditional and computer generated animation. Now we're stuck with dianey-pixar sameface forever.

best selling game on the entire system has sold 11m

no one else is even close, second place hasn't hit half that

Must be hard to be a PS5 owner in this day and age.

doesn't sound that unrealistic
shit's had momentum for weeks now and has been locked at the top seller lists of pretty much every system that matters

2 million

It flopped.

6m

Doable, if momentum is maintained and it has the legs it looks like it does.

8m

Maaaybe, it would probably need a Switch 2 port to go beyond 6m IMO.

Nier Automata

people just bought nier for the cute ass
