>>37063715I'm super confident Smash will BTFO that record in no time. I was originally not buying Smash after the shitty last direct, but I might buy it day one if it means getting Smash to literally smash Pokemon Let's Go Pee on first week sales.
That said, I predict....6-8 mil. Gen 8 is coming, and that may deter sales, depending on how the fans react. Gen 8 has to literally blow people away for them to realize how shitty LGPE is. AC is also next year, and assuming that goes well, it too will hurt LGPE in the long run.
And don't forget that reviews are still important. A game may sell well, but that doesn't mean people ultimately enjoyed playing it or only played it partially through. I know that doesn't matter cause once a sale happens, it's final, what the player does with it is on them and means jackshit to the devs.
We need to stop doing shitty 0/10 reviews, and give proper criticism instead of looking and sounding like blithering butthurt baboons. Give it at minimum a 5/10 because of the cut content.
