You can’t really compare them like that when the Switch was only about to launch back then vs having 120+ Million Switches out in the world rn.
I’m so ready for the game.
Just 8 more weeks!
Everyone told me that $70 price tag would stop them from buying it… what happened?
I have not been more excited for a game since, well botw.
I believe it’ll be so worth it as we all know. However, there’s also a huge expectation from gamers for Nintendo to fulfill. They seem confident they’ll deliver. BOTW is their base.
I would pre order if I could get my hands on a limited edition smh
I would hope so people didn’t have Switches when they pre-ordered BotW
I find this interesting because I feel like BotW was way more hyped.
And people wonder why they’re not showing much. They don’t have to and the game will be better received when people play it for themselves instead of seeing it beforehand.
I pre-ordered it before the price announcement on Amazon for 47.99 in December. I consider myself very lucky.
Im replaying breath of the wild in preperation for playing it. Forgot how much i liked this game. My only gripe is the weapon durability. Its not that feasible that my finely crafted boulder smasher breaks after hitting a mushy goblin with it 20 times.
I think some people like me didn’t preorder BotW because we weren’t sure we were getting switches. I’m also curious if this is combined WiiU and Switch numbers as I know 2 people who got it on WiiU because they didn’t want to struggle to find a Switch.
I haven’t pre-ordered a game in many years, but made an exception for this one. Two physical copies for me and my stepson.
Should hope it passed breath of the Wild… I mean there are like 10x more switch consoles out there now than switch and wiiu combined back when botw released….
Just FYI, this is pre order numbers at a small chain of stores in Japan only
As the graph shows, they literally only have just over 250 preorders at all of their stores combined. While theyve always been a decent indicator of first week sales in Japan you have to know how to interpret it.
But yeah TotK should have the biggest launch week in franchise history and will go on to be the 2nd best selling game in the franchise before the end of the year. You didnt really need the COMG charts to tell you that tho
This is great and all, but where did they get the data to make that graph?
they’ve shown enough… I wanna find out about the game while playing it
So much for sending a message that $70 is unacceptable. Guess Nintendo is joining the $70 club now too.
I’m still waiting for reviews, there’s too many quality of life things that are make or break for me.
I just don’t see any reason to be excited by this game so far, and I loved BOTW. They’ve barely shown anything interesting. I’m still skeptical
Remember. We know next to nothing about this game.
I wish I could pre order but collectors editions sell out in seconds and with the amount of hours I spent on BoTW I already know I want the collectors edition..
wow, neat
hope it doesn’t suck
To be fair, The Switch’s install base is massive now. When BotW came out, you either had to be 1 of the 3 people who owned a Wii U or lucky enough to get a Switch at launch(Yep, there was a shortage).
It also isn’t a split launch. TP was on GameCube and Wii. BotW was on Wii U and Switch.
I’m really hoping the story is good. My only issue with the previous one was the lack luster story. If they nail Ganon down it would probably be an instant 10/10 for me.
Keep in mind before launch of botw people thought all of the map was just the Great Plateau,similar to saying totk is the same and no new content
I think the vouchers with 70$ tag helped. I only preordered for that reason.
What is the point of a pre-order? Genuinely curious.
Why do we still preorder DIGITAL games. There’s no stock or inventory. GameStop won’t run out.
We don’t need to.
I hope it’s a good game that delivers on what it promises but as consumers we signal that we really will pay before we have seen a product.
