TOTK continue to dominate

 

[FunkMiller]

GOTY, that's why.

 

[Robb]

Zelda stays on top, well deserved!

 

[GigaBowser]

Game will be in the charts for the next decade like GTA

Nintendos started a revolutions that changed societies

 

[Fess]

No surprise really, everybody I know who’s into gaming is playing TOTK right now, a couple have bought new consoles because of the game as well.
GOTY

No Capcom games at top 10, great!

People celebrating 2 and 3 million sales when Nintendo games are constantly doing double digits with ease.

Fifa

You haven't heard of it?

 

[Woopah]

I reckon it'll lose to Pikmin next week.

 

[kazuyamishima]

People celebrating 2 and 3 million sales when the same 5 Nintendo franchises are constantly doing double digits with ease.

There, fixed for you.

 

[Hudo]

How the fuck is Mario Kart 8 still(?) again(?) on there? It's a really good game but I'd figured that all the Switch owners who wanted to buy Mario Kart would've bought one by now.

I don't think it's ever even had a price cut either.

 

[Hudo]

I don't think it's ever even had a price cut either.

I mean, Nintendo game prices are more stable than most currencies.

 

[Kusarigama]

We need to know how the FF16 numbers are so far

 

[SaintALia]

There, fixed for you.

More than 5:
Mario Kart
Animal Crossing
Zelda
Smash Bros
Super Mario(series-2D and 3D)
Mario Party
Pokemon
Luigi's Mansion
Splatoon
Ring Fit


Though Zelda and Luigi's Mansion are new to the double digit world, and Ring Fit is a new IP. Arms, Captain Toad, Astral Chain are over a million sales, but not perennial sellers-but very few games actually are. Probably Minecraft and GTA can boast that(cross generational and consistent sellers years after release).

 

[Musashipan]

I wonder what is TOKT total sales to date...

 

[LakeOf9]

Man that Switch 2 port of this game will kill

 

[EverydayBeast]

Totk pretty much won game of the year 2023 folks.

 

[GigaBowser]

The important is that you believe it.

BOTW is still on the charts and thats a 2017 games this is faster selling my friends and puts Nintendos back at #1 WW hardwares

I mean...unless people are expecting Starfield to be better than TOTK then yeah, pretty much.

Spoiler: .

It wont be

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

For sales? I think Hogwarts still has TotK beat, right?

 

[Fake]

Someone still curious about what game will be GOTY?

There is no competition at this point.

For sales? I think Hogwarts still has TotK beat, right?

And will still release on NS near to the end of year.

 

[ADiTAR]

And will still release on NS near to the end of year.

If it's as good a port as SWitcher, I'll def buy it. Love magic stuff and enjoyed the HP movies.

TOTK sellings faster will be passed Hogwarts with digital for holidays for sures

Tears of the Kingdom Has 50% Higher Launch Sales than Hogwarts Legacy

The game became the highest boxed video game launch of the year in the country.

I don’t think TotK will pass it

So Hogwarts is GOTY?

 

[blacktout]

There, fixed for you.

There are ten or eleven franchises (depending on how you count) on the Switch alone that have sold more than ten million units, with another one (Switch Sports) almost certain to cross the line the next time Nintendo reports sales numbers.

I really don't understand your comment at all. Can you name any publisher with more franchises that have broken ten million this generation? Hell, can you name any publisher with more 10 million+ selling franchises across all of gaming history?

IDK if it will, but I'll be playing for a while... I haven't beaten Ganondorf and dropped the game for now, but I know I'll go back to it every number of weeks or months to do more stuff like my cozy game. I have no rush to finish it, basically no other game get that status from me.

kids and their switches need those carts

Nintendo's wild strategy of "just make good games" somehow pays off again!

they are doomed!!!!

If it did 10 million in three days, it's got to be way beyond 20 now.

 

[Fake]

Who would imagine making good games could make profit?
TOTK, MK8 and even GTAV keep selling like no end and devs making stupid games and blaming gamers for their mistakes.

Imagine that.

with dropoffs like 70%ish for most titles, I'm gonna assume it's around 15m.

I think Hogwarts definitely belongs in the conversation for Game of the Year. Just like Final Fantasy 16. The conversation will be short because the question will be, are either better than Zelda, and the answer is no.

Comes down to taste. I enjoyed a few games this year more than ToTK

I think it’ll win the media awards though, it’s the highest “rated” (overrated?) game this year

Either way a lot of people seem to be making an argument that sales is the biggest factor, which I think shouldn’t be a factor at all

I think only Starfield has a chance. I do worry that they showed a lot of systems but not really moment to moment gameplay, and the fact that they didn't let anyone play it but IGN. They are confident in it so hopefully it'll deliver.

I’m damn certain that Starfield will be my game of the year, but I seriously doubt it will beat out Zelda I most places.

 

[FunkMiller]

I think it'll be higher than that. 120 million Switchs worldwide, and the attach rate for Zelda games is enormous.

Sales plays a part, because they’re looked at almost as a validation of a great game, especially if the game continues to sell past its first week. First week sales are die hards for the most part. Sales weeks/months after release show something. I can’t put my finger on it, but it might show something about quality.

How the fuck is Mario Kart 8 still(?) again(?) on there? It's a really good game but I'd figured that all the Switch owners who wanted to buy Mario Kart would've bought one by now.

Because theres a whole expansion pass of new tracks still been released so it brings new people into buying it, probably each time a new wave drops some people finally jump on board.

Plus there is no doubt Mario Movie magic happening.

Suitable and fun for all age, a staple for friend/family gathering, more tracks incoming.

You can never go wrong with this game.
