In 2028

In absolutely best case scenarios

The digital data is in. Hogwarts Legacy's opening week was 56% bigger across Europe than Elden Ring. It's the biggest game launch outside of FIFA & Call of Duty since Red Dead Redemption 2.

It backs up the theory that gamers are gravitating towards the big brands at the moment

Rather than cope, reddit seems to be mainly mad about the Elden Ring comparison

>Oh, has Elden Ring been a best selling book series and hit movie franchise with literal theme parks?

>What an outrageously stupid post

>who cares - Elden Ring is an infinite better game

>People are going to down vote this but in 5 years Elden Ring will be a game people still bring up in comparisons where no one will be talking about Hogwarts Legacy as having any lasting influence on games.

>Most popular game ever... If you ignore every country outside Europe. Thought I'd take a look at just how many copies had actually sold to make an actual comparison and you can't, there's no actual numbers anywhere. just article after article after article about the percent of sales across Europe or even just in the UK compared to the last Harry Potter game.

>If you can't even provide numbers for the single cherry picked region let alone global sales that's not the best sign.

>But those girls with deep voices at /r/Gamingcirclejerk told me this will fail

> JK Rowling is personally funding trans death squads!

> What a grand and intoxicating innocence.

Good thing I just figured out switch emulation. I'm ready boys

On top of it they release it one month after monster Hunter rise, on same month as games like Gayry Potter, Atomic Heart, Yakuza Ishin, Octopath 2, Final Fantasy rythm and at the begin of next month comes out nioh3 and then resident evil 4 demake. So webs have enough games.

To me it’s looks like virtue signaling game a bit like Activision did with Sekiro. Like they know the game would fail and then they can say oh my we tried so we are back at micro transactions shiiiet. Ion Activision case they probably didn’t even wanted the game to succeed because they don’t even try to make sekiro 2 even though game was massive success, because releasing a skin for warzone require less effort and risk than gaykiro 2

If that doesn't work https://ppubs.uspto.gov/pubwebapp/static/pages/ppubsbasic.html with patent number: 20230041807

It's basically a scheme to make microtransaction items 1. limited availability and 2. rentals and 3. NFTs because IDK that must make it novel enough to patent

I'm sure this won't make games even less fun for everyone but the biggest paypigs, but people will still totally play them

Side notes, but patent art is always so janky looking and I love-hate it

While Bad Guy learned to dance, Boss A studied the blade

That is all for now, back to your pods or discuss video games or whatever. IDK if people even care about weekly threads, but Aevann wanted some and I took the initiative on a monday .

What will it include? Hopefully some bug fixes lmao

Will Starfield be at the Superbowl?? Any good Steamfest Next demos? Why do people care about Hogwarts game? What’s everyone playing? Find out inside! What did the Nintendo Direct mean by this? @Aevann I’m sure other gaming related stuff happened.

Dilatus Tranius?

Looks like it only half worked since I can still clock xir's voice.

Get on it

Take a look at the following sales numbers. I didn't even realize this.

Mario Party - 2.7 million

Mario Party 2 - 2.48 million

Mario Party 3 - 1.91 million

Mario Party 4 - 2.46 million

Mario Party 5 - 2.17 million

Mario Party 6 - 1.63 million

Mario Party Advance - No data

Mario Party 7 - 2.08 million

Mario Party 8 - 8.85 million

Mario Party DS - 9.31 million

Mario Party 9 - 3.11 million

Mario Party: Island Tour - 2.95 million

Mario Party 10 - 2.27 million

Mario Party: Star Rush - No data

Mario Party: The Top 100 - No data

Super Mario Party - 18.79 million

Mario Party Superstars - 9.38 million

I bet you're thinking, wow, why are the last two so big? Simple:

They gave them online. Pretty much everything 7+ and the 3DS games could have had online too but they just said frick it nope for no reason.

The second they removed the chance time space AND gave the series online play it skyrockets into the stratosphere in terms of sales.

Just like fans said it would. Nintendo is so stupid sometimes. I mean fans of the series have been playing the games online with emulators for years before this.

Hint: it's because they're supremacists. Something you cry about all the time on Reddit.
