Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity ships 3 mil (including digital) - Already the Best Selling Musou Game Ever

I wonder what is the common thing here with great selling titles for them :P
yeah this, BotW2 launch is gonna be amazing.
It will do good, it probably can go as high as 20mil since BotW will be close to 35mil lifetime.
5mil is the floor if it's a nov release
Doesn't matter if it's sold through. There's not millions sitting on shelves. The game could end up being front loaded but even if it only sells just that shipment that's really impressive.
I think the next mosou games won't benefit much if at all tbh. They really advertised this heavily as a follow up to BOTW rather than a mosou.
The power of the Zelda brand. Wish the rest of the Musou games got as much love, but what can you do?
botw2 launch is going to be amazing. I think the sales will depend on a variaty of factors but ultimately if the quality is there and it launches alongside a upgraded Switch I can see it do similar numbers to botw actually.
Not sure about Dynasty Warriors, but I assume Musou based on popular worldwide IPs would sell a lot. Imagine how big a Dragon Ball Musou would be.
I think this release also have a chance on boosting the first Hyrule Warriors sales.
It's a fantastic action game - it's definitely not mindless hack and slash. Lots of variety, expressive gameplay and interesting moment-to-moment decision-making. It's deserving of being a BotW-themed game, even though the original is still in a different league quality-wise (not exactly a fair comparison considering budget, time and development goals =P ).
Glad it's doing well. I can see it going a lot higher. Let's hope they find a way to smooth out the framerate a little, though!

Well deserved, the game is great.
Also, the game sold at launch 324% more than the original Wii U Hyrule Warriors.
But it also didn't sold as much as tradicional Zelda games. (43% lower than the Link's Awakening remake).

Incredible performance. The 2M team was a little bit wrong heh. Here's hoping the 5M+ team will have to concede to the 10M+ as well, the game deserves it!
KT has benefited a ton from the Switch success. The relationship with Nintendo seems to be as strong as it's ever been.
As expected Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity is the best selling Warriors game. Looks likely it will be the best selling KT game eventually.
Another Switch title setting records. It's almost to be expected with high profile launches now.

Yeah, anecdotally, I've always observed the Museum games from a distance because I liked the idea but was iffy on the combat. Having experienced the combat in this game, I'm now more interested in the other games. I think it's definitely possible that a good subset of the buyers of this game will feel the same way.

"First week"
"UK"
"Physical only"
It's like a reverse of the Vince McMahon gif where he gets increasingly excited and falls out of his chair.
With the technical state this game got released in, that's just sad.
I guess "that will show them".... to polish their next game even less.
I also have a thirst for Zelda, but not like this, sorry.

Holy crap! These are insane numbers for a Warriors game!!! I'm absolutely floored by this performance.
The game is great too, definitely the best playing Warriors game so far, though shame about the chunky framerate. This is the first game that has me really yearning for a Switch Pro. I hope the game gets plenty of post launch support.
This bodes really well for BotW 2.

Probably decently since the Awakening/Fates musou sold around 1 million (I think).
Fire Emblem 3H was already overlooked last year...
But yes, this game's OST is sublime!
Worth keeping in mind that though that Three Houses didn't explode the popularity of Fire Emblem games. They were ~2m sellers on 3DS and are ~3m sellers on Switch, which is a good solid gain, but not explosive. Not quite like Breath of the Wild doubling, tripling, probably quadrupling the sales of previous Zelda games.
This is cursed considering how disappointing many people seem to be saying the story beats are. Nintendo sure knows what they're doing getting something like this made though, even as someone who dislikes Musou, it's still quite tempting. Certainly confirms people are crazy for Zelda, 2's gonna sell like crazy.
Thats okay, plenty of people are satisfied with the performance and really enjoying the game. Not every release is gonna be for everyone :-)
This is KT - so the next collab is probably already in early development stages.
Mario Warriors - just imagine Bowser's moveset (for all of you who have played SMO)!
I know. I'm just saying it won't do BotW numbers, which is fine. It'll be huge either way.
What's funny is that it might make Nintendo more bucks compared to BotW1 even with it not reaching the same insane sales. Development should be much less expensive since engine and partially assets are there already, plus all of the game's systems are working. ^^
Fire emblem Musou 3 Houses plz
Probably fenyx rising sales will be a good indicator. Its basically botw unisoft version
