- Start date
A lot of people underestimate the Jump brand. As soon as Yugi, Saint Seiya, and JoJo were announced it was a done deal.
Metro wasn't as big as it is now, and the production values must be completely different.
Including World Seeker?
I feel like I read somewhere that Xenoverse did 10million ? That is pretty close to Smash right ? And that game was kinda average too and is only using the Dragonball IP.
Am talking about a Jump game with Similar critical reception to Smash. A game that would interest more than just Anime fans. Heck it could even be a smash clone like Jump Super stars.
I think people are more shocked that a game of Jump Force's, shall we say, "quality" could do so well, without realizing just how many powerful brands they have to exploit in the game, be they legacy like Dragon Ball, Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh and (fuck it, I'll put it in here) Bleach, or newer ones with huge followings like My Hero Academia or One Piece, even if the latter is an emerging one only in the west. Mainstream folks love the idea of a AAA-looking anime game in the mode of Smash Bros., even if it might be kinda shitty.
smash isn't going to do 10 million tho, but 25 when it's done selling. very few games can sell as much as smash
Eh One piece isn't nearly as big as Naruto or DBZ in the US. Those are the main factors. If this were an open world Naruto game sure it'd chart
No one really knows that, though
everything points to Metro not being a bomba actually, especially due to workforce costs being lower where 4A is based, afaik
people are just jumping to conclusions (not anything new tbh)
Isnt the series best 13.5m currently ? That is kinda what am basing this off. But you seem to have different intentions. Am not really talking about Future sales predictions or w/e.
Xenoverse did 10m after 3 years.
Smash Ultimate did 12m in 3 weeks.
Crackdown 3 was essentially being sold as 2 dollar game with all the game pass ads they had plastered all over the place. I doubt MS cares how much the game sold and are just happy the game is done.
Amazing about Jump Force. I guess there is a real thirst for game to answer the ageless question of, "What would happen if Anime Character A and B fought?"
smash ultimate is already at 13 million, a month after launch. it's going to keep selling for years. you have very weird expectations to what a good jump game can do
Looks like once again the forums and sales are at odds. Biowares second biggest month but it will be interesting to see how far it falls next month.
Point is again. Xenoverse didn't exactly set the gaming world on fire and is using only one IP ( although the biggest one )
Am just saying the potential TO Sell that much is there , when even bad games are capable of selling this much.
Jesus christ, Anthem is the best selling game of the month and some of y'all still dying for EA to shut BioWare down.
Huh? Why would you expect that in the top 20? It's a niche game with a smaller budget and no big marketing. It gets consistent enough sells from its base to continue getting sequels. Damn near every game in the top 20 is a blockbuster.
That was for both games together.

I think it's going to be a long time before we see another Crackdown. At least it closes the chapter of a long and bumpy road.
Idk. These games seem pretty bad to me , yet they seem to be selling a lot. I personally never really picked em up since they still play like the PS2 games. But an actual good game would possible interest way more people , outside of just the hardcore fans of the anime.
No shit? Thats part of why am saying it would sell. It is on a much bigger install base.
Lol why are people taking this like its some Smash vs Jump debate. I didn't really intend it to be one.
Because your info is not correct. The 10 million figure is for both Xenoverse, and Xenoverse 2.
