Here's some numbers analyzed by
@necrolipe about Zelda's pre-orders on Amazon Brazil (which, by the way, has not yet shipped their copies)
This is just April and May, and even though currently Amazon Brazil is the only official place to get national physical Nintendo games, the proportion with other upcoming releases are scary;
Zelda with 5000 copies ordered;
Final Fantasy XVI is with just 600 copies (in May);
Street Fighter 6, both PS4 and PS5 versions combined, with only 250 copies ordered (also May);
Granted, I assume some of the demographic of those games are also going mostly digital (but that also should apply to Zelda, which is been available to us digitally at the sametime as everyone else), especially with SF6 on Steam;... but still... holy fuck;
I got my physical copy from an import store, but many are still waiting for their official Brazilian print;
on top of Zelda not being localized in Brazilian Portuguese, but I digress.
