Zelda being at the top makes total sense, and makes me very happy. I am very happy about the showings for Astro Bot, DOOM, and Mario & Luigi as well, and hoping Metroid climbs up the ranks as we see more of it. Sad to see DQ so low (and Metaphor and Monster Hunter are not on the list at all), but I guess this list is more stacked in favour of games that had big reveals during "E3 season", which neither of those did.
 
Look I love Metroid but if anyone thinks it's going to sell passed 10 million or something have no clue how limited the series sales potential is. Japan not caring about the series alone is a big hamper on its sales potential.
 
To me, she's royalty.

Obviously the ranking will not necessarily equate to sales performance - just look at Black Ops 6 - but still.
 
Should be a strong finish to the year. Looking forward to a lot of those games,.

Most anticipated is astro though

Would love to see 2D Zelda do even half as well as BotW! They've definitely been clever in moving some elements of it over, and "play as Zelda" is a great elevator-pitchey hook.

Very glad to see Doom so high too, and a top 10 placing for Prime 4 after a very "yes we do, indeed, still exist" kind of trailer isn't anything to scoff at.
 
They can see how many people wishlist a game on Switch? I thought it was only possible on Steam, nice.


Also, it's a capital crime Dragon Quest isn't on the list. I demand a lifelong sentence for everyone who hasn't wishlisted it.

I don’t understand why the Metaphor metrics are so horrible. The game looks exactly the same as Persona to me, but it’s just generating no hype at all. Does the fanbase just reject any setting outside of Japan and schools?

I think launching a new IP in gaming has never been harder than today, gamers today are mostly into a set few franchises and GAAS games and are not that interested in trying out new games. I think there are more gamers today that get more hype from remasters of old games than of completely new IP games.

You’re right, but this game is so similar to Persona and has tied itself so heavily to Persona in its marketing that I’m surprised at the complete lack of mainstream hype.

Some of the early demonstrations of this game were very poor, and I have seen people complain on relevant forums about how bad the game has brought them. Including visuals, game and Person that are too similar, lack of romance, plot background, and so on.
Of course, I think the core reason is that this game is not exclusive to PS5. Causing it to lose the support of a considerable number of fans.

Microsoft just won’t show combat and traversal in IJ in anything other than quick cuts, it’s been a really hidden title even though they claim it’s releasing very soon.

I don’t like IJ as an IP so I was super disappointed this game was made instead of Wolfenstein 3, but I hope IJ is just at least good at this point.

I don't trust games that are just "[Year]" when we're already halfway through said year. There are six months left. At least choose a season, otherwise I'm just going to start assuming that it's slipping into next year.

Metroid has always been a niche game series, the highest selling entry in the series so far is Dread with 3 million copies sold, prime1 was the highest selling of the prime trilogy and only sold 2.8 million copies, I really don't think there's any greater potential for the series. Because this series is one of the few games that Nintendo has built for hardcore gamers so far.

Zelda, Astro Bot, and DOOM as the top 3 makes sense. Each was basically "game of the show" for each of the 3 platform holders.

I want them to leave the school setting, but man high fantasy settings are so boring it just kills a lot of my interest tbh.

The name is also atrocious and doesn’t give one an idea of what the game is
 
Metroid being in the Top 10 is awesome! I love Metroid, not much of an enthutiast, but I'm hyped for what Prime 4 could mean for the franchise! And even if it doesn't over perform, hey, it'll still be an awesome game!
 
4 first party Xbox games in the top 9 is an accomplishment. Their hardware may be tanking, but the software pipeline for Microsoft is starting to hit its stride.
