I say the end of October or early November would be ideal timing, as of now there is a wasteland of games releasing in that time frame.

The other time to release something is probably the week after Smash Ultimate, if Yokai makes it this year that would probably be when that launches though.

Don't disagree- but 2 months seems like too low of a timeframe for release announcement to release.

What is truly incalled for is the rest of the world only buying ~4 million units - if I had my way it and BOTW would be 15 million sellers WW.

BOTW will pass 15m lifetime. Maybe even 20m.

Japan's obsession with Splatoon is hilarious and baffling at the same time

The next Wonderful 101

Numbers in 25 minutes:
I predict Splatoon #2 with 22k units, Octopath #4 with 13k, NSW 52k

Oh ya, for sure, I just think these two titles deserve a 75% attach-rate lol
But that's just my fanboyism ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Have you played the game recently? The reason why people get so into the universe is really evident even at first glance.

And by the way it's not only a Japan exclusive, Splatoon 2 has sold more than BotW in Spain for the past 5 months for example, and it's currently doing the same in Italy too. Globally speaking it sold as much as Odyssey in the last 3 month report. 760k Odyssey, 740k Splatoon 2.

Thats really impressive for a relatively new IP and its special arts/mechanics.

Didn't the first Builders game have a very fast announcement to release cycle?

It would be uncommon, but I think it has become a more popular move in recent years. Most games don't need the whole hype buildup that they used to.

.....and ? Those aren't Bamco titles.

I didn't say Bamco doesn't support the Switch. Tekken is the bigger IP and the older game - they are going to bring Tekken to Switch before bothering with something like SC6.

Only exception would be if they get BotW Link for a late Switch version.

Or SC2 HD with Link?

Obon doesn't see significant boost for software though.

Yeah still going through the DLC, chipping away slowly but surely

I think 4M units sounds about right, even if I really like the game and its art style.
