Yoshi's Crafted World vs Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - which one will sell more?
- Thread starter krg
- Start date
Ah, my apologies for not seeing the updated announcement from.. yesterday..
That said, I wasn't saying the game was definitely going to bomb, only that holding reviews until launch doesn't usually result in a positive outcome. An 18 hour review window is not significantly better.
Hard to say. Yoshi has a potential of ca. 3-4 million. Sekiro could do DS numbers but I wouldnt call it a given.
The ceiling is 4m. DKC:TF on Switch was over 2m in about a year. If Yoshi performs better than DK due to bwing a new title it shouldn't have too much trouble crawling to 3 million. Then it will depend on legs.
Yoshi, I feel it will sell more than woolly world and that Sekiro will sell worse than a souls game.
Yoshi will sell 10 copies to Era users and 3 million copies to non-Era users.
Sekiro will sell 3 million copies to Era users and 10 copies to non-Era users.
Sekiro will sell 3 million copies to Era users and 10 copies to non-Era users.
I thought this was a joke thread until I saw the poll results and all the responses.
Yoshi, obviously.
Yoshi, obviously.

From gamecentral yesterday:
We checked with Activision today and they repeated that they're not sending out review copies until Friday. Whether others are getting theirs earlier than that we don't know.
Maybe it's a UK thing or they just hate Gamecentral lol, they do tend to be one of the tougher reviewers. GC themselves don't think it's quality related though. Excerpt of their preview a few weeks ago:
So if there are no reviews before launch don't take that as a bad omen, because this is looking like being another FromSoftware classic and one that's uniquely different from the ones that have come before.
to anyone downplaying yoshi over Sekiro.
1) almost (if not every single) game on switch have sold over expectation and way pass over their WiiU counterparts.
2) Sekiro of course will sell more cause 3 different consoles. BUT on individual basis, its up in the air, example: Bloodborne on PS4 is a critical praised game yet sales are what? 2-3M "only" ???
3) Yoshi has this

Yoshi isn't anywhere close to 3D Mario levels of popularity. Come on now.
So this is a weird question.
I think Sekiro will do well initially and beat out Yoshi in any NPD's (it has more days on the market for March too). Then it will get discounted at some point on and sell very well at a budget price, especially if it is a critical hit. I think that puts it out of reach for even a good Yoshi game on a popular system like the Switch.
That said, Yoshi will definitely retain that full price tag for much, much longer and still sell well at that level. It is in the Nintendo tradition.

Looks like they reused the last boss area in BB.
what is Yoshi's Crafted World?
I assumed it was the option for people tired of console wars sales threads.
First data we have so far are first week retail sales from the UK:
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - 30k (24k for PS4, 6k for XBO)
Yoshi's Crafted World - 15k
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - 30k (24k for PS4, 6k for XBO)
Yoshi's Crafted World - 15k
is that a good number for sekiro, compared to past from software games?
Can't really tell without digital sales. A lot of sales are on PC.
Hey that's really cool! :D
Online sale numbers, are they counted on the PS4?
#TeamJoshi
Did it?
I have no idea about Labo sales other than people here seemed to be excited about it. I thought it looked like nonsense.
Sekiro had 125,000 players online at the one time on PC alone a day after launch.
That was based on 3 days of sales data so likely to be way more than that.
One million was almost 6 months ago based on 3 days of sales.
Probably around 2mi by now.
Of course less than Sekiro, but still good numbers.
Yeah, i didn't say it was accurate lol.
That's just the data we have from Nintendo. Probably not setting the world on fire or they'd have updated the numbers
Yoshi has sold less than 2.75mil, but otherwise we don't know how much it really sold. Probably between 2mil and 2.5mil.
Question is, how would Yoshi have sold as multiplat and Sekiro as Switch-exclusive? 😈
That's not the question you should ask, since there have been exclusive Switch games that have outperformed multiplats on the other three platforms combined.
The question should be.........….why Yoshi.
Exactly, the most Yoshi sells is 2 million, it's like Metroid. Sekiro was obviously going to sell more.
Because ... release date? Nothing else seems likely imo.
E: yeah, OP actually says so himself. Nice.
It was because Sekiro was the intentionally hard game with no easy mode while Yoshi was the intentionally easy game with built in difficulty adjustments to make it even easier. And they came out around the same time. They were opposite ends of the spectrum, so "worthy of comparison" in resetera logic despite all the other factors tilting the scales.
