I mean I'm sure it's a lot more cheerful for the to imagine the number as really high, but the fact of the matter is that in the end it still sold really well, becoming the top seller of that year.
A bit of a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ situation
Its nothing to do with cheerful, its to do with not knowing how effective a boycott was.
No one in their right mind would expect it to sell zero copies.
Tell me, how do you tell if a boycott was successful?
I'd expect it to meaningfully affect the sales and the maker/seller/whoever behind it. Being the most sold game of the year and presumably making a fat profit, I don't think it really did either.
So again, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So, the fact that it took all year on all 4 major platforms to outsell one game from a much smaller but recognized IP thats restricted to one platform doesnt sound like a meaningful effect on its sales to you?
Because thats a very weird thing. It should not have taken so long to reach this point, given the size of hp as a franchise.
That's the cheerful way to look at it. It sure could've, hypothetically, sold two gazillions instead of one. Take that, game, the boycott must've worked! Yeah...
What exactly do you think detriment to sales means dude
I guess a single person boycotting it would be a detriment but when you're selling a boatload and making a hefty profit you aren't all that bothered by that one lost sale.
Lol youre delusional dude
Do you know what a hyperbole is
Jesus, that wasnt even the part I was calling you delusional for
What was the part?
...... Youre joking right? Are you so clueless that you cant even follow the conversation youre 50% of?
Friend, the issue is that I have no idea what you thought was delusional. It was a simple question.
