Interesting. Just looking at the sales numbers three weeks out and the feedback of those into followers I think it's going to be huge. Maybe MP would give it a higher ceiling but probably also makes it harder to make into a good game on top of that, or at least just longer. My guess is it's going to do excellent numbers MP or no.
Everyone does think it'll do great numbers, the fact people are debating if it can beat MHW's record of not is proof of that.
We're only discussing the possible launch ceiling of the game.
Early pre-orders, follower count and wishlist placement are very encouraging, but we still have to wait for the reviews and what kind of performance this RE Engine open world is going to look like. These two things could alter the launch numbers by in either a positive or negative way depending on how things shake out.
Initial performance reception by players is going to be especially important considering the game is coming out on a Friday.

For the last few days the game has been hanging around the
#11-13~ on the global list but this morning it skyrocketed to

Last Friday on
March 1st, those were the stats I witnessed as far as review breakdowns by language:
1. English 32.12%
2. German 13.06% (This should be no surprise)
3. French 11.79% Did any big streamers from France play the game or something?
4. Simple Chinese 11.25%
5. Spanish - Spain 7.38% Same question here as the French one, this is very high for a Simulator game.
6. Russian 5.57%
7. Portuguese Brazil 5.13%
I asked if it became a meme game in France due to the abnormally large presence of French reviews.
Well here we're 2 days later and this is how it's going
now:
1. English 29.75%
2. France
14.76%
3. German 11.78%
4. Simple Chinese 10.70%
5. Spanish - Spain 8.71%
6. Russian 6.15%
7. Portuguese - Brazil 4.07%
France overtaking Germany in a simulator game...
This increase is also backed by the fact that Supermarket Simulator
#1 in one particular market:
France
The only country where this is the case. I did check on twitch earlier today and many streamers playing the game were French based on their titles.
Meme game confirmed.
