Well deserved; it's a good game.
Totally Agree with yoU!
24 million in less than a year.
Cyberpunk took 3 years to get to 25 million.
Completely mediocre game. Literally just sold on the brand,
There have been a dozen Harry Potter games before this and none of them had monstrous sales, meanwhile the most recent spin off films flopped. This game sold on merit of both being good and fulfilling fan desires. The brand inherently lends itself to a unique and accessible RPG experience which i think is a breath of fresh-air in amongst all the samey sword swinging old-fashioned medevil worlds
The game has aesthetic and thats pretty much it. Yeah obviously Deathly Hollows Pt 2 on the wii isn't going to sell as well as the full fledged AAA game. But in terms of being a AAA game? Absolute slop. You cannot look at gameplay from this and tell me it looks interesting. The writing is drivel and the combat is braindead. "Breath of fresh air" my ass. All of the 'Sword swingy open world games" I can name off the top of my head are some of the most celebrated games in the medium. Zelda, Elden Ring, Skyrim (which don't get me wrong is not an interesting game to me, but it's also like 12 years old at this point), and Witcher 3. Literally all those games have 10x as much going on as Hogwarts Legacy.
The selling point of Hogwarts Legacy is literally the fact that it looks like Harry Potter, and that it's an expensive video game.
Movies in general are struggling, so pointing at that Fantastic Beasts 3 was a failure is unconvincing. And yeah quality does matter. 2 did worse than 1 because 1 had a tepid perception and 2 reviewed poorly, so you had reputation on top of current reviews. Aquaman made a billion dollars, but Aquaman 2 is only at like 400m right now. Or look at the new Hunger Games, or The Marvels, or any of the Disney Remakes since 2020. Or basically any other movie now. It's not surprising that Fantastic Beasts 3 did poorly because so many films have been doing poorly.
