  We know it didn’t prevent it from becoming the year’s most sold game, so whatever the impact it’s pretty easy to shrug off

    Buddy, its the worlds 5 largest IP, id be shocked if it didnt sell millions of copies regardless.

    For all we know it could have lost out on 20 million sales, but its an untrackable metric.

      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.

      Did any of the other HP games ever top the charts?

      If not, then there must be something special about this one.

        Other than mobile games or Lego versions, there hasnt been a proper Harry Potter game since 13 years ago and from memory they were extremely average movie tie in games.

        Its not a series like Pokemon or Zelda that sees frequent releases.
