Comment on Hogwarts Legacy has officially cleared Zelda as 2023's best-selling game worldwide

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.
