wait what? I figured Injustice would have a huge opening and easily be number 1
Mortal Kombat X opened well over a million in its debut month, so unless Injustice 2 completely tanks in comparison, it will trivially take the month.
I don't think Injustice will be as big as Mortal Kombat X and doing more than 500K would be a great result. Do you guys really think Injustice is as big as MKX? MK8D will easily do around 500K in May so that's the bar Injustice would have to pass.
I haven't cross-checked to be sure, but I recall that this is more of a situation where Zelda is much more popular in US vs Europe.
I definitely think HZD showed better legs in certain countries in Europe, I think even this week HZD climbed up in the UK rankings. Especially considering it's on a single platform the 3rd place in Germany for April is no doubt very significant.
