What do you think will sell more Dragon Dogma 2 or Rise of the Ronin. Both release in March.

DD is a more well known ip, is multiplat, has higher production values and the capcom has a lot of name recognition. Ronin while it looks good it doesn’t have the big budget PlayStation triple A polish to it. Team ninja games don’t generally do huge numbers or get a lot of recognition even when they are good. I would be surprised if ronin outsell DD. That would be a big W for team ninja and PlayStation but a big L for capcom considering how long ppl have waited for another DD game. It would probably
the franchise.

i even more now convinced of my right purchase.
It’s an interesting question in this case.
Multiplatform releases usually sell higher than exclusives just due to being available in more places, but the PS5’s dominance makes it possible for an exclusive to outsell multiplats.

This really has to be the only forum on the planet that doesn't like DD2
It's like some bizarre world in this thread

Yeah Ghost of T surprised everyone with its sales. This could be another similar scenario.

DD2 has IP recognition, has a very dedicated fanbase who've been asking for a sequel for a hot minute and kept it alive in the public consciousness, so a lot of casuals and non-fans will pick it up too, it's on multiple systems.
RotR is a new IP that has a style of gameplay that typically appeals to a more niche audience outside of the FromSoft branding.
I suspect RotR will be successful, but not do DD2 numbers.

Thts what ppl thought about Ghost of T and boy did it deliver numbers they didn't expect. Horizon as well as a new IP coming off a very lackluster Kill zone shadow fall sales.
Tsushima has the best word of mouth unlike any other PlayStation exclusive I know of.
Kinda want to put it into cult classic territory but it’s a bit more successful than that.

Really hard to say but I guess I give DD2 the edge. It has the ability to sell something on PC and Capcom has done a good job building hype in a short amount of time while RotR seems more subdued. This is within a month or two of launch, anyways. Lifetime will depend on game quality, pricing strategy (how long do you remain at 70) and whether DD2 goes to additional platforms.

For multiplat devs, especially a Japanese publisher like Capcom, releasing or not releasing on the Switch 2 are going to be two very different separate scenarios in terms of sales number. Until we know more about which titles are going or not going to be on the platform, it's hard to get an accurate guess on how much any of their games is going to end up selling in the long run.
