I don't think that CK3 will fail sales wise - people want something new every decade or so :D. I predict record sales unless Imperator turned the customer base against them.

Probably.

Systems wise EU is always the one that's the most Grand Strategy-ish.

EU is also the one with the least personality and interesting stuff. Its duration goes from the late middle ages to the Napoleonic era, yet it feels like barely anything is happening other than map painting because compared to other PDX games it barely simulates anything. Victoria has its industrialization and pop management, HoI has in-depth research and combat mechanics, CK has role-playing elements and dynasties...

EU only has the map painting. All the cool features of interior management of a country and international relations are abstracted to a much higher degree than in other PDX games. It's the most generic of their games and the one with the least interesting gameplay mechanics.

Well it has trade - I'd have liked to see some of that make it's way to CK3. Maybe it will with a Republics DLC.

Yeah, the problem is that EU4 simulates such a long time period that, rather than having mechanics for the changes that went on, they abstract it all to modifiers like "professionalism: +x% combat damage". Funny enough CK2 has a distinction between feudal levy armies and professional armies even though it would be more appropriate in EU4 (professional armies almost didn't exist in CK2's time period), yet EU4 has nothing.
