I admire their optimism that anyone was going to bother pirating this.

The price for this game was 70€ which is already too much. But Square decided to increase the price to 80€. That's just for the standard edition. Squaresoftpenis executives might want to stop smoking literal shit all the time.

Unfortunately, reviews don't really matter because pre-purchases and launch day sales are already a huge chunk of a game's total profits.
Long tail sales only really matter for indies and games as a service.

That means basically nothing. Anyone can wishlist whatever they want on Steam, doesn't mean it will translate into a purchase.
The combination of female chimpanzee protagonist, ridiculous price (for a new, unknown IP) and the complete lack of hype from anywhere on the internet I don't see how this game is going to be a success.

Is that good?
I don't really have a frame of reference for Steam, so I could be completely off, but that doesn't sound so hot for a game from a major publisher that is being released in a couple of days in this current dry season for PC.
I'm not seeing it hyped much even among the YT corpo shills either.

I'd say https://steamdb.info/stats/mostwished/ is easier to peruse. Granted I think this link might only apply to upcoming games.

Steamdb is where I get my stats from when possible.
So, it depends. For a new IP with no real concrete premise and no real audience? It's fucking great (probably, I have no idea how much $$$ they spent on this).
Gamedevs factor in wishlists as a measure of how well a game will perform on launch, but this is complicated by the fact that this specific game is taking preorders. It used to be that you convert anywhere from 10-20% of wishlists depending on year released, genre, etc.
What devs won't tell you, is that how many steam "followers" a game has is also a great indicator of future sales. Forspoken has around 70k. Which you can compare to the hypest game on steam RN (apparently), Hogwarts Legacy which has around 300k.

Forgot this was coming out next week. Since I got it for free with my graphics card I'll be playing it.
Skipped around the first hour of gameplay that leaked online and good lord... The writing is atrocious and the main character's delivery is even worse. I'll be playing in JP.

Can't optimize the fucking thing even for the hardware that it was specifically designed for, lulz.
