So, the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2019 (E3 2019) has come to an end. It's time to see which games have successfully attracted the attention of gamers for their forthcoming releases.
Every year, some of the big names in the industry show up at E3, but this year Sony and EA were absent, with EA's deciding to hold their own E3 conference. Currently the head of Xbox brand, Phil Spencer even confessed that he felt a bit disappointed because of Sony's absence from E3 2019. However, there were a lot of games that got many players hyped. With data from the genius brains of Thinknum, who collected sales data from Gamestop and Amazon, we can now know which games have "won" this year E3 conference.
We can't say which games will be the best-selling ones by solely judging from E3. However, according to data of Thinknum from the release date on the website of Gamestop to the last day of E3 (June 10-14), Cyberpunk 2077 ranked at no.1 and no.3 positions at GameStop. It shows that the pre-orders of Cyberpunk have beaten the sales of the constantly top-selling Xbox gift cards and PlayStation.
While surprisingly, Cyberpunk couldn't even make it to top ten games at Amazon and it also finished at the last position on the list of Thinknum, the Final Fantasy VII Remake was the one stealing the spotlight on another famous commercial website Amazon. Another game mentioned was The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and its Nintendo Amiibo – Link series.
The rank and data don't indicate that Cyberpunk 2077 and the Final Fantasy VII Remake would be the best sellers of 2020. As data about the number of pre-orders increased on June 14, the hype can still be quieter.
Although the fans were quite excited about Cyberpunk 2077 of CD Projekt Red, Keanu Reeves seemed to add a lot up to the hype with his revealing that the appearance of John Wick in the game released on April 16, 2020. It's less than a year, but we are all excited for the game and of course for the gaming version John Wick.
With the release date set on March 3, 2020, the Final Fantasy VII Remake would certainly be a redoubtable name with a powerful and royal fandom of Final Fantasy.
