FE Warriors above Splatoon and ARMS, I didn't see that coming

Games we seen a lot of before E3 is not gonna chart high on these things

Also love seeing MP4 taking number 2

 

[titiklabingapat]

Surprised at Rabbids being that high and MHW that low. Wow, AC is really that popular??

Disappointed in Arms being that low as well but we've seen plenty of that game.

Trailer for MP4 once it releases is gonna be massive.

 

[wesleyshark]

Heh, a freaking logo was the second most mentioned game. Think Metroid fans were a little starved up until now?

Nah.

Spoiler

Yes

 

[RedFury]

Xbox should have a hell of a year for first party next year especially with the power of Scorpio. Watching the tear down and build of the thing made me want one without even careing about games

Haha your good. User name checks out.

 

[shingi70]

Kirby hunting monsters.

Just Dance has more mentions than MvCI.

Hahahaha

Is really surprising that two pretty mainstream.franchises that always sell well have more mentions that's a fighting game and a typically niche series

 

[jeffram]

Thus data is not intuitive to me.

Nothing about assassins creed screamed most talked about game at the show. Interesting.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

The cuts to the audience at sonys conference were a bad idea.

Not all bad. There was 2 guys bowing. That's dedication and passion Xbox just can't match.

 

[SporeCrawler]

Doesnt surprise me. This was a console reveal

 

[KORNdoggy]

Lol at metroid being the second most mentioned game with only a title card. Haha. Maybe thats all E3 needs to be from now on? It clearly works.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

New hardware. That's obvious

 

[RedFury]

Not all bad. There was 2 guys bowing. That's dedication and passion Xbox just can't match.

Eh a cult is about the same in my book.

 

[geordiemp]

Does anybody with half a mind think any of those games mentioned in the top 15 will outsell COD ?

Like 20 million territory.

Just goes to show that this list of social media mentions has no correlation with sales volumes at all.

..

 

[Sjefen]

And this is why Sony does PSX

 

[JayWood2010]

Thus data is not intuitive to me.

One of the most popular franchises of the last decade. It was bound to be talked about a lot.

As for me, Dragon Ball FighterZ and Anthem were the best two announcements in all the conferences. So surprised at how good DB looks. A legit fighting DB game made by a great developer.

 

[gamz]

Doesnt surprise me. This was a console reveal

And on a Sunday. Basically the SuperBowl of this generation.

 

[black070]

Spider-Man's going to be big.

 

[marrec]

God these surveys are complete rubbish.

Most people were probably tweeting about 499 price, but hey, if someone can sell data then sell it.

MS conference was good, but social media mentions is a silly metric and only matters if someone tweets they are convinced to buy an Xbox.

Hell they could be laughing at Phils shirt.

My Twitter feed was filled with people making fun of the car and laughing at the price. The analytics support the negative reactions to the car, but I'm surprised they didn't see a peak at the price announcement. You'd think one way or another there would be some reaction.

 

[Trigonometrize.]

Lol at metroid being the second most mentioned game with only a title card. Haha. Maybe thats all E3 needs to be from now on? It clearly works.

It works with a very select few games. If they were like dun dun duuuuun what's it gonna be "Mario and Sonic at the Cranival Games" I don't think people would be impressed.

I don't believe anyone is making that inference? Just that people who were active on social media chose to talk about these specific games.

This is supposed to be the reinvention of MH tho.

I dont blame them, I barley heard it muttered (the price), sounded limp when he gave it.

 

[NickWright]

Kirby is quite high in the list. I'm so happy

 

[blakep267]

New hardware. That's obvious

You do realize that the conference also peaked to the same points throighout the show. If it were just he scorpio, there'd be a huge dropoff

 

[Bending_Unit_22]

Nah.

Spoiler

Yes

Same. I'm not on social media but if they measured texts I sure blew up texting the moment I saw the Samus "S" begin to form. It's been years since I've had that feeling from e3.

You seriously thought monster hunter would be higher?

 

[JayWood2010]

I rolled my eyes when I saw that. I viewed it as fanboys being fanboys. All companies have them, and its bad enough reading their stuff on the internet.

Did the idea of CoD not being as popular as other games on a list really bother you?

 

[Kaako]

Spider-Man's going to be big.

Best believe. That game looking sexy as hell so far.

 

[Trigonometrize.]

Kirby is quite high in the list. I'm so happy

People have to let others know they have the unique opinion that Kirby is cute.

 

[black070]

I dont blame them, I barley heard it muttered (the price), sounded limp when he gave it.

Phil said it so quickly I had to check GAF to see what it was.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

Spiderman is going to be BIG.

 

[Fularu]

It took all of that because it was so long with way to many "EXCLUSIVE" ;-)

 

[titiklabingapat]

It's arguably one of the biggest Japanese franchise having a western 'debut' + the controversy surrounding it. Last time that happened was FF VII.

 

[shingi70]

This is supposed to be the reinvention of MH tho.

That still wouldn't grab any new people. The reveal video was good but it was mostly aimed at people who already are fans of the series.

 

[blakep267]

It doesn't resonate with the west. Which is why Capcom is trying to expand its reception. But at this point in time, it's still monster hunter. So ain't nobody going to care about it until it releases with amazing reviews etc. and even then it still probably won't catch on in the west

 

[cyba89]

STEEP getting more mentions than Shadow Of The Colossus.

 

[FZW]

Solely because of a new console. Contrast the list of talked about games.

Why does this matter?

 

[hanspampel]

STEEP getting more mentions than Shadow Of The Colossus.

what is Shadow of the Colossus?

 

[EvB]

STEEP getting more mentions than Shadow Of The Colossus.

It's probably sold more copies

 

[geordiemp]

Dont give a shit, did it bother you ?

Just me looking to see if the data has any meaning or usefulness.

The obvious flaw in the analysis that a game being mentioned allot does not equal sales potential, thats clear.

Also read the responses even just above me, posters on here actually inferring high on the list means a game will be successful - its quite amusing.

 

[Cuburt]

Considering their games weren't even among the top 10 most discussed, I could only assume a good amount of that was X reveal talk, X price talk, Minecraft crossplay drama, and lots of disappointment.

Sunday was a good move for them though since Nintendo and Sony are presenting on business days.

 

[joe_zazen]

PC gaming dead?

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

kinda sad it wasnt #Geoff topping the charts

So its just a fun whatever...ho hum.

I think the data is more useful if you realise that games that already had their official unveiling before E3 will probably be mentioned much less relatively speaking than titles that were officially announced during E3 proper. Once you take that into account, I think the data is a but more useful, though it is by no means a direct correlation to eventual sales.

 

[Malreyn]

Social media echo chamber must be real if I actually thought Dragon Ball Fighter Z had more mentions than Assassin's Creed Origins

 

[ronaldthump]

A) MS xboxXprice
B) New console
C) SONY not taking their minecraft thing

Microsoft is probably gambling on having a good third party showing will counter a anaemic first party showing.

Well, you'd argue that third party are all on PS4 anyhow - and it is.

 

[EvB]

Social media echo chamber must be real if I actually thought Dragon Ball Fighter Z had more mentions than Assassin's Creed Origins

I don't think anybody under the age of 28 knows what Dragonball Z is

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

You do realize that the conference also peaked to the same points throighout the show. If it were just he scorpio, there'd be a huge dropoff

And the Xbox one X was mentioned every time for each one of those games including Ass Creed which has a marketing deal with Xbox under the whole banner of 4K...

New hardware gets everyone talking...like how is this not obvious

 

[Liliana Eileen]

DBZ looks good but thres no way it will even sell a quarter of AC

Was the article was trying to imply anything about sales? Thanks for bringing this astounding revelation to our attention. I know I feel better.
