Boy, Tales of Arise doing well certainly caused the men(dressed as women) from behind the curtain to come out.
Months ago Nichegamer in a desperate attempt to look for outrage started promoting gayops that the game was inspired by Life is Strange, so much so he began to believe his own bullshit. This was apparently tied to Resetera's discord where it was nothing but Nintendo's sales fags. So all these pro-switch articles and stuff for months were being promoted by trannies. And this extended to everything including Famitsu sales numbers being promoted by western outlets all had some kind of ties to the fags on resetera. So you had both the far left and the far right shilling nintendo because of their favorite strawmen phantom spookies on each side. So this was months of predicting the game would fail on the right because it supposedly appealed to SJWs and would most DEFINETLY be censored(without any evidence) and on the left Resetera said the game would fail because it's not culturally going to appeal to the west and that Japanese games will only do well in japan, and both sides of the extremes agreed that only RPGs will ever do well on the switch. They were so deep in it, they defended Baba's fucking honor(he's the guy who made Tales of Zestiria and wanted Rose to take the primary role)
So the game has done incredibly well around 500k on PC and over 500k on consoles. This is similar to what happened with monster hunter where the base audience exploded on both platforms.
When the narrative fell apart things went nuclear, Resetera banned sales threads and the people who made them and the nitnendofag weebs wound up with their foot in their mouth. Both sides effectively played themselves into a corner.
This is how complex console wars have gotten. It's the stonetoss tug of war comic.
