>How much would a Stellar Blade 2 sell?
Probably as well as the first one, unless they introduce some crazy new gameplay mechanics that hooks people who swore off the first game.
>Does it have any staying power as a franchise?
Yes, but people have already made their minds up on the fanservice which is the game's most divisive element by far, hence my point about the sequel (which is confirmed) not doing particularly better or worse than the first. Normgroids who are scared of big boobs & butts in lewd outfits have no reason to buy into the sequel unless something else about it piques their interest.
