Uh, what?! Ys on Switch sold less than 1/5th of the Vita's first week.

A insider on ResetERA that used work for NIS America has said that worldwide sales of Ys Viii have been similar to the PS4 and Vita versions.  

Didn't realize we jumped from Japan to the West. Yeah, Western sales of JRPGs have been very good for NIS America. They've done a good job capturing some new fans with Disgaea 5 and Ys 8. I do wish we got actual numbers for them though..

He's probably refering to an insider's comment that Ys VIII's worldwide sales are in the same ballpark as the Vita version's worldwide sales.

A similar case is Disgaea 5 where the Switch version sold notably lower than the PS4 version in Japan, but sold similar numbers on a global basis. Disgaea 5's sales are confirmed by the publisher itself.

Ah, I did read that. That was for US sales though. Considering the thread, I thought he was referring to JP sales.
