There's a difference between 80% sellthrough and 30% sellthrough, of course 23k is not good, but it's from almost 30k available, a lot of stores sold out and left people without their copy, that means the game could have sold more if the shipment was higher... 23k with a shipment of 77k (30%) is different, because that means the game has low demand... This 2 points are important to the future sales of the game...
The game met my shipment and sales expectations though... The hype was not there, From Software has almost a mute reputation, and it didn't receive much advertising...
