The firxt Punch Out did 450k in Japan, this are bad sales, regardless or not a retired US boxer is in the game. I think Nintendo isn't creating that kind of feeling they had with their games anymore, at least in Japan. I remember most of their games in the GC were successful. As of late even if the game is first party, it won't matter. We've seen too many bad performing 1st party games in Japan. If they are not worried I don't know what to think.
