120k is quite dissapointing for a game like TLS. The first shipment was sold out before thursday (120k) but they said that the second shipment was arriving on the same 27th January (so > 120k FW). If Media Create shows numbers <=120k I guess someone has been lying to us...

New RPG IPs are often a hard sell, even in Japan. Dragon Quest took three games to become the phenomenon that it is.

FF also had a hard time too.

Well I don't know the launch sales off FF1, but considering it saved SE from bankruptcy, I would call that an exception of being a hard sell.

FF1 did 400,000 copies LT. Final Fantasy didn't really start selling until FF3.

Well that was still enough to save the company, so even if it was a hard sell, it was a successful hard sell.
