"For reference, Ni no Kuni sold 170,548 units in its first week. The initial shipment for the game was 600,000 units, which is the highest initial shipment of any new Level 5 property to date."
Yeah, I thought so. =P And you said 'launch'. This says 'first week'.
You don't think the Ps3 version flopped? Well let's see... let's use Dragon's Dogma as an example since it's right there on the front page. It sold 300k in its first week and Ni no Kuni hasn't even done that in its lifetime. In comparison to the DS version, Ni no Kuni for PS3 only sold 65k in its first week and it sold less than expected, selling only 40% of stock.
Edit: Actually those aren't even first week sales for Dragon's Dogma. They only include 3 days.
