Huh, I didn't know this was first-party. Looks like a fast million-seller to me. It's a bit concerning that it hasn't charted in the COMG thread yet. Sure, COMG's market is more Sony- than Nintendo-centric, more core than casual, but that didn't stop Animal Crossing from racking up big numbers.

it looks more of a legs game. Anyway i believe it was announced only 2-3weeks ago!

Nope, the game was announced last August. The special edition XL and bundle was announced very recently, though.

It seems to have decent, but not spectacular, legs -- the first game sold 2/3 of its lifetime sales in its first 6 months, and that got off to a relatively slow start, being a new IP. The new game will probably be even more frontloaded. It should definitely be aiming above the first game's 100k opening.
