Is it just me or Yokai Watch is a huge bomba?

Few things you would have to think about in this case
#1 it's a new IP
#2 it could have long legs
#3 given the type of game it is, I don't think it was meant to be a million seller
#4 you just a hater
#5 a "huge bomba" for a title like this would be 15k, not 50k

#1 Tokiden is a new IP and opened far higher on a much smaller install base (you can also replace "Tokiden" by "Soul Sacrifice")

#2 maybe

#3 Isn't that Pokemon-like game (from what I heard)? And besides it seemed directed to all audiences (unlike Tokiden and Soul Sacrifice which aren't meant for children)

#4 maybe

#5 It sold only half the first shipment, what further proof do you need to realize it is well below expectations?
