Counting all platforms together, it easily outsold JD1. And the Wii-version of JD4 alone is pretty close to JD1. Given, JD1 wasn't multiplat. But that works both way - you could also argue it sold worse on Wii, because some of it's former players bought the game on X360, PS3 or WiiU.

that doesnt make it look good. JD4 needed to be on MULTIPLE platforms to beat out the original entry that was released on ONE? naw thats not good. Even if you do that it still sold less than JD3, across the board even with the extra WII u SKU. If thats not a decline i dont know what is. I dont see JD 2014 doing better it might be overshadowed by PS4 and xbone release and even those are getting their own versions but i dont see them doing great on those systems.

Yes, I can agree with that. JD had it best sales so far with JD2 and JD3 and 2014 will probably decline further (increasing sales on WiiU, PS4 and XBO will not make up on the losses on Wii, PS3 and X360). But 6,6 million is not that bad and the series is not yet dying. If that would be the case, Final Fantasy would be long dead. But Ubisoft sure has to do something to keep the series going.

Anyways, I was answering Pezus who was assuming the series is moving over to XBOX and/or PS. That is something I cannot see happen.
