I was expecting something around 300-400 1st week for LR FF XIII and it did around 300k... I don't think SE was pretending to be anything more. Just make a game that is profitable and go on.
To me XIII-2 and LR are games that were made only for the reason of make profitable the costs of FF XIII, and in that regard and seeing how cheap were XIII-2 and LR they succeed. If XIII-2 sold around 3 million WW and this one solds around 1'5-2 million WW will be an objective accomplished by SE.
It's clear that in SE, after XIV fiasco, they have been very cautious in spending cost in next games, and they decided to change their philosophy of making the biggest game possible for something more quick and rentable. I hate that form of opinion, I don't want 8/10 rating FF games...., I want 9/10 or 10/10 FF games. Seeing how FF XV looks and how well FF XIV ARR is doing i'm more confident SE will regain his original philosophy.
And with respect of Mario 3d world, i think is a more troubled situation for Nintendo that LR for SE..., just 100k for a main Mario game in Japan is way worse... and it's a sign that not only WiiU, but all home console consoles and games are dying in Japan....and it's a shame.
I think PS4 will suffer too, and better everybody not expect it to sell PS2 levels there..., i'm not even sure if it will even surpass PS3 levels...
