1 Mio. is not big for Japan, look at the Dragon Quest sales, or Animal Crossing or Tomodachi Collection.


Bro, its huge. Your taking the Best of the Best into account only. Anything in japan that sells over 200k-300k is huge. 90%of games dont even go over 200k there.

Break it down into tiers if you have to. But KH is a huge franchise, maybe not the top, but non the less huge.

Quick and off the top of my head for how big franchises are in japan. (Overall)

★Tier S: Games that no matter what, sell so much its unbelievable! Animal Crossing/Pokemon/Monster Hunter/DQ

★Tier A: Games that sell extremely well, but just dont get near Pokemon level: Mario 2D platformers / Mario Kart / Tomodachi Life / *Maybe Youkai Watch Soon

★Tier B: Games that do over million in sales but aren't as big as the others: Resident Evil/Final Fantasy/3D Mario

★Tier C: Games that are still huge and do close to a million (maybe like 750k-1mil): Kingdom Hearts/ Luigi's Mansion

All are still huge franchises!
