You could be right, but there were a lot of people that were confident it would hit 100k in Japan first week simply because it was a musou game.


I think most sensible people were actually not surprised by the sales of Japan's FW. For one the musou fanbase isn't on WiiU, they are on PS3; for two its a brand that isn't actually all that popular there (Zelda). I don't even think Nintendo/Koei expected all that much considering the shipment numbers. Its also a real conundrum on the digital side since the game was ~10$ (after conversion) cheaper to buy... which was widely advertized and known for the audience over there.

We're going to need to wait on Famitsu's digital numbers for August but I would suspect they will be "high" (relatively speaking).
