The difference in publishers matter. Nintendo can continously market a game whereas SEGA has always been more resource-constrained. Let's consider another Platinum-produced IP The Wonderful 101 -- which had an even more horrible opening (less than 20k in first 10 weeks in Japan), yet the game has somewhat legged out over the last year to reach more than 50k. That's all owed to Ninty's deeper capability as a bigger publisher to position a game in the market for the long term. |
Nintendo barely even marketed TW101 when it came out, I'm not sure why you think long term marketing got it to 50k. VGC overtracking got it to 50k.
