Pretty much this, it went from 6th place debut in UK and straight out of top 40 the week after and disappeared off of Japan top 30 after about a month.
It did quite well in the US, actually, that is a very respectable first week for such a title. However; it will not have any legs and it will fall way short of the 1 million quite a few have been predicting for it.
I do think it will beat my old estimates by some margin but not by a whole lot (my old LT predictions were in the 250-350k range) and I don't think we should be surprised if it struggles to double the global FW sales in lifetime sales. Could go over as well, of course, but I find it very unlikely that it will go over 500k in any scenario and I find 400k to be a bit more probable when all is said and done.
