Consistent sales under or around a million. If you want to say that everyone that buys a game is a fan of the IP, and a single game selling over a million means there's a million fans forever, go right ahead. You'd be wrong. Number of fans change over time, and not everyone who buys a game is a fan. Hell, even ktay is saying that Hyrule Warriors fans aren't all Musou fans, point in case. But not even games that don't borrow from other IPs sell only to fans of a series. Some people just buy a game because they want to try it. Even with generous estimates of fan-to-not-fan ratios in the sales, the likelihood that there are a million people that would call themselves fans of the series is just too low. If you genuinely believe that, then I'm sorry to say the evidence simply doesn't support it.
