Are you kidding me? If I remember correctly Tropical Freeze launched to only like 300k units sold. Look where it is now. Sure, it might not be a huge hit like Mario Kart, but it has legs and was still selling months and months after it was released, and still is.

Define "selling". I'm pretty sure it sold close to nothing last week lol. I'm not trying to be a dick, or a troll, or mean... I just don't understand what you're trying to convey here. When a game has legs, typically what that means is it not only sells a few copies a year or two later (or even more), but that it sells WELL for a long period of time. Minecraft has legs. GTA5... has legs. I'm not so sure Tropical 

Legs isn't really about total numbers, it's more about percentage sold after initial release.

U used GTAV as an example for legs. The PS3+360 versions have sold about 34 million total since it launched in Sept 2013. Over 20 million of those sales came in its debut month, or almost 60%. After 10 weeks GTAV sold 26 million or about 75% of its lifetime total.

On the other hand, Tropical Freeze had a debut month of about 300k, it's current lifetime total is about 1 million so only 30% of its lifetime sales have occurred in the debut month. After 10 weeks Tropical Freeze sold almost 500k or about 50% of its lifetime total.

Tropical Freeze is showing better legs than GTAV.
