First game was pretty beautiful but only managed to shift 1.4m copies on the ps3, altho it is often on sale on the psn store for 4-6euros so I guess a great number of its sales would be digitally (even tho the buggering thing is 26gb big!!)

Cool if true tho, nice to see the potential of a new rpg series spawning out of the first game.

Only?  What?  :-O

1 million is actually huge sales, in the grand scheme of things.  

There are 100s, even 1000's of games coming out every year.  Out of 400 games that are on VGC for PS4, only 28 of them have been tracked as selling more than 1 million.  We see a similar story on the PS3.  

Selling 1 million copies, puts that game in the top 10% of all games easily.  The grand majority of companies would be jumping in joy if they got a game that sold 1 million.  There are a few companies that are in a class of their own where 1 million would be a failure, this is a small number of companies.  


Except the original isn't on the ps4 is it? it's on the ps3 which has 231 million+ selling games, Ni No Kuni being no 142 in that list. You have to look at the install base when saying that selling 1m is down to exceptional software Sonic Unleashed(ps3), Sonic 2006 (x360) are both million selling games both utter failures in the grand scheme of things if you were to drop them onto the ps4 now you would never expect them to join the 28 games that sold a million on that system, surely?
