So I was thinking about Codename STEAM.  It's like, ultra-bomba status (didn't even sell a bar's worth of its shipment in Japan), but still...

Perhaps I shouldn't have expected anything from it.  My thought process was that it's Intelligent Systems, Nintendo-published.  They had insane breakout success with Fire Emblem Awakening so I thought it would've at least had some appeal in the market through pedigree/genre.

But, Intelligent Systems also have Advance Wars which apparently sells twat all in Japan too.  So maybe the problem is them.  Unless they're making something with a more Japanese aesthetic, the market just isn't interested.

Still, I don't get how Nintendo convinced retailers to stock quite so many copies.  That's quite an impressive achievement.

The bars imply a shipment in the range of 15k units, right? That's not an awful lot.

The bar states it sold less than 20% of its shipment. We don't know how many copies were purchased, just a minimum.

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
