Honestly this game should get much more sales.
Nowadays many so-so indy have barely problems reaching 1m sales, many of them even PC exclusive. 1.2m in itself is a good number and a success for them, but compared to other titles the number is pretty disappointing.

People always find a way to turn positive news into negative one...

No, its not that common.Sure, more indie games are selling better than lets say 3 years ago, but they are still few and far betwenn.And since this game still have alot of support comming for it, we can certainly expect more sales.Not to mention the money they made with the DLCs and the amiibo.So the money they made must be higher than other indies that sell 1 million.

It's pretty common for known indie games and Shovel Knight is one of them. Took them far longer than expected to reach that number. Far worse games have reached a million much quicker. Nowadays and already 3 years ago. So, yeah it's a bit sad it's only at 1.2m as of now. Remember that it's on pretty much every platform there is. Also there's only one DLC as of now and that one is free.

I'm not saying that it should compete with Rocket League or Minecraft, but it's certainly a better game than many dozen indie games that sold more.
