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.

I don't get why it's bad that an indie like this has sold 1.2 million across multiple platforms, hell just alone recently ahs Stardew valley hit 1 million copies so far alone on PC from just a month and two weeks of being sold, once it eventually hits consoles he'll see more copies sold as a result. There are still plenty of indie games out there that just aren't popular enough to sell millions, that's just how the market works.
