The problem with looking at numbers like how you just did, is that if you already are thinking something before you look at it then you will pretty much see exactly what you adid need to see to push your argument.
First off, Yakuza 5 opened with 350k+ on the PS3 in 2012 to an install base of over 8M.
Yakuza 6 opened with 210k+ to an install base of around 3M and you call that a flop??????
Secondly, look at FF13 and then the subsequent sales of the series since then. And then consider that in two weeks and not counting digital sales it's done almost 800k on a console that has sold only 3M units in Japan. With digital sales it could very well be over 1M by now and that's being conservative. Meaning that around 1 in every 3 people that owns a PS4 in Japan owns the game. And you call that a flop?
And Yakuza 0 launched on two platforms, PS4/PS3 with the bulk of its sales being on PS3.... what does that tell you?
If you are going to use numbers to push a point at least make sure you look at the full picture.
