It's ridiculous how bad the legs of the series are. I mean, Mario Maker started off the same week with less than a quarter of the first day! |
It does make sense at least. Final Fantasy is not only one of Japan's most iconic series, but it spends years being given significant media attention, and then follows that up with a major marketing push towards its launch. SE do everything they can to make that first week as significant an event as possible.
In comparison, something like Mario Maker is much less of an event. It can still sell well long-term thanks to its own brand recognition, a dramatically larger market base, and good word of mouth, but there's less urgency to buy it day 1.
