It might be 2 games, but it is the most expensive non-LE Nintendo SKU I have seen. And unlike the bombas it is 40-60% shipment rate, which I qualify as decent for launch, as can be seen that no Switch game is even close to soldout in this tracking period.

It didn't bombed but those are bad sales. It still has the Dragon quest name in it and has 2 games in it. Also, looking at the shipments those are bad. It means that the game only sold it shipments 40-60% so it's possible that it only sold half of it's shipments or worse.  2nd week will be the test because if it dropped significantly  we won't be expecting another shipment from SE.

EDIT*

BTW: looking at the normal pricing of Switch games it is 6900 yen and DQ  heroes 1 and 2 are complete games . Just looking at D5 and if you compare the 2 will make DQ bundle a steal price for a launch title.

Clearly for launch the shipments were high for most games, otherwise Zelda would be close to sold out. I think for that price, it would be normal for PS systems. But for Nintendo systems the price might seem obscene to most buyers, even if it is a good deal.

Some retailer could sell 6 games for 25000 yen or similar deals and it would be a good deal and in fact better deal then DQ, but nobody would buy it due to the high asking price. 

Low asking price is actually a pretty good explanation for why GTAV and Minecraft continue to show legs. With that said, I do not expect any legs to speak of for DQ without price promotions.
