Thats really sad, but then again when i think about it its not a big franchise and its been out for over 2 years so whatever fans where out there already played it, sure it has extra content since its the complete version but seems like not event that was enough to bring in new potential fans.

That argument doesn't hold much weight when this is the exact same thing NIS have done with every previous Disgaea game (a late handheld port with all the DLC included) and every prior game sold miles better than that. Even if you say "well, Disgaea 5 sold less in general so it makes sense", it's still proportionally lower than every other handheld port (Disgaea 3 and 4 on Vita sold ~ 41% of the PS3 versions sales in their first week; Disgaea 5 on Switch has sold 21%).

It's poor, but there's time for them to claw it back. Bear in mind that Disgaea 5 isn't even the biggest Nippon Ichi bomba in the Famitsu top 30 this week (that honor goes to Witch & Hundred Knight 2).

Yeah you are right about the handheld ports, then i guess the fanbase for the series just isnt on Nintendo since the majority of Disgaea games have been on PS, and i feel really bad for The Witch and The Hundred Knight 2 since its the type of game i would buy if i had the extra cash the game has some charm to it.
