According to VGC the game has sold 300k units + digital across two platforms and an installbase of 75-80 million systems in 7-8 months
Switchversion has sold 10k + digital units on an install base of 1 millionish (japan) in 3 days. What to expect from the other regions I have no idea...
What were you expecting/hoping for?

Around 30k would be pretty solid. 10k is pretty much visual novel/ nippon ichi level sales.

A late port was never gonna do anything super amazing anyways, I'm sure they knew that to some capacity, although it might still have a better shot in the west, as well as digitally however. They're making a Story of Seasons game for the Switch, that's probably the title that will be able to grab Marvelous' attention to the Switch at least to see it as the next step from 3DS.

I mean, if this is their test for viability then someone in management needs to be fired because ANYONE could have predicted this outcome. It's a late port, the game is fairly niche, and it launched alongside one of the most hyped games Japan has had launch in years that isn't Pokemon or Monster Hunter.

Of course it doesnt mean that the switch is not viable for Marvelous. Just saying that this level of sales is pretty weak and doesn't paint a very bright picture for 3rd parties.

How does a late port paint a bad picture for 3rd parties? The only way I see anything painting a bad picture is if it releases as the same time as the others and sells very poorly in comparison. Late Ports should never be used to say how viable it is for 3rd parties in general.
