Guys seems to be forgetting what legs means...
If the game sold 1.2M in 2 weeks and them on the next 6 weeks it only sold 50k (not exact numbers) that is a definition of weak legs... sure it could go to sell 6M after 3 years and the guy would be wrong. But so far the only accusation of being wrong is because you don't like his conclusion.

No.  The accusation of being wrong is because the article falsely represents 2 weeks worth of sales as being 6 weeks worth of sales.  The report that gives those numbers only covers until the end of June, and the article presents it as including almost all of July.  The numbers for July, the numbers that would prove or disprove the point, don't exist yet.  It's like someone only having box office data for the first two weekends Wonder Woman was in theaters and concluding that the film flopped when he doesn't have the information on the rest of the movie's run.

That the numbers are wrong is obvious. But look at all the answers in the thread... Sorry to inform you most are saying it's a success for selling 1.2M in 2 weeks. Legs have nothing to do with how much it sold on launch, but how much post launch sales were.
