Well like 600k of it's sales are on steam, plus this is shipped + digital not sold. But yes, I agree with you. 

 

This game will probably do 2.5 - 3 mil life time : ) Funny how all these "niche" "japanese" games that supposedly don't matter to the industry are selling like hotcakes. What game could be made like this in the west? What game in the west could have this "niche status" but still sell so well? People really need to look at things from a more nuanced perspective. The fact that this game won't sell Call of Duty numbers has nothing to do with it's country, or being "niche", it's about providing a product with a much more focused scope that ends up doing Triple A numbers. This, Persona, and Nioh will probably all sell 2.5-3 million lifetime(maybe a tad less for Nioh). Good for the Japanese game industry. 

To be honest, I doubt Persona 5 will sell much copies anymore. Unless they do a re-release. It ain't gona reach that sweet 2M spot.

It only needs to sell 200K copies to reach 2m. Do you think Persona 5 will just stop selling at 1.8M?
