haha just noticed that FM6 sales on VGC are hilariously wrong.
Just look at the 2017 sales so far

12k sales between January 1st and August 19th? Yeah sure. Especially when you consider that it's still much more expensive with ~30€ than other games that launched around the same time, which indicates that it's still selling a decent amount.

Do you have any number evidence to help us out?

Because having FM7 already launched and considering the drop on FM5 as well I don't think the numbers are too far from reality. Even worse, considering how low FM7 is on the ranks it can't be doing gangbusters.

12k in 33 weeks is only 52 copies sold a day... world wide. For the most recent title in the series. FM7 launch is irrelevant as data is only up to August 19th.
FM5 did 240k in its 3rd year and 128k in its 4th year. I don't see how FM6 with less than 1/3 of the year left is supposed to go from 12k to anywhere near that. The holidays are big, but they won't make it sell 19 times the amount it sold in the first 2/3 of the year.

There are several last gen games that still sell more than that. Hell we have FM5 outselling it almost 2.5:1 for the year.
