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.

Have you considered the franchise is dying away?

FM7 launching would hold some sales even in August because it would have people holding off. And also, look at the ranking of the sales for FM7 perhaps interest have really dropped off. But we won't be sure before numbers really show up
