I don't agree. Fire Emblem Shadows, and Metroid Samus Returns makes this a good year for 3DS. Plus I think titles like Monster Hunter Stories and Etrian Odyssey 5 would have sold even less if the 3DS wasn't being treated like a hot ticket item. And Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon ... I mean ... if those sell 6 million that will be good enough reason to release them.
Considering FE Shadows might end at .75-.90(not including digital) as a remake of an old game, well ... for a series that just recently started going to the 2 mil mark, that is very good. Not great, but good enough. Same could be said for Metroid.
FE and Metroid in particular are important turning points for both franchises in a symbolic way.
Now that being said, FE Fates sold like crazy(it's actually more accurate to say in the 3 mil range). So is there reason to be head over heals for Valentia's sales? Not really, but I think finishing off with .7-.9 will be good enough.
