Digging deeper,

Bowser's inside story sold 4.5mil

Dream team sold 2.2 mil

While all DQ games sell over 2mil the last DQ game to sell really well is 9 on the DS with 5.2 mil.

Then again DQ never had the presence  in the west...

 

The closest thing I can find to compare this game to is bravely default, but apparently it's actually doubling THAT game in sales so I think 3M is a lock in.

 

I think the reason they stocked so low is because they were expecting bravely default sales levels. Currently the demand is at least double that.

So Mario+Luigi and DQ breaking the 2M mark. Still nothing Octopath can do.

To the bolded: There comes the information from, it doubles sales of Bravely Default? So far I'm only aware of Japanese numbers, which were 140K for Bravely and 110K for Octopath while supply constraint (Square really shipped less than Bravely - did they really think it would do worse?). While I think the idea it does better in the West could have merit, as Bravely was on handheld and apparently the west is averse to handheld, it must've doing a lot better in the west to not only outdo the worse performance in Japan, but actually lead to doubled sales.

Apparently it's doubling sales in Europe to be precise, where it is NOT having supply contraints.

Octopath is currently out of stock in US and JP so there is that... And supply constraints merely mean more digital sales these days.
