If you're implying that what I said wasn't a rational thing to say, then I'll disagree. From my point of view, people who didn't believe Octopath would ship 1m after one month probably projected the game to sell less than 2m lifetime, which to me is underestimating its selling potential. Kirby and Xenoblade 2 shipped 1m+ in a month and those two games are about in the same sensible sales range compared to Octopath Traveler (around 2-3m). If a game that's not as accessible to non-JRPG fans like Xenoblade 2 could ship 1m in a month, then Octopath should be able to do it as well. Also, Kirby and Tropical Freeze (another game that probably shipped 1m+ in a month) had similar pre-order performances chart-wise on Amazon compared to Octopath Traveler which made it relatively safe to guess that Octopath would sell 1m in less than a month.
