That's not really falling off a cliff hard though. Falling off a cliff hard would be if it doesn't reach even 2 million lifetime.

Not really, how many games sell double there lifetime after there intial shipment? Most games (exclude 1st party nintendo) afterwards does most of there sales within there first couple of days/weeks.

 

If the bar for OT is just under 2mil for "falling off a cliff" then what is it for the rest?

 

2.5mil "sales slowed down"

3mil "did ok"

3.5mil "better than expected"

....

 

See? Falling off a cliff is games that disappear from the charts, never heard of again.

 

OT can do 1.5mil lifetime and "falling off a cliff" still would be extremly inaccurate

Anything over 2 million would be "exceeded expectations" in my book. Anything over 3 million would be "did amazing."
