Damn Wizardry did rather poorly. Really sad to see for the game that massively influenced JRPGs. Wizardry was absolutely huge in the 80's in Japan, and now it can't even break the 10k sales on any platform.

I mean it's just a limited physical release, the actual game released digitally first a while back so I don't know about its actual initial sales there but Wizardry was likely not going to maintain its appeal the moment actual home franchises like DQ and FF pointed themselves in the market by the end of the 80's.
