More then saying the sales are either good or bad, I think it makes more sense to contextualise what the numbers mean...

Of course we need to wait to see legs but incase it's a typical JRPG nose dive, then it right now appears that there isn't a huge audience on the Switch 2 for this kind of AAA JRPG, and or the audience already played it on Playstation/PC (multiplatform ownership).

Unlike what we see with some Microsoft's late port efforts on Playstation where they go on to do bigger numbers than many new game releases (Forza was the one of the best selling games on playstation in 2025, Sea of Thieves in 2024)

Switch 2's userbase is still very young, so plenty of potential for sales to hold up over time 

Multi-console ownership is probably high in Switch 2's userbase at present, simply cos the kind of person who'd buy a new console in its first 8 months is likely to be an enthusiast, and enthusiasts are likely to own multiple systems.

On a global scale, the game sold out at a lot of places, so demand does seem to be higher than Square's expectations.
