The 1.27 is not how much it sold in Japan. That is how much it sold this quarter outside of Japan. We know during its launch week it sold 1 million in Japan alone. According to Famitsu it sold roughly 500k physical. Leaving about 500k digital in its opening week. The game has sold another 500k physically since then. That is roughly 1.5 million sales accounted for in Japan. With unknown digital sales likely adding another couple hundred thousand. Sales in Japan are likely near 2 million.
