4 million in a little under 3 months isn't really bad at all, I feel like runaway viral successes have conditioned us to be less impressed with these kind of numbers.

Circana has it as the second highest selling game of the year to date in the US, and there's still the Switch 2 release to come.

Wait… are some actually saying 007 hasn’t performed well? Like you said, this is the second highest selling game in NA this year per Circana. Four million is very big, not many games hit this so quickly at a $70USD price tag. Especially when discounts have been nonexistent (I would know, I’ve been waiting for a discount to get this game for my bro).

The context of my comment is me predicting it would sell 6-7 million by year's end, and Otter predicting 6 million as soon as July (and potentially 10 million by year's end).

The game sold well, but slowed down more than expected. It hit 2.7 million in a week, then added 1.3 million in the next 80~ days. For a $200 million licensed game, the results so far are good but nothing amazing, and that's okay.
