@ Jarrod, Disgaea 3is a known franchise with a pretty hardcore fanbase while Absolute Hero is not only a new franchise but also from a pretty niche genre (ditto for Disgaea). Those number aren't great but is it really a bomb?

Yeah, it's a bomb.  NIS isn't in good shape and this is their highest profile release since D3 (and it's by the same team).  It's more of a side project for the Disgaea team though, so hopefully means they're busting ass on Disgaea 4 for this fall.  

Still, this game should've probably moved double 1st week.  Really really bad for NIS and Team Disgaea.  Maybe it'll have legs though...

Really? I just fine it odd that this was a hi profile release when the during their quarterly where they announce their massive lost they didn't even mention this game in their 'strategy' to get back in the game... just more Disgaea planned for this year or something o_O

Oh, this is still a big game for NIS. Relative to NIS.

It has a lot of cameos from various anime as well, but it's still a PSP SRPG. It's sad to see it not selling very well, but a lot of games are underperforming right now.

Minor correction, it's actually a PSP roguelike.  Even more niche! D:

Well now I'm kinda sad. The I got to appreciate NIS late, the PSP Disgaea now rank as one of my all time favourite game. I hope they don't crash and burn >.<

Strikeforce is not that fun...And I guess many have found that out when they bought the first one.

The only thing I can think of why the second entry (and maybe the last) of that franchise has low first day sales.

Tomodachi is a crazy beast, probably Wii needed more Tomodachi than DS.
