The install base is kinda large, actually, at least compared to the other next-gen consoles. 

In comparison to the other systems, yes. In comparison to Knack sales, not really.

600k without counting bundled-games isn't a surprise, considering it was one of their most sowcased games. Only 1 in 6 customers bought it, which isn't amazing at all for such an advertised game.

Fire Emblem's sales have made me the happiest! Knowing it did that well and it's life dependent on good numbers and it succeeded is good for business... Insert HHH meme/gif/video xD

Yokai Watch has definitely been the breakout hit of the generation thus far.

A critically panned game with zero pre-launch hype behind it and very minimal dedicated advertisement having a ~15% attach rate isn't surprising?

Whatever you say man.

Yes definitely, New IP and over 10x it sold first month and keeps on going. its a million seller already, we dont kno the digital sales this month which is important due to the promotion going on with the LL.

This reminds me of Attack on Titan + Hunter x Hunter major success in the manga department cuz of the anime (both amoung my top 10 manga/animes of all time)



 

I mostly only care about Japanese sales these days.  These 6 games all performed miles better than what I was initially expecting for them.  And my expectations are normally pretty high.

I have loads of games which underperformed too, but that isn't for this thread!

Minimal dedicated advertising? You're kidding, right?
