Hm, it seems it's up to us westerners to buy Disagea 5 and I am Setsuna to show our support for these games! But first I have to beat Zelda...and maybe play some Mariokart.

Thats really sad, but then again when i think about it its not a big franchise and its been out for over 2 years so whatever fans where out there already played it, sure it has extra content since its the complete version but seems like not event that was enough to bring in new potential fans.

Disgaea 5 bombed everywhere, your support won't change the series fate.

It did? Color me surprised, didn't NIS saythe game needed to sell 150? and If I remember correctly, its first week in Japan was horrible. 

Yeah thought I seen that 

A pleasant surprise. I guess a steam port is possible. 

So Zelda on Switch accounting for around 80% of the total sales in Zelda's weakest major market? This is an unmistakable sign that indeed a whole lot of pre-orders are/were Wii U owners who simply want the best version. This will make the coming weeks and months a whole lot more interesting, I have a feeling that sales will slow down to a fairly uninspiring level globally when the dust has settled and a MK8 remake is supposed to carry momentum until Splatoon 2 hits stores this summer.

Time will tell though, but I don't think any console will have a great year, to be honest.

That argument doesn't hold much weight when this is the exact same thing NIS have done with every previous Disgaea game (a late handheld port with all the DLC included) and every prior game sold miles better than that. Even if you say "well, Disgaea 5 sold less in general so it makes sense", it's still proportionally lower than every other handheld port (Disgaea 3 and 4 on Vita sold ~ 41% of the PS3 versions sales in their first week; Disgaea 5 on Switch has sold 21%).

It's poor, but there's time for them to claw it back. Bear in mind that Disgaea 5 isn't even the biggest Nippon Ichi bomba in the Famitsu top 30 this week (that honor goes to Witch & Hundred Knight 2).

Nintendo Switch has me excited for the future. Don't screw this up, Nintendo.

Nice. About 80% is the perfect Pac-Man.

Zelda decent launch, a little higher than TP was. About the same as Skyward Sword, but that wasn't a launch title obviously. Hopefully BotW isn't very front-loaded like TP wasn't and can pull off a respectable lifetime number and reverse the slow decline of the series a bit.
