Makes you wonder is the era of JRPGs making a solid come back after falling apart post PS2.
Xenoblade 2 - 1.5m
Octopath - 1m and counting
Disgaea 5 - 500k
On other platforms Persona 5 and Nier:A did well if TWEWY and Valkriya do good I think JRPGs as a whole may have found their footing again.

I don't know about Valkyria, but The World Ends With You is an almost a decade old game with few upgrades, being sold at a full price. Doesn't bode well for that one, a $40 price point (like the original) would've been more compelling. Especially since nowadays is available on mobile for much less.

It didn’t stop DKC:TF from doing really well as a $60 port or Bayonetta 1/2 doing well for what it was or Kirby Star Allies despite people complaining it’s not even as beefy in terms of content compared to Triple Deluxe and $20 more.
really happy for the developers for this game, i'm a sony fan but netherless happy to hear such great news about this nice jrpg

People were saying that for the Wii U ports, they were proven wrong.
Well it's a success, and now that's established- Square Enix support should be blooming from here on out. It might actually beat Bravely Default in sales, but I wouldn't be surprised. I think the Switch audience is more in demand for these kinds of games than the 3DS was.
I want to see a Bravely Third. Not only was Bravely Default my favorite 3DS game, but quite possibly my favorite JRPG of all-time.
Less than the 2M people were talking on another thread, but quite good.

Very good sales for a New game and in this time frame (2-3 weeks) , I have about 40 hours of play and im really enjoying the game. Congratulations to SE and Nintendo.
The game is published by Nintendo. So it is a Nintendo game. Therefore it selling means nothing since we know Nintendo games always sell.
Also, the cliff is coming.

If that was actually the case, that would lead to a lot of weird scenarios. Like Minecraft being a Sony game, or Crash Bandicoot being a Sega game because they're publishing it on Switch in Japan. If all Nintendo games did sell well then maybe poor Wonderful 101 could of had a chance when they published it. Sadly not.
