Data must be mistaken. Third party games don't sell on Nintendo platforms. It is known.

"I believe the meme applies to third party games that are on multiple systems. A Nintendo exclusive obviously wouldn't apply."

Now imagine if Square hadn't underestimated and undershipped it

So as I expected, more than Bravely Second, less than Bravely Default. I suspect that will hold true of the lifetime sales as well. I'd say this bodes well for 1 million plus WW.

This game will have longer legs than Bravely Default. It will sell more I think.

We can hope. If the Switch has momentum that beats even the 3DS and gets closer to the Wii or beyond, I could see the legs being long enough.

Very happy that the game is doing well, I was so amazed when I first saw the game being revealed. While JRPG's aren't my thing I'm happy it's doing well.

With three days at sale, it will keep going up. Hardware too. I am thinking Octopath might have great legs, once the retail side of things get sorted. Also, nice top 5.

Can we stop this "three days" thing. Pretty much everything releases towards the end of the week. All is on fair footing. And first-day sales are anyways the most important.

Three days is three days. Not a week. It's as clear as it can be.
