Game like this need and deserve good profit.

Given that 1M announcement from SE, that means either an extremely high digital ratio for a game on a Nintendo console with a physical release, or amazing legs combined with only a semi-high digital ratio for a Nintendo console game. Given the supposed shortage either is possible, depending on how Japanese fans handled that shortage.

Fantastic first couple of days! I'm sure there was a high percentage of downloads to add to that number as well.

Sounds pretty low considering Square Enix announced 1M sold 2 weeks after release. On the other hand, probably high digital ratio due to shortages, especially in Japan
