I heard someone saying they needed Legends Z-A to sell 200k to break even. Regardless I’m not surprised this game sold almost 1.5 million in JP. Judging by the sales in JP it’s probably going to be around the same world wide.
Yes your 100% correct.
Which is hilarious because the current word on the street is that it actually fell short of projected sales
According to rumors, I might prefer a water type game over a flying type game.
