The news stories saying that the sales for the game are "disappointing" are entirely misleading for the sake of being clickbait.

The sales data that was released is counted as a 'week', but at the time those figures were released, the game had only been out for 2 days compared to the full 7 that the other games in Japan's charts were. Everyone's just jumping on the bandwagon in terms of reporting it just to get people reading the story. I would wait until more sales data turns up another week from now and then conclude from it.

In either case, I have a feeling the game is going to sell much better overseas as Japan's console market has been shrinking for a while now. I know that I was lucky to pre-order the First Print Edition for Europe when I did because it was sold out in a matter of hours after being made available. Plus, with the bargain of getting 2 games in one, most people will be picking up the game because of that deal.
