"[NSW] Winning Post 9 2022 (Koei Tecmo, 04/14/22) – 12,704 (New)"

You gotta wonder, are games like this profitable? That's a rather paltry sales number, no matter whatever digital sales are added. And this(Japan) is its market. Sure there's another ~10,000 sales on PS4, and it's iterative, meaning a lot of the work is done from previous games, but... meh...

[NSW] Battle Spirits: Connected Battlers (FuRyu, 04/14/22) – 10,764 (New)

And this is no better.

[NSW] 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (ATLUS, 04/14/22) – 27,199 (New)

This is the best entry of the week, at number 2. But again, will Atlus see that as a success? It's a late port of a PS4 game. Nintendo games sell 10 times this in their sleep at launch. And Kirby and the Forgotten Land comfortably outsold it, despite being weeks older.

BOTW finally crossed the 2 million physical sales milestone, it deserves all of its success. While Mario Party Superstars and Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics will probably take the rest of the year to reach 1 million each, at the rate they're selling.

That's a great result for 13 Sentinels, not that much lower than the original on PS4 (35k something). It's a least 1.5 million bucks of revenue for a port job. On its first week. And Japan only. For a niche genre (visual novel/RTS) - Globally, it should reach 200k easily

So if I had to guess, I'd guess that yes, they should be VERY pleased with the results.
