That's pretty insane. Were the Japanese tired of Disgaea or something?

Maybe or they didn't feel the need double dip especially when it was a new console with only a few games and new controls. Also possible they didn't care too much for the story compared to earlier games

That's around half of the total tracked retail units sold on PS4 in NA/EU in a year and a half. That's impressive for a port.

First off, the Switch moved more units in NA/EU than in Japan, for various reasons, so that accounts for at least some of the pre-orders.

Second, Disgaea 5 already got a re-release over there as one of the "The Best" titles, so if they didn't get it the first time, they may have already gotten it a second time round.

Third, they had to pay for all of that DLC; I dunno how much it totals over there, but you can bet its a easy $25~$30 dollars worth. After all of that, as sailorsweeper said, they didn't want to double, or possibly even triple dip on this game =01.

Disgaea sells pretty bad in Japan surprisingly.

I didn't even know this game was available to pre-order. Certainly, they weren't doing so at the Targets and Toys R Usses I visited for other reasons.
