Come on, man. We've been over this. It set records. It's legitimately hugely popular. At least two of my Steam friends and one of my IRL acquaintances are playing it.
12m is ridiculous. That would mean that an extremely niche title that only fans of a children's book would play, that's $70 retail, blew everything else out of the water.
I'm not buying into that. I can believe it sold well, I'm not believing that it's the biggest thing in games, period.
I like Harry Potter fine, but I'm no superfan or anything. It's a solid 8/10 with genuinely fun combat and near perfectly captured atmosphere. The humiliation and agony of our enemies is just a nice bonus.

I think it counts as niche, because it's very much something that you have to be heavily into to consider playing.
Somebody who only casually likes football might play FIFA, but somebody who only knows a little about Harry Potter won't have fun with this game.
You are legitimately delusional and retarded.
