You have to consider context. The only Ace Combat game to surpass 1 million sales in the past 11 years was Assault Horizon, which was universally panned by both fans and Project Aces themselves. We haven't had an audience of Infinity's size since over 11 years ago, and that's the key here. There hasn't been this much interest in the series for a long time. That's the major point of Infinity. Yeah, maybe the money it made went directly to 7's development, but the very idea of creating 7 in the first place was most assuredly dependent on the number of people who gave Infinity a try to show their potential interest. 7, especially with the VR implementation, is not being 100% funded by Infinity. But the point is, we've never had an audience of this many people in over a decade. And now we have it again.
