Well yeah we know it was badly undershipped physically. We don't know whether that was simply because they didn't have very high expectations for it, or if they were pushing to have everyone but digitally. Maybe both. I'd assume mostly the latter given the weird announcement and release, in which case we don't know how much of a success that really was. Regardless the game has since been very available, and seemingly hasn't had better than expected legs.
At a time when remasters and remakes are doing better than ever, often selling more than the original, it's a rather questionable to see MPR on a path to selling significantly worse than the original release.
