I am very surprised about this number. Given the quality of the Unnkulian 
games series, I expected the number of registrations to be at least in the 
three-digit range. 

This makes me curious: what is the corresponding number for UU1?

And, by the way:
How many copies of Unnkulia Zero were you able to sell? 
Hopefully, I wasn't the only one to order a copy (actually, I ordered 2 
copies; a friend of mine wanted one, too)!!

I've never seen any such number, and it would be very interesting to learn
something about the size of the "IF market".

Or are these numbers trade secrets? :-)
