I don't think more fanservice would necessarily have saved it, as there are plenty of fanservice shows with worse sales. Plus, these are only first-week sales, and we should continue to see a bit of second-week sales push it up a bit further. It's still over 8k total, which is quite good. As Westlo said, drop-off like this is extremely common (basically the rule, with only a few exceptions each season).
