Shin Megami Tensei IV Final’s debut Japanese sales are half of its predecessor, 73% sell-through
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 16 Comments
Shin Megami Tensei IV Final sold just over 96,000 copies in its first week in Japan, as reported by Media Create a few days ago. The sales tracker has since relayed additional information about the game’s performance.
According to Media Create’s data, Shin Megami Tensei IV Final sold through 73.28 percent of its initial shipment. On the other hand, the first Shin Megami Tensei IV sold 189,000 copies in its first week with a sell-through rate of 80.14 percent. That means sales were halved with Final, and the consumption rate was a bit lower. This new 3DS entry also saw about half as many few pre-orders – 56,000 units compared to the original’s 98,000 copies. Overall, Media Create points to an assumption that a percentage of series fans who bought the prequel have left the scene.

Just like in Europe and Japan, Pokemon Rumble World will be seeing a retail release in North America. This will launch on April 29.
Pokemon Rumble World’s retail version ditches the in-game purchases. As soon as the tutorial ends, you’ll receive 3,000 Poke Diamonds and a Poke Diamond Digger at the in-game shop. Players will also be given 40 Poke Diamonds each day.
Pokemon VIP Cards can be obtained in the in-game shop. The Balloon VIP card lets you inflate any hot-air balloon for a single Poke Diamond. Also, the Timing Stop VIP Card lets you use the Timing Stop to pick which stage you’d like to visit for only one Poke Diamond. You’ll need to acquire the Timing Stop before acquiring the Timing Stop VIP Card.
Note that saved data cannot be transferred between the free-to-download and package versions. However, StreetPass and SpotPass functionality will work between the two games.
