Bravely Second sold through 54% of its initial shipment
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 9 Comments
Based on Media Create data, Bravely Second sold 100,000 copies in its first week. How does that stack up to the first game?
Bravely Default: Flying Fairy ended up selling 142,000 copies in its first week. It also had a higher sell-through rate of 85.68 percent compared to Bravely Second’s 53.53 percent.
Media Create points out that Bravely Second is a direct sequel, so buyers were pretty much limited to those who tried out the original game, and it doesn’t look like it managed to attract the same amount of players. It’ll be interesting to see how Bravely Second sells during Golden Week.
