Earlier this week, Media Create data revealed that Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns sold 100,000 copies in its first week in Japan. Per usual, the sales tracker has now followed up with a report that offers more insight into the title’s debut.
Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns sold through 61.29 percent of its initial shipment. It didn’t live up to the original game in both first week sales (131,000 units) and sell-through rate (73.07 percent). On the other hand, retailers have noticed that fans who’ve picked up the game are noticeably in their 30s, so it is suggested that there is a strong core fan base that has loyally followed the series through its 20 years.
Looking at the past 3DS releases of Story of Seasons (total sales 286,000 copies) and Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning (287,000 copies), both had managed a stable sales volume. Media Create is therefore observing whether Trio of Towns will be able to keep the same sales volume in the future.
