Shin Megami Tensei IV launched in North America last month. How’d it do? Pretty darn good all things considered.

In its first couple of weeks on the market, Shin Megami Tensei IV moved between 65,000 and 70,000 units in the US. That’s according to the reliable NPD leaker Creamsugar.

European Devil Survivor 2 pre-orders currently stand at 627 copies. Ghostlight will need to see roughly 1,800 reservations in order to go ahead with its plans to publish the RPG.

Pre-orders will remain open for just two more weeks. If the target isn’t reached by August 30, Devil Survivor 2’s launch in Europe will be in serious jeopardy.

Nintendo has issued a response to the latest NPD report. The company confirmed that the 3DS was the best-selling system in the US for the month of July – the third consecutive month that the handheld accomplished such a feat.
