Fire Emblem Fates sells over 300,000 units in North America, series’ fastest-selling game in the U.S.
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 128 Comments
Fire Emblem Fates sold over 300,000 copies between all versions during its launch weekend, Nintendo has announced. It’s now the fastest-selling game in the history of the franchise in the United States.
Fire Emblem Fates managed to sell more than five times as many units as Fire Emblem Awakening. That game was the previous record holder in the United States during its first three days of availability.
Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright was the top seller between both versions, though Conquest was “close behind.”
Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive VP of sales and marketing, said of today’s news:
“Both fans and critics are falling for Fire Emblem Fates, and the early sales numbers prove the game’s undeniable appeal. This strong momentum for Nintendo 3DS is only the beginning, as many more high-quality exclusive games are set to launch for the hand-held system over the next few months.”

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.

January 2016 NPD: Estimated Wii U sales, Mario & Luigi and Final Fantasy Explorers sales
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 8 Comments
More information is in from this month’s NPD report. We have sales data from the United States for one of Nintendo’s systems as well as two games.
First, in terms of hardware, Wii U sold roughly 40,000 units. Debut sales for Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam and Final Fantasy Explorers also came in at 71,000 and 53,000 copies respectively.
With the games, it’s important to remember that digital sales are not included. They also launched pretty late in January, so they only have about a week of data.
