1st is pretty optimistic, but 1st for games which can be purchased in stores is a reasonable assumption (though it may be there already).

And this is, what, your 5th FE thread? Isn't the point of an official thread to avoid scenarios like this one?



lol, my bad. its just i love FE! Just like you!

Seems most people chose 5th... I did it first!

You're right it's only getting those downloads because it's hard to come by on phyical chip right now. It kind of pissed me off that the shipping got screwed up but no really cares I can still get to play it.

But no it won't get 1st, I don't even think it'll stay high up there when they bring more phyical copies to stores.

 

it can stay in the top 10 imo, It'll be like Xenoblade but since you can download it, it'll get those sales!

 

I guess it's like Xenoblade in the fact that there ain't that many phycial copies out there YET! And a lot people are downloading it now because of that. But it can all change once more copies are shipped to stores. And do you know the download sells for this game, that would be nice to know.



yea i know! I wish they display both retail and digital sales! FW will probably have like 60k but in reality it should be like 200k! Also this game and KIU are my favorite so far for 3DS!



I think ~75% of anybody I Streetpass nowadays, their most recently played Fire Emblem

Maybe due to the shipping issues, many people opted to buy the game digitally. I bought it digitally as well but because it was avialable digital at the turn of Midnight so didn't even have to wait until morning for the stores to open.

...

The game is phenomenal... the best game on the 3DS to date. I can't imagine sales slowing down because I expect the word of mouth to persist. Sure it wont have the long sales legs of something like New Super Mario Bros 2, but it will still sell very well (digitally).

I think the digital sales pace will slow down and then surge again down the road once physical in the stores becomes more scarce.

Cant believe people will finally be getting into this! This Franchise deserves to be a 2-3mil Software per Title imo, anyway yea my favorite game with KIU right next to it! I think FE will be more popular over here then Japan. 1st Mil title and much more in the franchise!

Just keep spreading the word guys. We europeans are still waiting....

 



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Ahh! You tricked me into entering your thread! I've been successfully avoiding it this whole time. I still don't have a copy x_x

Also, @Conegamer: A separate thread is better imo.

and @NinPie: "Don't be pushin' the kid" - 45 year old man confirmed.

So what's the top game at the moment?
