"Either FE3 DS sold WAY better than expected (ie: ~250-300k), or DQMBVR sold WAY worse (ie: ~120-150k). :"

@jarrod  

I'm afraid your second scenario is starting to be the more likely :(

It could be something like this:

01. [NDS] Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem - Hero of Light and Shadow (Nintendo) - 160,000
02. [WII] Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road Victory (Square Enix) - 140,000

Much more likey than:

01. [NDS] Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem - Hero of Light and Shadow (Nintendo) - 220,000
02. [WII] Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road Victory (Square Enix) - 210,000

Anyway it seems Last Ranker did it above expectations unless Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2010 had bombed hard and Inazuma Eleven 3 had had a terrible drop (-70%) which is extremely unlikely. At this point I have it at 60k - 70k.

 

 

Ugh, fuck.  Wii is so dead in Japan.  Time for Wii HiFi asap.

Seriously, DQMBRV should've been an easy 500k plus seller, with these sales it'll be doing around half that.  Total bomb imo, it's first shipment was 300k and given then, I doubt it even gets a second.

I'll hold out some hope it did better though, Fire Emblem 3 is the most popular game in the entire series (the SFC original sold 750k ltd).  Maybe it did somewhat better than Shadow Dragon's debut (140k)?

 

I also wouldn't rule out a steeper IE3 drop, the game was WAY more frontloaded than IE2, and the World Cup fever may have driven some of that earlier adoption.  Power Pro 2010 PSP would be a gigantic drop though, but then all the previous PSP entries were exclusives (while 2010 is competing with a PS3 version, something that also didn't quite work out in PSP's favor with Winning Eleven Blue Samurai).  We'll see though...


Jarrod chill. Wait for the numbers and judge. Their might be a few surprises in the end.
