It will not be even a competition. I predict Fire Emblem will outsell Sly Cooper by 2:1.

Pretty much what happened (well, unless you count vita sales, then Sly is a little over the 99k mark.)

Not terrible considering I have not seen a single commercial for Sly Cooper.

Great sales for Fire Emblem though! It will definitely hit the million mark and I'm happy that NIntendo are giving the game the advertising that it deserves.

true but, FE is nowhere near as popular, and Vita+PS3 install base=80mil around 3DS almost 30mil!

If FE is nowhere near as popular, then how did it manage to outsell it?  ;)

I've said before, it was pretty much anybodys game with this one saleswise and criticwise because Fire Emblem took a lot of new chances and Sly Cooper was under a studio that's never made an actual platformer game (unless you count porting). I was hoping both games would be successes because I'm a big Sly Cooper fan and my bf is a big Fire Emblem fan. 

And 30 million is hardly a crutch for a console. Install bases isn't really relevant unless it's something that has sold less than 10 million. That's where we can take the crutches off of a console and compare it respectively. The biggest exclusive on the 3DS is already almost where the PS3's highest selling exclusive is saleswise.



true true! Well I meant FE wasn't as popular as b4 but now its coming out of its shell, Sly cooper I thought more people would buy especially since on two different systems and $40 price! Oh well, like i said b4 FE is way over 250k though, digital its at the #11 spot in the US in just under 2 weeks!
