I'm really interested in seeing NPD numbers for this month. I hate to be that guy, but I just don't get 3DS sales in North America. I know it's not some kind of blockbuster, but Fire Emblem opened to a very nice 170k, and it's already the bestselling retail game on the NA eShop, even beating New Super Mario Bros. 2. Last year Resident Evil opened to 86k sales, and 3DS got a 17% boost; Kid Icarus opened to 95k and 3DS got an 11% boost; why did it drop 6% the week of Fire Emblem's release? Why is it still under 20k?
I accept the figures, but I don't understand them. I'm hoping we're in for some upward adjustments next month, because this is just bizarre to me.
