| the_dengle said: 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 don't understand it either. i have my "goalpost chartz" thread and right around last NPD vgchartz drastically adjusted 3DS down post holidays. by drastically i mean divide by 2 or more from the previously reported january numbers. i don't know what information ioi found apparently he believe 3DS fell of the side of a cliff this january. looking at the trend i find it hard to believe it was drop so significantly after having a really good holiday (which was adjust up btw).
