GAF calculated between 6 and 10K, which is Monster Hunter level. Not bad, but it might be heavily frontloaded like most JRPGs.


I think it might end up a little higher than that. Combined last week bioshock did 19.5k so assuming a drop to 15 combined for this week and fire emblem should be somewhere close to that.


Bioshock was down 43%.  Bioshock 360 had an identical share to last week.  Using VGC numbers, that would put Fire Emblem between 7,300 and 11,700.

Considering the scale of the hardware boost, I suspect we have been overtracking the 3DS in the UK.    Unless the existing install base has just given up on buying games, it doesn't seem likely that a game that sold at most 11.7k would boost hardware to a near identical amount.
