Diomedes, no one thought Fire Emblem would be a huge seller. The GC version sold 155k lifetime. So how is the the Wii incarnation selling 70k the first week a bad thing? Personally, I thought Fire Emblem would sell 35 to 45k the first week. I said so in a prior thread, you can look it up if you like. So it exceeded my expectations. VF4 sold over 3.5 times as many units as Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance over its life time. VF4 sold over 3.5 times as many units as Path of Radiance did its first week. Goddess of Dawn sold 70% of Path of Radiances sales its first week. VF5 sold about an 1/8th of VF4's first week sales. So Diomedes, does that explain why Fire Emblem sales can be considered a success and VF5 sales can be considered a failure?
