episteme on 28 February 2014
I think it sold as expected, but the pre-order numbers turned out to be too high.
You can compare it to Galaxy 2 and DKCR. They were 6 months apart and have a 10 point metascore difference.
3D World an DKCTF are 3 months apart and have a 11 point metascore difference.
Galaxy 2 USA FW: 705394, DKCR (Black Friday week): 470983, ratio: 1.5
3D World USA FW: 144156, DKCTF: 108845, ratio: 1,32
Galaxy 2 Japan FW: 340397, DKCR: 169260, ratio: 2,01
3D World Japan FW: 101798, DKCTF: 38265, ratio 2,66
Ok, Japan sales are more disappointing, but don't forget that DKCR was released in December in Japan.
