It had been seeing pretty stagnant sales in Japan (not particularly bad sales, just never moving up no matter what they did) and it has never really been a hit in the west. Given the massive success of Persona Q (which I'm sure is going to sell massively better in the west, too) I wasn't sure they were going to return to this. So props to them for that. |
I can't imagine the dev costs for either IV or Untold were all that high so the the 200k-300k sales aren't terrible, are they? I don't know what you can exactly expec from a game that has effectively not changed since its inception. Its still the same Nocturne-style navigation, one-view combat, etc. The only that's really changed is the 3D animated sprites.
Unless 2DX suddenly changes up and freshens the stale IP and stale development therein, I doubt we'll see explosive sales ala FE: Awakening vs. previous FE installments.
