Well numbers are in (though we are in November) Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave - 1.34m (2 weeks) Starfox - 1.17m (4 months) Star Fox surprised me for actually crossing 1 million units, I thought it was going to just miss the target. Still, Fire Emblem proved to be indeed bigger than Star Fox, outselling it in its launch window, despite costing 30 USD more than Star Fox Now I'm curious to see if all FE sales will be fandom driven and fall of a cliff like Engage/Echoes and finish 1.5 to 2 million range, or if it will follow the sales pattern of the most popular titles (Awakening, Fates, 3 Houses) and sell in 3~4 million range |
I think it’s still too early to say which series is truly bigger (or at least has more potential). Remember that Fire Emblem has now had over a decade of consistent, well received releases on popular platforms with strong backing from Nintendo (starting with Awakening in 2012/2013). On the other hand, this is Star Fox’s big return and a fresh start, will it have legs and pave the way for a brand new entry to grow from here or has the industry moved beyond Star Fox and this is all it’s capable of?
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
