Forums - Nintendo - Kid Icarus Uprising sales: 240k first week, good or bad ?

Soundwave said:

For what it's worth I bought this game on it's launch at Best Buy and they were pretty well stocked. Maybe had sold 1 copy when I had bought mine.

When I checked back there earlier in the week it was completely sold out to my surprise. Maybe word of mouth is spreading with kids or this is just an isolated incident.


Here in germany I saw something similar. But that are only some shops and may be a regional phenomenon. I'm thrilled to see how sharp the drop after the first week will be in the US and Europe.

Pretty good. It should stay up at a steady rate, given that it's by far the most promising game on the 3DS. 3DS owners just have to seek it out, because Kid Icarus isn't commonly known as Mario or Zelda is.



zero as fanbase? I'd bet with you that more than 2/3 of this sales are from people who played the original one.



Game of the year 2017 so far:

5. Resident Evil VII
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

I didn't know about the original one and never played that. And it's pretty old, I think there are many people like me, who didn't played the old Icarus, but buyed now the new one.

Week 2 was only a 50% drop! Can this become a long burner?

Racoon City is dropping much harder than Icarus, so KI is now selling better (as each Racoon alone, not both combined). Hopefully it will stay strong in the future.

i think it did very good. i wanted to buy it but in time i lost interest in it but hmm I'm in the mood to buy some games now sense i haven't done so in a while.

I'm thinking about Xenoblade, The last Story and Kid Icarus all at the same time



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

Second week was good too!
If tehy can have another week at 100k would be supreme!

I NEED one on my Wii-U now!



Switch!!!

Hmm, seems the numbers for the last week (first week) got some corrections. It was 240K before, now it is 243K.

I believe that is good, it needs to hit at least one million in its life span to be considered a decent selling game though. Considering it just returned after being dormant for quite a while it isn't terrible. Though always room for improvement.
