Forums - Sales - Global UP! 23rd February 2013 (Global Software added)

Looks like everything's up.

The Wii U and the Vita... *sigh*



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

4,000 units of Persona 4 in the EU's first week? You kidding me?



must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse

800k for MGRR. Great first week!

Has any other HnS sold that well outside of GoW?

What's up with 3DS in America's? I think something is understracked. Fire Emblem had 170,000 pre-orders and only opened up to 200,000 sales, now crawling to 300,000 in Americas.

20,000 systems a week is half of what it did before the major adjustment a couple weeks back, and it's half of what it did in 2012 for the equivalent week. How are 3DS sales down Year on Year?

3DS seems low in the west (especially in the US). Could it be reaching market saturation?

How could it possibly be reaching saturation when Pokemon isn't out yet?

It only released on 22nd or 23rd I think.  So either 1 or 2 days worth of sales.  Wait until next week's chart before judging.

With that said, don't expect them to be great either.  Persona has never really done much in Europe.  P3P on PSP sold 30k physical according to our numbers.

Don't pay much attention to the pre-order chart, is the long and short of the answer to this.  It's notoriously bad at the best of times, but even worse at tracking pre-orders of niche genres (such as JRPG's).

I presume the current sales trend is because of January's NPD numbers.  We'll be getting the February figures in about a week, so just wait until then to see if we've been undertracking or not.  I suspect Fire Emblem might end up being overtracked like Ni No Kuni was, but we'll see.

well, that's odd. i was expecting more because it was really successful in NA, and the reactions to Persona 4 i have read on german websites were also very great. so i was kind of overwhelmed. although its just one or two days counted, 4k just feels kind of too low.
