Well its probably undertracked for February. There is no way Fire Emblem didn't give it a boost when it has sold over 1.2 million already. Luigis Mansion 2, Animal Crossing, Mario and Luigi Dream Team, Pokemon X/Y , and Smash Bros. 4 are all coming. Plus E3 still isn't here yet either.


What? Fire Emblem isn't even at 1 million yet. 

@OP yeah I'm fairly sure it's no contest, 2013 has Pokemon. Pokemon alone would've made 3DS win.


I think he's referring to the potential eShop sales, which have to be relatively high.  

Well then he's estimating that 33% of all sales are from the E-shop. 



Of course I'm talking about E Shop sales. How the hell are you supposed to find a physical copy -_- I swear sometimes I worry about this site.

So you are saying that 33% of all FE sales are Digital? Seems like a fairly tall number.

Not really. It's sold extremely well on Eshop, and it has been nearly impossible to even find a physical copy of the game. Lets not forget the 1.2 million DLC's that have been sold.

Handheld market is headed downwards, 3DS is part of the handheld market. So my answer is no.

I would guess yes, because of NA and Europe getting some gamez at last and Japan getting some monster games soon.

in NoA it sold over 300k, i believe like i said in a thread i made a while back it has to be way over 100k, tbh i believe its over 200k! I means its the#1 retail title on eShop and #17 of all time (US). Only being beaten by popular apps and popular virtual games!

Exactly it doesn't even include NA

It'll probably be up again. Might take a while, but once MH4 and Pokemon XY release, Japan alone will make up the difference.

handheld market is not heading downwards (i mean to not existing!). Dont underestimate 3DS, it'll sell way over YoY
