3. Sales for Nintendo games aren't 10%-15%. All games vary but avg out (at least on 3DS) to about 3%-5%


I said my opinion, plus you just said 100k digital sales so I was right.

Animal Crossing in Japan has sold over 1,000,000 digital sales which is roughly 25% of total Japanese sales.


I cant say for Europe but US i kno most games are under 5%. Maybe some games are 5%-10% digital sales, but only AC+Fire Emblem have huge Digital sales. LoZ does but most likely due to the popular bundle.

In japan Digital sales for pokenon XY are about 1%, maybe 2% according to famitsu. AC has the best digital sales, MH4 has about 6%-8% and thats cuz the first month had supply shortages!

Really Pokemon in Japan only 1% digital? I'm going to go on record and say that is entirely not true. Games like that are preferable downloaded IMO.

Pokemon sold over 3mil in japan, under 50k is digital sales (famitsu numbers)

Famitsu only tracks people buying the physical digital cards that have the code.

Not someone going straight to the eshop and using their credit / debit card.

3 mistakes you made


1. 9 days not 8!

2. Sales are 517k in the US not 550k (you mixed up NoA with US) http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/41609/USA/

3. Sales for Nintendo games aren't 10%-15%. All games vary but avg out (at least on 3DS) to about 3%-5%

Srry if i come off like an ***! Just being honest O.o

Here are facts though

Digital sales with 12 days in the US has reached over 100k

Also here is my comparison thread to Spirit tracks

I said on avg!  LoZ has at least 20% yes, and aside from it in the US, Fire Emblem/AC are the only ones with a 10% or more attach ratio

Don't forget the Limited Edition Zelda 3DS XL includes a digital version of the game, not physical though. Wonder how many consoles they made. Picked one up at the weekend and my local GAME had a few in stock so looks like it was a pretty big run.

Having had a quick look at the game, I hope it manages the 6-10m mark. They've really nailed the feeling of Link to the Past and Link's awakening (something which I don't think the GBA/DS zeldas previously managed.)



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

I think when it was announced I said to would sell 7-8 million lifetime. I still think that. My thought process is that it is like a "New" LoZ, and will follow a similar sales trend as NSMB did in comparison to the early Mario games. LoZ and ALttP have some of the best sales numbers of the series, and I see ALBW tapping into that.
