Hmm I'm quite optimistic I think it's around the 40/50 range 

 


With digital it was or is probably more like 3-5 thousand in Americas. Very sad, but not the games fault, more Nintendos fault. Just another excuse to say MAture games do not sell on their systems, and third party does not matter so do not worry that much when there is not third party on the NX. My prediction.

Nintendo's fault? For what? Not outright rejecting it like every other major publisher did?

It's a crappy game the press hated and no one wanted. That's why it only sold 20-30 copies.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

"What was the point of releasing/even making this game if they werent gonna properly release it....."

 

Probably contract obligations. When they saw the game took a turn for the worse they pulled as much support as they legally could. That's my guess anyways :D

According to this site:

Devil's Third - 0.03

That is BAD.

Also, the game is currently at 94$ on Amazon, which doesnt help their case either.

the sales are bad because nintendo only made 420 physical copies of devil's third in the whole continent of North America, they later released it on the eshop but no one knows how much it sold there either. Devil's Third Multiplayer is really fun an addicting it's not really as bad as the critics say but it's still not worth $60, they should release a multiplayer only version for free or make it like $5-$15

Destructoid's article claimed that GameStop had 420 copies in its online store at that point in time. It didn't count any pre-orders, any purchases before the figure or any other copies that weren't available online for whatever reason. It also didn't include copies shipped to other retailers.

Did NOA print a load of copies? Almost certainly no, but it's still more than that 420 figure. It's likely that NOA had a much more reserved run after NOE and NAL overprinted the game (it's still available in virtually every store across Europe and Oceania, some of which have been selling it for less than half the suggested retail price). It's a very similar situation to Disaster: Day of Crisis on Wii in my view, with the difference that NOA actually released this one after seeing poor reception (both reviews and sales) in PAL territories.

I seen it was becoming rare and picked up a copy at my local gamestop on a whim.  I don't plan on opening it unless the price drops.
