Fire Emblem Fates Boasts the Best-Ever Launch for the Series in the United States

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With more than 300,000 units sold between all versions of the Fire Emblem Fates game during its launch weekend, the Nintendo 3DS strategy RPG earns a place in the record books as the fastest-selling game in the history of the long-running, critically acclaimed franchise in the United States. The game sold more than five times as many units as 2013’s Fire Emblem Awakening, the previous record holder in the United States, during its first three days of availability.

"censorship"
"bad localization"
"nintendo is killing the franchise and fanbase"



// Mod Edit:

Awakening's debut month was 180K for physical + digital. Note that this was for the launch month versus the first three days for Fates:http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=524145

Amazing! Even with all the bullshit surrounding this game lately... Those are great news :). I guess these numbers are for both Birthright+Conquest, even so, I think they're both selling more than Awakening FW. At least Birthright, not sure about Conquest. 

EDIT: Waiting for the first "Nintendo fans are supporting censorship" in 3,2,1...

So it's 60k FW awakening. Makes sense especially with the stock problem and high digital

I've been playing the Awakening demo for the first time and I am really loving it

But the game is so freaking expensive in my country, even if it's 3 years old. This is ridiculous

I am going to FUCKING LOVE THIS and UPCOMING FE FATES SALES THREADS!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I thought the sales would be low because of no:
- FACE TOUCHING
- MAKING ORGASM NOISES
- LESS CLOTHES/NUDITY OPTIONS
- NO JAPANESE VOICES

I thought this is why JRPGS mostly sell? XD



Pocky Lover Boy!

Yeah.... even here in Australia. Those Highly rated and Popular 3DS games Retail Price aren't lowering.
