Forums - Nintendo Discussion - June 2017 NPD: ARMS sells over 250,000 copies in June

Green098 on 20 July 2017

 

Early data for ARMS indicates that the Switch fighter is off to a solid start thus far. In the latest NPD report, we learned that it was the fifth best-selling game in the United States for the month of June. Additional data is in as well.

GamesBeat heard from Nintendo that ARMS sold 256,000 copies between physical and digital sales. As a new IP on a relatively small install base, that isn’t too shabby.

Still hoping for 3m lifetime even though fighting games outside of Smash and NRS games seem to be becoming a niche genre.

Decent opening.Obviously hold back by the Switch install base, but overall it was decent.Not great, not bad, in the middle.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Similar to Splatoon then, great number for a new IP on a new console

according to Media Create and Famitsu, it sold in the 150-170k in Japan without including digital so US+Japan alone is in the 400-450k range.

When factoring in the rest of the world, 600k+ is very likely.
