Where the f*** do you get those numbers ? Over 300k in Japan ? That's stupid.
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn was released on February 22, 2007 in Japan.
And accordind to Media-Create's top 500 for 2007, it has 'only' sold 159k in 2007 (during a period of 10 months).

Famitsu confirms that with 172k for the year 2007. (In its equivalent top 500 for 2007).

Its first week was around 70k, which means it has sold around 100k the 10 following months.

It would need to sell 130k in 6 months in 2008 to reach 300k. One year after its release. When sales are usually nearly dead for this kind of game. Non-Sense.

Plus Famitsu has released a top 100 for the first half of 2008, and no Fire Emblem appears in it, meaning that it has sold for certain below 66k. 300k, even shipped, is impossible for that game.

I don't know if the news about Nintendo not releasing Fire Emblem DS outside Japan is fake or not, but those numbers sure are.

Poor, ignorant reviews and low core userbase at the time ruined RD sales. That said, I'm not worried. I'm not sure, but I have confident that FE:DS will be localized. It's a handheld staple.

!!!
fsmn.

this really sucks. i was so looking forward to seeing marth in his first game.
seems like he will speak japanese in the next smash bros. too :(

Fire Emblem seems to have a bigger audience on handhelds as evidence by sales of past FE games that received a Western release.

i'm gonna go cry now....

Ehhhhh this sucks they better localize it for Amercia. Fire Emblem is the best SRPG out there.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! >.

If Nintendo doesn't localize Fire Emblem DS in English then they're officially dead to me.

There is no information that supports the author's claim. Also the VGChartz sales data for Fire Emblem Raidant Dawn is incomplete.

What the hell Nintendo... I expected that game on my DS.
