Sellthrough is as expected for retailers.

The sales aren't good though. It won't crack 100k now.

That ARF game did 2k more on the 1st day than Fragile and Muramasa.

We were also have a discussion on this topic in this thread.

Arc Fanatasia first day sales are in Muramasa (16k) and Fragile (16k) region.
Hardcore Wii games don't have the legs of casual ones so I woudn't expect any record. Maybe 50-60k lifetime.

Yeah, 60k is a pretty probable LT sale for ARF... lets hope for the best :|

I expect that ARF will do a lot more in America though; I don't think Marvelous was expecting this game to be huge anyway. Case in point: the first title in Luminous Arc didn't do all that well in Japan, but abroad it got better sales. This is imageepoch's first Wii title, and it'll probably be like their first DS title was; an initial sales disappointment but ultimately profitable.

FTW, the Japan Preview raises its total so far to 28000. That IS bigger than Muramasa and Fragile. I don't expect this game to be huge, but I don't expect it to be a complete disaster either. It'll probably be a cult hit in Japan and have bigger numbers worldwide.

@ JTurner

The only problem with that is that Arc Rise costs a whole lot more than Luminous Arc.

All I was saying was I think it's too soon to consider ARF a failure. We'll have to see how it plays out for the next weeks. (I'm also hoping that a full OST will be released of this game, and maybe Muramasa; if Fragile could get one so can these two.)

i expect better legs than both... well hopefully
