If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free

OoT was a remake and was launched in one million userbase and when the 3DS wasn't in its best moment. Still, managed a 90% sellthrough and 600k LTD.

A new entry in a +14 million userbase should have shipped much more. No more excuses.

We are talking about Portable Zelda, and the last Portable Zelda did great, and it was a remake. I don't get the low expectations.

Edit: Data available one hour before than expected.

It seems that Spirit Tracks heading for the bomba bin is still haunting retailers so many years later. Really should have oredered more copies.

Taiko must be the biggest surprise in terms of what people expected to crater is now really impressing. It'll obviously pass 100k in Week 1. Talk about legs so far! o_O

I don't know how it's impressive when its still a huge dropoff from the last game. Should have been multiplatform with the Wii

Happy with those Zelda sales. Hoping it cracks a million eventually. If Luigi's Mansion can do it, the best Zelda in 10+ years can too.

Okay hold for Wii U. January is going to be painful, though.

3D World officially at 410k. I still can't believe that stand alone thread had over 1,000+ posts calling it a bomb. People need to stop jumping to conclusions on a Nintendo games before the holidays.

Still the worst selling 3D Mario plattformer though.

btw. Still cant believe that SE was unhappy with the FF4R DS remake only selling around 600K on DS - yeah it was less than the million FF3R did, but it also didnt had a remake before.

btw. Comparing a popular FF Maingame HD(Remake) with other HDmakes is kinda unfair. Anything less than 500k ltd would have surprised me.

It will have legs and the userbase is abysmal. What did people honestly expect?

For 3d mario to be a big enough deal to drive the install base up. It was Nintendo's flagship game for the year. It doesn't get to blame the install base for its sale because it is supposed to provide the install base for other games to sell to.

So:

Week 52, 2013

3DS - 209K
WIU - 79K
PSV - 70K
PS3 - Nearly 26K (Wii U nearly 3x PS3 sales)
Vita TV - 5.6K

#1. Link Between Worlds Debut - 225K
#2. Puzzles & Dragons - 199K (>1 million LTD)


Phantom Hourglass Debut - 288K (902K LTD)
Spirit Tracks Debut - 321K (740K LTD)
Ocarina of Time 3D Debut - 183K (>601K LTD)
Link Between Worlds Debut - 225K

That's a bit disappointing compared to the previous DS iterations, but debuting higher than Ocarina of Time 3D gives me hope that it won't fare too poorly.

Wii U dropping down to 79K is a sign that sales are going to come crashing down once Week 2 starts back up.

FFX HD at 339k........bwahahahahaha yesssssss! Could become the best selling HD remake in Japan.

I am ready for FF12 HD.

The sales are good relative to the userbase - but it doesnt change the fact that right now its the worst selling in the series.

But the "bomba" talk was always stupid, since the game would sell for many more weeks and the holiday season had just started.

Final Fantasy X debut makes me so happy. What's more imprssive is the sales number for VITA alone. Compared to PS3, VITA has sold really well despite 2 million userbase compared to 10 million or so PS3 userbase.

I am hopeful it will end with at least 500k sales. The bigger news though is that it outsold first week of Lightning Returns.

People are delusional to think a game like 3D World would push massive units. The system already had a (better) Mario game released a year prior. People can only take so much Mario, and when they are giving one away for free, why pay for more?

Does this mean we're one step closer to FFXII HD?

Nah, SE's expectations were probably 3 million on vita alone or something.

I hope we get FFXII. SE said they would wait to see if these remasters fared well.

Well, they might become the best-selling remasters in Japan (and will do even better in the west), so if that's not well enough for SE, I don't know what is.

Does anyone know if the Twin Pack sales include the ones bundled with the LE Vita FFX model?

This ALBW shipment sucks. No way it's gonna do good enough for me to call it success (I expected the franchise to revive in Japan and at least break the million).
I don't even have an idea of what Nintendo need to do next time (well, I also said it was Zelda's last chance in Japan but I'm not ready to abandon its home country yet).
Focus for the West this gen and call it New Legend of Zelda after that I guess.

You talk like this and yet Iwata certainly expected the game to push many units, so let's not pretend like it was people came up with these expectations out of nowhere. Also those Zelda sales are ok, ans yet still disappointing. Maybe Zelda is will just never be a big seller again.

Phantom Hourglass was closer to a "revival" than this probably would've been.

I wonder what this represents more; the popularity of FFX and maybe even classic FF, or SE's absolute utter incompetence in focusing on a series entry for the longest console gaming generation in history where it's newest entry fails to even outsell HD remasters.

I do wonder how Perfo is taking this.
