I think you might have forgotten a little franchise called Animal Crossing.

NPD: Fire Emblem: Three Houses instantly becomes 2nd highest selling FE game (3x rev of SoV in opening month).
- Thread starter Raijinto
- Start date
As much as that bums me out about SoV, I'm happy that them taking this leap to consoles has paid off and look forward to them iterating on it with hopefully Xenoblade 2 level post support versus BOTW post launch support.
The VAs all making jokes and the fanart and everything has given the FE crew substantial staying power as well, on top of the stellar writing people are praising. Well earned.

It's a good result! I hope legs can carry it even further. Word of mouth has been strong so personally I am expecting decent legs.
It was my first Fire Emblem game, so I am contributing to the new sales ^_^ Although I did buy it digitally, so I guess I didn't contribute to these specific sales figures >.< Hopefully we get a comprehensive worldwide report from Nintendo at some point.

I am very pleased by this. FE has been one of my favorite series so seeing it grow like this is fantastic. Cant wait for more dlc!
Still doesn't make it any less awful, which is a shame considering that she did a good job for almost every other character (one of the villains had a terrible design as well).
Either way, I'm glad that Three Houses didn't well. I definitely plan on playing it again once the patch drops.
Great result! it's what this game deserves. I am in love and have already invested well over a hundred hours into it.
Wait, it means as a whole or just at launch? Because if it's the former then WOW!
Although I'm actually more surprised that Shadows of Valentia sold that much at launch, I've always heard it bombed (Mind you, it was from forum posters who are not the most trustworthy sources).

Considering Fates would have launched at a lower price point vs Three Houses is it actually possible that retail wise Three Houses opened lower units wise?
SoV didn't really bomb. It got less marketing & was a remake (although for the first time in the US) so I think it sold within expectations. There's probably just some saltiness from people that thought it was better than Fates & consider it a disappointment for not outselling it. I can't say I don't sympathize with that line of thinking at least a little bit..
Yeah they both have strong & weak points. Echoes brought fully voiced supports & fantastic character design/aesthetics, but had worse maps & gameplay than say Conquest for Fates. Just a matter of personal preference really.
Yeah Animal Crossing is way over Fire Emblem. It'll probably never reach what Animal Crossing can do.
If it weren't for the fact that the game very successfully tells multiple branching story paths I'd argue that this should prompt Intelligent Systems to craft a direct sequel. As it stands, I'm not sure how that could possibly happen -- even a 200-year timeskip or something would have to be pretty broad, and at that point just go ahead and make something else.
Wonderful world though, Fodlan.

I think I missed something, why is Mat unable to clarify? Does he no longer post here?
Echoes honestly has a fair bit of charm in its weird jankyness imo.
A month ago I had no interest in this game, nothing about it really appealed to me. Then all of the reviews started coming out and word of mouth picked up and all of the sudden I realized that I everything I was hearing was very intriguing. I ended up buying the game on Monday and have been loving it, I don't think I have ever gone from being completely out on a game to being all in so fast before.
Now where's my XCOM port on switch? Definitely a market for it!!
Game is definitely on fire, it's built upon what came before and this is the result. Maybe we'll get a better budget for the next few games.
Thinking back, Nintendo didn't do a whole lot for MUA3 in terms of marketing, as it seemed clear that their eggs were in Three Houses' basket for that month. It honestly makes its performance this month all the more impressive, though I'm curious as to if Marvel Games may have hamstrung Nintendo in some way with marketing.
I stan for the band of weirdos that is Golden Deer.
BTW anyone else get stoner vibes from Claude?

Would have been nice to see Youngblood chart even with it being a budget title. Game was a lot of fun even in solo play.
I adore Three Houses but could only stomach a few hours of Fates's nonsensical bad-anime stupidity. So I guess story and characters are much more important to me than gameplay. Should I play Echoes?
Yes yes yes.
With the exception of some poor writing in the final act of Celica's route, everything else is witty and charming. The villains are probably some of the most developed in the entire series, and each character shows growth throughout the game.
300k last month in the US, 200k in Japan, none of that counting digital, it's probably past a million now.
Sure, I'd buy and play it for the 3rd or 4th time....after I finish my NG+ and NG++ of FE: Three Houses, though. Into NG+ so far and still loving the game.
