Mikethemaster Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I just want to know how the overall sales. I know the reviews were mix to mostly good but what about the sales. Nintendo usually like to brag about sales with their titles last year fate sold like 400k and Nintendo brag about that. Echoes not so much. So does anyone know the sales numbers yet.

Fates was 1st in it first week but drop pretty hard the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just pointless to have a chart do all the performance thing. Just reveal the sales figures already. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaos Steel Wing Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) For what it's worth, when I looked at the Global Ranking as soon as they were available, after the first map, there appeared to be some 78,000 people ranked. That only measures those who connected their game online, but could that be possibly used as an early indicator? It's not a reliable figure and only captures part of the userbase, but at least we know that at least 80,000 or so people bought the game since the international release? Assuming I am properly interpreting that number, of course. If it includes Japanese players, then it doesn't tell us anything. But Fates' online features were region locked. So does the Global Ranking actually include all versions of the games, or only for your respective region?

Thinks Their Own Way Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Just an observation from when I bought the game; I wasn't struggling to find a normal copy. Hopefully this isn't indicative of what sales might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe like 100k or 130k. Since Eroupe not to big on rpg or anime like games, well I wouldn't say not into then more they sale really niche number like 20k or less.

Special Editions on the other hand...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree on this front but it still unnerving that Nintendo haven't really been bragging about the sales of Echoes. The reason probably is that they consider this game nothing but a side project, which it is. 12 hours ago, Xaos Steel Wing said: For what it's worth, when I looked at the Global Ranking as soon as they were available, after the first map, there appeared to be some 78,000 people ranked.

Azz Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Over here in Ireland the normal edition was sold out in nearly every GameStop and most Argos stores. However, the SE sold pretty badly and was still in stock for a while (It's gone now tho). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astellius Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 The game came out last Friday, which means the first week of sales internationally just finished. So there's no data available yet with respect to this. I think we'll be able to find articles on how well it sold sometime next week.
