	xxbrothawizxx63 posted 23/04/2017, 07:21 Agreed Noir. The game is a masterpiece and deserves to be unchained from the underpowered 3DS. The sales on 3DS are a travesty. Some would argue that the touch controls were integral to the experience, but I'm sure it would work just fine with a twin stick setup. The character portraits during dialogue could be relegated to the bottom or top corners of the screen. An HD upgrade wouldn't be enough though. The game needs an upgrade to the core assets. Even in HD with the Citra, the low polygon models mar the experience. Message \| Report
	NoirSon posted 12/03/2017, 03:52 Really wish Nintendo would do a remake of this game on the Switch with traditional controls and updated visuals. A game of this value deserves more love and I can't think of any reasons other then the controls and maybe the difficulty as to why it isn't more popular. Message \| Report

	leedlelee posted 17/04/2014, 04:59 Those figures are actually from before the game was out on the eShop, so the game is definitely under tracked... Message \| Report
	Olivernintentoal posted 27/03/2014, 06:16 This is probably under tracked, as Nintendo has the sales figures at 1.18 million units as of March 31, 2013. Yes that includes digital, but those figures are a year old. It must be quite a bit more by now. Message \| Report

	Billjw posted 08/01/2013, 01:25 I predict 2.5-3.0 million lifetime giving the 3ds remains viable for at least 3 more years but maybe more as Nintendo portables usually sustain longer than their consoles. Plus, despite the fad of 3d cinema, 3d video games, I believe, are here to stay. Glasses-free 3d tech is only getting better. Btw KI:uprising is the best game of the century so far. Message \| Report

	xxbrothawizxx63 posted 04/01/2013, 11:32 Very nice to see this finally hit one million. I have no doubt that it will continue to sell in the shadows of the other big first party titles. It's just sad that Resident Evil: Revelations couldn't hit the same benchmark. Message \| Report

	Thechalkblock posted 25/10/2012, 05:11 i don't know if it's because i played this on a 3ds xl, but i got used to the controls pretty quickly. once i did, i was blown away by how fun this game was. one of my favorite games for 3ds Message \| Report

	Mr Puggsly posted 14/10/2012, 12:57 I'm about half way into this. Fun game but repetitive. I'd probably enjoy it more if I could play it on the Wii. The 3DS control isn't ideal for a game like this. Message \| Report
	acdcste posted 13/10/2012, 12:00 Looks like this will be overtaken by kingdom hearts next week. Didnt think that would happen so soon. Beginning to wonder if this will reach a million with it dropping around 500 units per week. Its down to 4k per week now. Message \| Report

Sales in UK drop that hard, that I think here is an adjustment. If that is the case, it should go up next week again moderately. It is nearing 200K in Europe. If it holds this sales, the milestone should be taken next week. Message \| Report

	Mnementh posted 04/09/2012, 04:15 @POE: I made mine a while ago: 1M until end of october. Doesn't look too likely now. To your prediction: currently KI sells around 7K (a bit more) a week. That would mean it need another 23 weeks. 18 weeks are left in the year, so that would match your prediction. This would assume, the game get no boost from the holidays. If we assume, it will double it sales over November/December (8) weeks, it would reach that goal late in December. Message \| Report

Don't take the percentage in germany too serious, it's only that high, because the sales itself are miserable. In other news: if nothing goes wrong, the game should overtake next week Pilotwing, get over 250K in the USA and over 300K in Japan. Quite some milestones. Message \| Report

	xxbrothawizxx63 posted 23/04/2017, 07:21 Agreed Noir. The game is a masterpiece and deserves to be unchained from the underpowered 3DS. The sales on 3DS are a travesty. Some would argue that the touch controls were integral to the experience, but I'm sure it would work just fine with a twin stick setup. The character portraits during dialogue could be relegated to the bottom or top corners of the screen. An HD upgrade wouldn't be enough though. The game needs an upgrade to the core assets. Even in HD with the Citra, the low polygon models mar the experience. Message \| Report

And it seems the XL has no influence on the sales of the game. Message \| Report

	Mnementh posted 01/08/2012, 03:17 @Salnax: I think the game is helped by XL AND NSMB2 (as this sells consoles). But not much. I think 10-20% more on XL-release. Message \| Report

With the exception of the UK it has pretty much stabilized in sales in Europe, the loss of 200 units in Europe as a whole is the same loss the UK alone shows. At this sales-rate it needs at least 3 weeks to overtake Street Fighter. Message \| Report
	Mnementh posted 15/07/2012, 11:10 Ah, by the way: the game overtook Pilotwings, but Dragon Quest did overtake both. Next milestone is Super Street Fighter, but at the current pace it will need 4 weeks, if it slows even more, than it may take longer. Message \| Report
	Mnementh posted 15/07/2012, 11:07 Oh, wanted to update the weekly numbers now after the weekend, but the site already put up the numbers for the following week. So I have to do the average number for both weeks. By the way, the new week also brought the overtaking of Pilotwings. Weeks ending 30th June 2012 and 07th July 2012: Global: 786,412 / 16,034=2x8017 / -20.4% USA: 253,794 / 4720=2x2360 / -26.2% Japan: 302,748 / 3,357=2x1678.5 / -15.0% Europe: 166,577 / 6411=2x3,205.5 / -17.8% UK: 36,193 / 1949=2x974.5 / -19.0% Germany: 37,702 / 962=2x481 / -33.7% France: 44,243 / 1,635=2x817.5 / -2.3% I gave the change between the two weeks and the average in change. This number is base for the percentage. Message \| Report

	Ganoncrotch posted 11/07/2012, 08:46 this will definitely make the million mark no bothers, just a question of will it be the 6th game on the 3ds to do so really. also @mnementh lol at the german %age indeed, you gotta love it when people rage about a 100% increase in sales when something sold 1 unit the week before :D... 2UNITS YAY.

Don't take the percentage in germany too serious, it's only that high, because the sales itself are miserable. In other news: if nothing goes wrong, the game should overtake next week Pilotwing, get over 250K in the USA and over 300K in Japan. Quite some milestones. Message \| Report

	Mnementh posted 12/06/2012, 03:45 Only a slight drop in weekly sales. It's now at 736,951 - so it must have sold 15,147 this week globally (-1.9%). It keeps selling above 13K, the hope stays it can make 1 million until end of october. The regions(total, week ending second June, change): USA: 238,287 / 4,478 / +27.2% Japan: 291,402 / 3,977 / -21.3% Europe: 148,693 / 5,312 / -5.4% UK: 30,347 / 1,354 / +28.2% Germany: 35,103 / 1,083 / -24,3% France: 40,004 / 1,330 / -11.2% The up in english-speaking countries neutralizes the down in Japan and non-english europe. @acdcste: It's a great game.

	Mnementh posted 08/06/2012, 06:50 750K should be doable, that is something like 5K per week. 770K looks unlikely if this keeps dropping in sales. Message \| Report
	acdcste posted 03/06/2012, 11:57 With sales as they are it should be passing the 750k mark by the end of june, maybe around the 770k mark. I was hoping it would average out at 20k for a few weeks but never mind. Message \| Report
	Mnementh posted 03/06/2012, 02:18 Another bad drop. My prediction of 1 million until end of october could be in trouble. But yet it stays above 13K. @spurge: Unlikely that the US-sales will get past Japan, the weekly sales in Japan are higher than in the US at the moment. The sales in the US drop faster.

	Mnementh posted 29/05/2012, 08:49 I'm not sure there this game will level off. It looked some weeks ago, as if it has found the ground, but now it's dropping even faster in the US and Europe. To get my prediction (1M until end of October) it has to manage 13K average in the remaining 23 weeks. Message \| Report
	Salnax posted 28/05/2012, 11:28 We've reached 0.7 million. At 0.01 a week worst case scenario, this can reach a full million by year's end. Message \| Report
	Mnementh posted 22/05/2012, 07:51 @Salnax: I'm pretty confident it should not drop too much in Japan now. We are our of Golden week it seems, and it not too far below the value three weeks ago. Not too sure about the other regions. It seems good in Europe, but that is driven by an increase in UK, and I have no idea what is the reason for that. But the good news is: it has to stay above 13K, too reach the million before holidays. That seems manageable. Message \| Report

	Mnementh posted 08/05/2012, 04:19 I have a real hard time to predict, where this game will level off. While the weekly sales are increasing in UK, France and Japan(!) it drops nearly the same amount each week in the US and faster and faster in germany. Anyways, 20K weekly seem plausible so far, that would mean 1 million before the holiday-sales are starting. Message \| Report

	xxbrothawizxx63 posted 23/04/2017, 07:21 Agreed Noir. The game is a masterpiece and deserves to be unchained from the underpowered 3DS. The sales on 3DS are a travesty. Some would argue that the touch controls were integral to the experience, but I'm sure it would work just fine with a twin stick setup. The character portraits during dialogue could be relegated to the bottom or top corners of the screen. An HD upgrade wouldn't be enough though. The game needs an upgrade to the core assets. Even in HD with the Citra, the low polygon models mar the experience. Message \| Report
	NoirSon posted 12/03/2017, 03:52 Really wish Nintendo would do a remake of this game on the Switch with traditional controls and updated visuals. A game of this value deserves more love and I can't think of any reasons other then the controls and maybe the difficulty as to why it isn't more popular. Message \| Report
