Bravely Default and Project X Zone have a nice first week.
Bravely Default: Flying Fairy, Square Enix’s new Nintendo 3DS RPG, was last week’s big release in Japan, and it came out the gate with 141,529 copies sold in its first week. That’s a great debut for a new franchise, and it’s even better when you compare it to first-week sales of Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light.
Released in 2009 for the Nintendo DS, Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light sold 114,714 copies in its first week. Bravely Default, which looks like something of a spiritual successor, outselling it without the help of the Final Fantasy brand is quite something. Congratulations to producer, Tomoya Asano, and writer, Naotaka Hayashi, on a brand new game!
EDIT: Bravely Default has a nice first week. Project X Zone doesn't.
Bravely Default: Flying Fairy got off to a good start in Japan, having sold 141,529 copies in its first week, which is rather impressive for a brand new franchise.
Sales tracker, Media Create, report that Bravely Default sold through 85.68% of its initial shipment, adding further evidence that the game has sold rather well.
...
Meanwhile, Project X Zone didn’t fare nearly as well. The game sold 85,539 copies in its first week, and Media Create report a 57.55% sell-through for the game. Furthermore, 70% of the game’s first-week sales came from pre-orders, which means Project X Zone didn’t sell a whole lot beyond its existing fanbase.
What fanbase? Media Create compare Project X Zone to Namco x Capcom, which was released on the PlayStation 2 back in 2005. That game sold about 87,000 copies in its first week.
