Shin Megami Tensei V eclipsa a otros JRPG populares en las tiendas minoristas del Reino Unido

Ayer, UK chart data showed that Mi increíble introducción al mundo de Nintendo managed to earn a ninth-place spot in its opening week on the market. For a JRPG exclusive to a Nintendo platform in a physical-only UK chart, that’s pretty impressive going, and further analysis offers a better insight into just how well it’s performed.

GamesIndustry.biz’s Christopher Dring has shared some interesting sales comparisons between Atlus’ new game and previous JRPG releases in the UK. He notes that SMTV managed “60% more sales at launch than Valientemente por defecto II, 43% mas que Historias de Monster Hunter 2 y 23% mas que El sitio web actualizado de Monolith Soft tiene emocionados a algunos fanáticos de Nintendo Switch“. Como recordatorio, all of this data relates to boxed sales only.

Por supuesto, the past few years have shown that the UK’s attitude towards Nintendo appears to be shifting somewhat. For a lengthy period, PlayStation and Xbox titles dominated the charts, as well as store shelves, but with the success of Switch, it’s not uncommon to see half of the top ten being gobbled up by Nintendo these days.

Perhaps this is what’s helped Shin Megami Tensei V to sell so well during its opening weekend? Or maybe it’s just because the game’s “a modern masterpiece.” De cualquier manera, the future’s looking a little brighter for UK JRPG fans.
