What's the problem here?
No Problem, just glad it will probably end up selling very well.

If kingdom hearts bumped it to 120k hopefully fire elblem will do the same or better

With Fire emblem and Code of princess' releases I was expecting 3DS to have a boost up to 120k and over, and it seems I was spot on.
Yes.
On the other hand 30k FE hardware bundles were reportedly made available for sale exclusively through Nintendo's online store and so won't be represented in the Famitsu or Media Create sales numbers.
They could be. Media Create factored in Konami Style numbers for the LovePlus bundles.
Chris already said they WILL be represented.

That's why I'm expecting AT LEAST 90k.
I doubt it will be that high. The high sales then were thanks to the combination of Kingdom Hearts hitting and the blue 3DS/Kid Icarus being released the week before.
Sadly, it's not doing that well.
Probably not bad, but don't think it's too good either.

Considering about half of gaf thought it'd do 100k maybe 150k if it was very lucky, i'd say its doing great

Considering its a new ip and most peoples expectations were much lower its doing pretty well. It had a much larger opening than anyone expected and has started to show good legs.

I'm probably being a little optomistic but you never know
It's not a new ip, I know what you mean though.
Well, this was before we knew how big it is.

It feels so good to see a Fire Emblem game atop the charts.
220k in japan
140k in US for march
let's assume 140k in EU for march
That's not too bad. It might not reach 1 million, but I think 800.000 lifetime is within reach, and that's quite good for a "forgotten" franchise like KI.
That's definitely assuming way too much.
It didn't start particularly strongly on the charts in any country, and sales all around are really low.
I think the UK debut was less than 6.7k or something.

With the way nintendo games keep selling under the radar i'd say its got a million locked in, maybe million and a half in a few years

It will reach the million mark.
Nintendo is promoting it and I see the willingness to continue.

140k for march is probably pushing it alot though it should have done that much by now

I just woke up. I'm still sleepy. Lol.
It was in top 5 and 10 in every PAL chart were Nintendo titles usually performs (so, no Nordic charts).
I think that's a good title, sales-wise.

Kid Icarus: Uprising being above Mario Kart 7 means that it must have sold another 15,000 units, so now we can say that it is having legs.
It being over 300,000 lifetime sales seems quite a lock and a nice achievement. Of course we could also argue that a figure around half a million units would be closer to the effort put into it by Nintendo to turn Kid Icarus into a big franchise for the company. Anyway, at least we can definitely say that it is an encouraging start for it and a step in the right direction.
P.S. I will be really pleased if Fire Emblem: Awakening has opened with 200,000 units sold.

500k lifetime for japan is still a good possibility
It's happening again next year when Wii U blows up in Japan.

How does that compare with the debut of other Fire Emblem games?
