Genei Ibun Roku #FE (known as Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem in the West) has sold only 23k in it’s first week of release in Japan. It became available on December 26 in Japan, which speculators have claimed may have contributed to the weak opening sales.

Persona Central reported figures from Famitsu which show the lifetime sales of all Fire Emblem games in comparison which can be found below:
