Bravely Default Sells 200 Thousand Copies In North America

By Jake Doolin

Nintendo is celebrating today with the news that Bravely Default, the Final Fantasy inspired RPG released last month, has sold over 200,000 copies. While that number might not be impressive for many of the AAA games released each year, it is a good sign for the JRPG market here in America. Nintendo was quoted as saying;

"In early 2013, Fire Emblem Awakening launched for Nintendo 3DS and became one of the surprise hits of the year. Bravely Default, which launched for Nintendo 3DS on Feb. 7, improved on the launch of Fire Emblem Awakening by more than 10 percent, selling more than 200,000 combined units in just over three weeks"

With this news, all signs point to a localization of the sequel to Bravely Default, Bravely Second, since the future of that game hinged on the sales of the first.
