From the period of March 2023 to June 2023, it sold 70k copies. That was after selling 1.63 million copies in its release period of Jan 2023 to March 2023.

While the strong release period will prevent it from being a total flop, this is a huge step down from Three House's performance, which had a similarly strong start but then retained strong legs over a period of years, selling hundreds of thousands of copies every few months until it eventually reached 4 million. Whereas Three Houses clearly brought in new fans, Engage not only failed to bring in new fans; it failed to hold onto many of the people that 3H hooked, representing a major lost opportunity for the series.

Why does any of this matter to any of us, who don't need to care about Nintendo's financials? Well, Engage was the exact opposite of what I wanted out of a mainline FE game, so hopefully this reception will send a message to...not do that again. Poor critic reviews, poor user reviews, and (relatively) poor sales should be difficult to ignore.
