#250k!!

It's hard to gather exact cumulative sales data, but I've not found many JP otome from the Switch console generation that have surpassed even the 100k mark (that have publicly announced it anyways), which Jack Jeanne reached in February 2024 (a month before the big sequel announcement). This was after the game had been out for nearly 3 years in Japan and after the release of the English and Chinese versions and the mobile port. If my math is correct, this would mean an average rate of ~2800 sales/month. In comparison, from February 2024 to June 2026 it would have been ~5350 sales/month. The only new version released in that time was the Korean translation. For it to be continuing to sell so well years after release makes me think that it's spreading particularly via positive reputation and frequent sales.

There was an incident on the Hong Kong eShop where a ton of otome games were set to 88% off instead of 12%. This affected a lot of titles though and even among those, Jack Jeanne was a top seller, beating not just other otome games, but even Pokopia for a time (just a week after its launch).

The only point of comparison I have is with Bustafellows. It sold 100k between December 2019 and March 2024 and hit 150k February 2025 and then 200k in March 2026 but they also released a sequel during that time and there's a Steam port so it's hard to know how much that affects the numbers.
