As initially reported by Gematsu, estimated physical game sales data for the period of March 3 to March 9 has been published by Famitsu. This includes a figure for MAGES.’ recently released Ever17/Never7 Double Pack.
The physical double pack, released exclusively for Nintendo Switch, collected both Never7 and its successor, Ever17, in one package. A limited edition was also released featuring a DVD containing the soundtracks for both games.
According to Famitsu, the Ever17/Never7 Double Pack sold 3,041 physical copies between its March 6 release date and March 9. For reference, here are previous launch-period Japanese physical sales for MAGES. games:
- Anonymous;Code (2022): 10,146 copies sold over four days on two platforms
- Robotics;Notes DaSH (2019): 7,194+ copies sold over four days on two platforms; does not account for Elite + DaSH bundle sales, which reportedly sold over 4,360 copies combined

Additional information:
- Famitsu’s data only accounts for physical sales. Whereas previous MAGES. games may have been sold physically on multiple platforms, the Ever17/Never7 Double Pack was sold physically only on the Nintendo Switch. The game was made available digitally on PlayStation 4, PC via Steam, and Nintendo Switch.
- MAGES. CEO Makoto Asada reported in 2021 that digital purchases accounted for roughly 30% of MAGES.’ sales; it is not known if this figure has grown, stabilized, or decreased in the years since.
- Ever17 and Never7 were released in English and Chinese on the same day as the Japanese release, likely further bolstering sales.
