More on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice’s debut Japanese sales

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice debuted in Japan last week. During its first few days on the market, the game sold nearly 200,000 copies. Media Create now has more information about its performance.

Sales for Spirit of Justice fell about 20 percent when stacked up to Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies’ first week. In July 2013, that game sold 250,000 units.

Media Create does note that pre-orders were roughly the same for the two titles. Spirit of Justice had 129,000 pre-orders while Dual Destinies’ reservations were at 121,000.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice started out by focusing on core fans of the series who pre-ordered the game, and the floating buyers are considered to be reduced. Considering proactive measures from multimedia expansion have been pushed such as a TV anime currently airing, Media Create says that the results can be hardly said to be sufficient.

Another small note by the way: the Lime x Black and Pink x White New 3DS XL colors sold 10,000 units. It contributed to the gaming market and helped raise overall hardware numbers a bit.
