Samurai Warriors: Chronicles 2nd selling well, more games on the way

Samurai Warriors: Chronicles, the first series entry on the 3DS, sold 50,000 units in its first week in Japan. It went on to sell nearly 150,000 copies.

The half-follow up Samurai Warriors: Chronicles 2nd shifted 34,000 units in its first week. Although Tecmo Koei hasn’t shared up-to-date sales figures, series producer Hisashi Koinuma is pleased with total sales and hinted that the team may soon be able to think about the next project in the franchise.

Koinuma wrote on Twitter:

“I cannot begin to express how overjoyed I am that [Samurai Warriors: Chronicles 2nd] has continued to sell to the year’s end. Thank you! Just a bit more in sales, and we can start thinking about the next game, so please keep at it!”
