Anyone know who Andrew Lloyd Webber is? Hopefully! He’s been involved with many famous musicals, including Cats, Starlight, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and my personal favorite, The Phantom of the Opera.

Head past the break for details on Webber’s new Wii game.

Rumor: 3DS XL debut sales in the UK “a little shy of five figures”

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 0 comments

So the 3DS XL is doing pretty well in Japan thus far. How about in the UK?

While not confirmed, a report suggests that the system “shifted a figure a little shy of five figures” – that would be under 10,000 units. This may not seem too impressive, but keep in mind that the estimate is based on sales tracked over a 24 hour period, not a full week. It did manage to outsell the first 3DS by a factor of just over 2:1. When the 3DS originally launched, it was on the market for a full week.

The 3DS XL’s debut may have contributed to a rise in software sales. Mario Kart 7’s sales increased by 45 percent, Super Mario 3D Land climbed up 37 percent, and Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games rose 25 percent.

3DS XL sells 193,000 units in Japan, NSMB2 at 430,000 units after two days

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

The 3DS XL and New Super Mario Bros. 2 had huge debuts in Japan this past weekend.

Nintendo’s 3DS revision moved 193,441 units in just two days, according to Famitsu’s Enterbrain data. New Super Mario Bros. 2 also came out strong with 430,185 copies sold.

Again, this information only accounts for two days of sales. The 3DS XL, along with New Super Mario Bros 2., were officially released in Japan on Saturday. Enterbrain’s tracking period for this data carried through Sunday.

Also worth mentioning is that Enterbrain’s figure for New Super Mario Bros. 2 does not account for digital sales. Although Nintendo hasn’t announced any data on this front, the company has said that it would be willing to share download data in the future.
