Kirby Triple Deluxe is off to a fast start in Japan with first week sales reaching over 214,000 copies. Media Create says that the new 3DS game sold-through 92.02 percent of its initial shipment – an incredibly high rate.

The last Kirby game, Kirby’s Return to Dream Land, only shifted 137,000 copies in its first week. It also sold through just 49.88 percent of its first shipment.

Media Create mentions that Kirby Triple Deluxe had only 58,000 pre-orders before January 5. By January 12, however, reservations rose to 103,000, showing great growth.

There was a strong focus to advertise heavily on television so there would be a wider opportunity for people to see Kirby Triple Deluxe. Since consumers have been staying inside during the cold winter, viewership and anticipation must have been much higher.

Which has been more popular? Pokemon X or Pokemon Y?

Nintendo has provided a clear-cut answer to Kotaku, confirming that Pokemon X has sold 1.63 million units in the US through the end of December, while Pokemon Y has moved 1.54 million copies.

Now tell us: which version have you picked up?

Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars has received its rating from the ESRB, and it’s about what most had expected. Atlus’ upcoming game will be rated M for “Fantasy Violence, Language, Mild Blood, Partial Nudity, Sexual Themes”.

The rating – rather humorous, I should say – can be found below.
