In September,  a few notable Wii/DS titles were released. Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Scribblenauts, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days all came out last month. Exact NPD data for these games are still in question, but much more specific information is now available.

First, Muramasa: The Demon Blade evidently sold more than 35,000 units in September. Meanwhile, on the DS, over 193,000 copies of Scribblenauts were sold while Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days managed to move a little more than 201,000 units. These aren’t entirely terrible numbers, especially the data for Scribblenauts, which is a brand new IP. However, Muramasa’s performance is slightly underwhelming, but not terrible. It is clear now why all three of these titles missed out on the NPD top 10 sales for September, though.

Note: While the information isn’t 100% confirmed, I do trust the data which has been shared. The person with these figures has been very accurate with NPD sales in the past.
