SEGA originally announced that Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX would be launching towards the end of May in both North America and Europe. In the latter region, it appears that the game has been delayed a few months.

Numerous signs are pointing to an August launch for Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX in Europe. Koch Media, a company that handles the distribution of various SEGA titles in Europe, mentioned the new release month on a couple of its Twitter accounts while interacting with fans. Amazon Spain and Amazon Germany are both listing an August 14 release date as well. Separately from those concrete pieces of information, NextN has heard from its own sources that Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX is now due out in Europe this August.

SEGA technically hasn’t officially announced a European delay, so we’ll mark this one as a rumor to be safe. It’s not looking good though!

Nintendo did not distribute a response to the April 2015 NPD data yesterday, though the company did share a few figures with GamesBeat. The site was told that, though the first four months of the year, Wii U hardware sales are up 15 percent compared to the same period in 2014.

Unfortunately, that still doesn’t tell us much. But thanks to a chart shared by creamsugar – a person known for leaking NPD data – it’s looking like Wii U sold approximately 43,000 units in the U.S. last month.

Here’s a rough breakdown of the chart pictured above (note: Wii U takes up the position of 10.60 percent share):

Xbox One = 187,000 units
PS4 = 174,730 units
Wii U = 42,890 units
