Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Youkai Watch 2 launched in Japan on July 10th and managed to sell 1.3 million copies during the first few days of availability. Incredibly, Media Create reveals that the “Honke” version sold through 95.53 percent of its initial shipment while the “Ganso” version experienced an 88.77 percent sell-through rate.
Essentially, people really want to play Youkai Watch 2. And even though Level-5 pushed out well over a million copies for the game’s launch, that wasn’t nearly enough to satiate demand.
