Disney still has the Epic Mickey IP
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
With today’s Junction Point closure news, the Epic Mickey IP was left in limbo. Junction Point was the main maker of the two Epic Mickey games, but now the team is no more.
Disney has since confirmed that it has retained rights to the franchise. For now, however, the company has no plans the series’ future. This one will likely remain dormant for a very long time, if not forever.
Epic Mickey 2 lifetime sales actually at 529,000 units in the US
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two’s US sales have been clarified. Based on information provided by Disney and NPD, the game sold 529,000 units in November and December. We had previously heard that Disney moved just 270,000 copies, though that figure now appears to have been inaccurate.
Sales of Epic Mickey 2 along with Power of Illusion stand at 695,000 units up to the end of December. That should put the 3DS game at around 166,000 units sold in the US.
Lifetime Xbox 360 sales are set to pass lifetime Wii sales in the UK
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii | 0 comments
The Wii got off to a massive start (err– a four year long “start”) across the globe, but despite the sales lead it managed to procure it seems that sluggish sales of the console in 2011 and 2012 have allowed Microsoft’s competing Xbox to close the gap and prepare to surpass Nintendo in the coming months. According to Chart Track data, the Xbox 360 actually outsold the Wii 4 to 1 in 2012.
“The success of Microsoft and the Xbox 360 during the past two years highlights a radical changing of the guard in the game industry. Much has been made about a steady video game sales decline in the past three years. In reality the decline has mainly been due to the aging console systems and more importantly because of Nintendo’s collapse.” – DFC Intelligence, analysis firm
The real question now is whether the Wii U can perform even half as good as its predecessor.
