Wii U’s first year sales stack up pretty favorably to the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita in Japan. During their first years on the market, sales came in at 1,273,555 units, 1,219,474 units, and 1,074,621 units for the PS3, Wii U, and PS Vita respectively. Taking things a bit further, sales stand at 1,343,139 units, 1,341,304 units, and 1,110,333 units for the Wii U, PS3, and PS Vita after 54 weeks (Wii U’s current position).
First year (52 weeks):
PS3 – 1,273,555
Wii U – 1,219,474
PSV – 1,074,621
First 54 weeks (current Wii U LTD)
Wii U – 1,343,139
PS3 – 1,341,304
PSV – 1,110,333
Attack on Titan: The Last Wings of Mankind sold 94,775 copies in its first week, based on data tracked by Dengeki.
Those strong sales resulted in a 75% sell-through rate (give or take). It also means Spike Chunsoft probably shipped around 130,000 copies of Attack on Titan.
Media Create’s latest data puts Attack on Titan: The Last Wings of Mankind at 42,311 copies sold in its second week. As such, it has probably sold through its entire first shipment.
For a title that didn’t have a lengthy development period and a somewhat meager budget, Spike Chunsoft should be pleased with Attack on Titan’s performance thus far.
Yearly Assassin’s Creed releases have been a regular thing now. That doesn’t mean Ubisoft would stick to the schedule if it’d mean sacrificing quality, however.
Ubisoft’s North American president Laurent Detoc told IGN that the publisher would hold back an Assassin’s Creed game if it doesn’t meet its expectations. Bringing out a “70 percent Assassin’s Creed game” would hurt the IP’s brand, Detoc said.
His comments in full:
Harvest Moon: Connect to a New Land has a neat little collaboration with the Mario series. In the game, players can grow Red Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, and Stars in their fields. However, “special conditions” will need to be met in order to make this happen.
