“Considering that the NPD sales only accounted for 12 days on the store shelves and that NPD doesn’t include all retailers we are looking forward to a complete month of sales data to see where we stand.” – Ubisoft spokesperson
These sales are only based on twelve days of data, as the game was released on March 23 in North America. Still, the sales are disappointing, and we know the game hasn’t performed well in the UK either. Red Steel 2 should be selling much more based on the title’s quality and commercials on television. Ubisoft seems to believe the game will sell better next month, though.
We already had an idea that this is what the two-player mode would be like in Super Mario Galaxy 2, but now it has confirmed via the Japanese site. Quite an improvement over the original!

Siliconera is reporting that Konami has trademarked Harmony of Despair in Europe. Now, just what is this game you ask? Nothing is certain yet, but it’s possible that it’s a new Castlevania title. After all, Harmony of Despair follows the name format of previous Castlevania games. I’d be up for a new entry in the series on the DS – What about you guys?
