The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes moved 54,400 copies in its first week in Japan, according to Media Create. The sales tracker didn’t provide a sell-through rate, but Dengeki – who also keeps track of data – did come through on that front.
It looks like Tri Force Heroes managed to sell through 55 percent of its initial shipment. One important point to bring up, however, is that Dengeki has the game closer to having sold 60,000 copies.
Going back to Media Create for a moment, it’s mentioned that multiplayer content has been given the spotlight when marketed with TV commercials and such. For this reason and the fact that it differs from the series’ traditional single-player emphasis, it can be concluded that the strong spin-off flavor resulted in these sales numbers.
By purchasing (or pre-ordering) Yo-kai Watch at Best Buy, consumers can save 50 percent on the Pokemon 3DS RPGs. The eligible games include Pokemon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. Take advantage of the deal here.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart! Monster Hunter X is still at the top. Shin Megami Tensei IV Final is also rising fast.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between October 15 and October 21.
