Project X Zone 2 sold through 60% of its initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 12 Comments
According to Dengeki’s own sales numbers, Project X Zone 2 sold just over 37,000 copies in its first week in Japan (fairly close to Media Create’s figure of 41,000 copies). The site also says that the game managed to sell through 60 percent of its initial shipment.
So what should we make of these numbers? Well, Dengeki has the original Project X Zone at 78,000 copies sold in its first week, and lifetime sales of 140,000 units total. Sales for the sequel do seem to be a bit sluggish thus far. If the performance of the first Project X Zone is anything to go by, the second entry may end up doing better in the west.

Disney Magical World 2 sold through 35% of its initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
A few days ago, Media Create reported that Disney Magical World 2 sold around 74,000 units in its first week in Japan. The sales tracker didn’t provide any additional information about the game’s performance, though Dengeki does offer insight of its own.
Dengeki’s sales number is pretty close to Media Create at 78,500 units (with hardware bundles included). The previous game, which launched in August 2013, sold 107,000 copies at launch. Dengeki also says that Disney Magical World 2 sold through 35 percent of its initial shipment.
While the game may seem to be off to a sluggish start, the previous entry was an evergreen title that eventually became a super hit, so there is hope that this one will see growth in the future as well. For reference, the first Disney Magical World’s sales have exceeded 500,000 units sold.
