Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson managed to sell 46,494 units in its first week on the Japanese market. Unfortunately for Marvelous, that’s the lowest debut for any Senran Kagura game and it’s about half of what Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus did at launch. Deep Crimson also sold through only 49.13 percent of its initial shipment while Shinovi Versus, the series’ last entry, sold 94,324 copies at launch with a 93.37% sell-through rate.

Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission 2 also hit Japan last week, but the game performed quite a bit better. It had a low sell-through rate (42.89 percent) like Senran Kagura 2, but the game moved 81,584 copies. The title is currently on track with Ultimate Mission 1, which sold 88,386 copies in its first week and went on to sell 290,000 copies.
