Kirby Triple Deluxe sells through over 90% of initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Kirby Triple Deluxe is off to a fast start in Japan with first week sales reaching over 214,000 copies. Media Create says that the new 3DS game sold-through 92.02 percent of its initial shipment – an incredibly high rate.
The last Kirby game, Kirby’s Return to Dream Land, only shifted 137,000 copies in its first week. It also sold through just 49.88 percent of its first shipment.
Media Create mentions that Kirby Triple Deluxe had only 58,000 pre-orders before January 5. By January 12, however, reservations rose to 103,000, showing great growth.
There was a strong focus to advertise heavily on television so there would be a wider opportunity for people to see Kirby Triple Deluxe. Since consumers have been staying inside during the cold winter, viewership and anticipation must have been much higher.

Kirby Triple Deluxe outperforms previous three Kirby games in Japan, based on first week sales
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News, Wii | 2 Comments
Kirby Triple Deluxe is off to a great start in Japan having sold 214,208 copies in its first week, according to data from Media Create. That figure stacks up extremely favorably to the previous three Kirby games released.
Kirby’s Return to Dreamland comes the closet with first week sales standing in at 136,811 units. Kirby’s Epic Yarn sold only 92,280 copies, and Kirby: Mass Attack only moved 74,915 units in its first few days.
Ultimately, lifetime sales are probably what will end up mattering the most. That being said, Nintendo must be pleased with Kirby Triple Deluxe’s performance so far.
