Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 25 Comments
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 for Switch sold quite well in its first week in Japan. Between September 7 and September 10, it sold about 24,000 copies.
Dengeki adds that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 sold through 80 percent of its initial shipment. Indeed, that’s a high percentage. Bandai Namco previously said that the game was selling out in the country and more shipments will be carried out later in the month. The sell-through rate tells us that 30,000 copies were sent to stores for the initial batch.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 will be out this coming week in North America and Europe. It’ll be interesting to see how the game does in the west.

Switch sales slower in the UK than other markets; ahead of Xbox One for 2017, behind PS4
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 42 Comments
Switch is doing well in almost every part of the world. But according to GamesIndustry publisher and former MCV editor Christopher Dring, sales are slower in the UK compared to other markets.
Dring did add that Switch sales this year are currently ahead of the Xbox One. The system is “well behind” the PlayStation 4, however.
It might not be wise to stress over this information. After all, we don’t have concrete sales data for the UK at the moment.
