Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Juicy Beast said earlier this month that the studio was disappointed by the sales of Toto Temple Deluxe. A few days ago, the company shared some concrete data.
Toto Temple Deluxe has sold roughly 6,000 copies across all platforms. You can see a breakdown of sales by platform above, which seems to show that the Wii U version outperformed the likes of Steam and Xbox One. It’s also fairly close to the PlayStation 4 edition.

Finally, net income is also up 7.1 percent from the same period last year to 7,006 million yen.
