July 2015 NPD: Wii U sells 46,000 units
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 18 Comments
A few days ago, Nintendo shared a few tidbits about its sales performance in the U.S. last month. But the company didn’t have much to say regarding Wii U hardware sales. While Nintendo is remaining quiet on that front, we now have a sales figure for the console thanks to creamsugar, who often leaks NPD data.
Wii U managed to sell roughly 46,000 units in the U.S. during the month of July. That would be a slight decline compared to May’s estimate of 70,000 units.
According to Nintendo, Wii U software sales increased by 10 percent through the first seven months of the year compared to the same period in 2014 in large part due to the success of Splatoon. The Big N also said that 3DS hardware sales are up by close to 35 percent.

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 21 Comments
Nintendo has provided GamesBeat with a statement concerning this month’s NPD report.
According to the company, Wii U software sales in the U.S. have risen 10 percent through the first seven months of the year compared to the same period in 2014. That’s largely thanks to Splatoon, which is now sitting at almost 540,000 units sold in the region. As was announced last month, the game has sold close to 1.6 million copies worldwide.
“Much of [Wii U’s software] growth can be attributed to Splatoon, which inked nearly 85,000 total units in its third month to bring its lifetime total to nearly 540,000 total units in the United States alone. As of June 30, the game has sold more than 1.6 million total units around the world.”

“Through the first seven months of 2015, sales of Nintendo 3DS hardware have increased by nearly 35 percent over the same time frame in 2014.”

Over 312,000 Animal Crossing amiibo card packs sold in Japan, more on HHD sales
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 11 Comments
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer sold 523,000 copies in its first week in Japan (four days to be exact). According to Media Create, it saw a sell through rate of 76.29 percent.
When Animal Crossing: New Leaf launched it Japan, it managed to move just over 600,000 copies. It also sold through 96.09 percent of its initial shipment. While Happy Home Designer didn’t quite reach the same amount of success, it still performed very well – especially for a spin-off title. Happy Home Designer also boosted 3DS hardware sales, as the system’s sales essentially doubled compared to the previous week.
That’s not all from Media Create. The sales tracker reveals that more than 312,000 packs of Animal Crossing amiibo cards were sold in Japan between July 30 and August 2. As previously reported, the cards have been seeing significant shortages in the country.
