Monster Strike sold through 46% of its initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Monster Strike sold 438,000 copies in its first week in Japan. While the game definitely sold quite a bit, it doesn’t tell the full picture. Media Create shares more about how the game performed in its latest report.
Media Create notes that Monster Strike sold through 46.26 percent of its initial shipment. Given the game’s market scale, the sales tracker feels that this is a rather concerning result. Simple calculations of Monster Strike stock in the city (perhaps Tokyo) are estimated at around 500,000 units, so it is needed to observe the sales movement at the upcoming New Year’s holiday.
Aside from Monster Strike, we have one more tidbit about the latest Japanese sales. During the week of December 14, Wii U sold 165.52 percent compared to last week. New 3DS (including XL) was at 128.25 percent week-over-week.

Shin’en “very pleased” with FAST Racing Neo sales thus far
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 12 Comments
FAST Racing Neo only just landed on the Wii U eShop a few weeks back. That being said, Shin’en is happy with the game’s sales performance thus far.
Speaking with Nintendo Life, Manfred Linzner from Shin’en said the studio is “very pleased” with how the racer is doing. He said:
“We had a bet running in the company on how many copies would be sold on day one. Martin called the highest number. And he was right. It was almost exactly the number he predicted. We are very pleased with the sales so far, but on the other side our preceding investment was very high as well. Anyway, currently it looks pretty bright for the sales.”

The Legend of Dark Witch 2’s first day revenue slightly above its predecessor
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
First day revenue for The Legend of Dark Witch 2 was “a little bit over its predecessor”, Circle Entertainment has revealed.
The company said on Twitter a couple of days ago:
First day revenue of The Legend of Dark Witch 2 has a little bit over its predecessor, thanks for everyone keep to support it! Appreciate!
— CIRCLE Ent. (@CIRCLE_Ent) December 18, 2015
It’s rare that publishers share specific data for eShop games, so we probably won’t be getting any specifics as to how The Legend of Dark Witch 2 is doing. This is an encouraging sign for the game though!
