Gunman Clive 2’s sales have “been a bit disappointing” when compared to the series’ first entry, creator Bertil Hörberg has said.
Writing about Gunman Clive 2’s performance on Twitter, Hörberg stated:
For those asking, GC2 sales has been a bit disappointing compared to GC1, but I'll survive
— Bertil Hörberg (@BertilHrberg) April 13, 2015
Hörberg had a brief exchange with Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham, and acknowledged that his expectations may have been a bit too high while also noting that not enough was done to promote Gunman Clive 2.
@JoolsWatsham Probably mostly my expectations being too high after getting lucky with GC1 and being bad at promoting the game
— Bertil Hörberg (@BertilHrberg) April 13, 2015
Sales of the first Gunman Clive surpassed 400,000 units in February. It did particularly well on the 3DS.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3D sold through 59% of its initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News | 6 Comments
Media Create revealed earlier this week that Xenoblade Chronicles 3D had moved 57,000 copies in its first week in Japan. A follow-up report from the sales tracker confirms that it sold through 58.66 percent of its initial shipment.
How does that stack up to the original Wii version? On Nintendo’s old console, Xenoblade Chronicles sold 83,000 copies with a sell-through rate of 76.29 percent.
Something to remember is that the Wii had a much bigger install base when Xenoblade Chronicles launched. All things considered, the New 3DS version did quite well!
Rodea: The Sky Soldier sales off to a very rough start in Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 15 Comments
Rodea: The Sky Soldier isn’t doing so well in Japan. Actually, that’s probably a gross understatement.
With Rodea: The Sky Soldier not appearing on the Media Create charts, it was a sign that the game had sold poorly. Dengeki, which is also involved with sales tracking, provides a disappointing figure for Rodea’s debut in Japan.
Dengeki says that Rodea: The Sky Solider on Wii U sold 2,725 units in its first week. The 3DS version did not chart at all, so that version sold even fewer copies. Very disappointing!
