May 2015 NPD: Wii U, Puzzle & Dragons, and Devil Survivor 2 sales
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 5 Comments
Thanks to the latest leaks from creamsugar – a person who is known for having access to NPD data – we now know how many Wii U consoles were sold in the U.S. during the month of May. Between May 1 and May 30, Nintendo moved roughly 42,500 units. That’s essentially the same amount as Wii U’s performance in April, when the console’s sales came in at 43,000 units.
We also have data for a pair of 3DS titles. First, Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition sold under 32,000 copies in the U.S. last month. Meanwhile, Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker’s sales came in at under 23,000 units.
May 2015 NPD: amiibo leads in interactive gaming toy sales
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 9 Comments
In the U.S., amiibo led the way in dollar sales out of all interactive gaming toy offerings during the month of May. It’s the first time since the figures launched that this feat was accomplished.
Thanks to amiibo’s strong performance, interactive gaming toy sales as a whole rose 73 percent in the U.S. last month.
NPD Group’s Liam Callahan said:
“May 2015 was a positive month for video game accessory sales, with dollar sales up 20 per cent. The top 5 accessory types: Interactive Gaming Toys; point cards; gamepads; headsets/headphones; and power supplies, all experienced year-over-year growth. Interactive gaming toy sales experienced stellar growth of 73 per cent in May 2015 as Nintendo’s amiibo accessories led dollar sales for the first time since launch.”
May 2015 NPD: Splatoon sells 136,000 copies
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 64 Comments
NPD published its latest software chart based on data collected throughout May on the U.S. market. As Splatoon launched on May 29, it just managed to sneak its way into the reporting period.
Splatoon managed to take the fifth spot in NPD’s chart for May. But the big question is, how many copies did the game actually sell?
NPD hasn’t provided specific numbers in ages, and Nintendo did not send out a response to the May report. But thankfully, well-known sales leaker “creamsugar” has come through with data. creamsugar says that Splatoon sold 136,000 copies in May, which is based on just two days of sales.
Splatoon’s U.S. debut is fairly similar to its performance in Japan. Through four days, the title sold 145,000 units on the Japanese market.

Dengeki: Splatoon’s sell-through rate at 90% for its second week
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 13 Comments
During its first week, Splatoon experienced one of the highest sell-through rates ever in Japan. That number came in at 97.33 percent, which was a sign that the game was almost impossible to find in all stores.
Splatoon has now been on the market for a second week and has yet to show any signs of slowing down. As stated in a Dengeki report, the shooter sold nearly 70,000 copies with a sell-through rate of 90 percent between June 1 and June 7. Media Create’s information will probably vary just slightly, but this is a sign that consumers are still very much interested in Splatoon.
3DS now the 8th Nintendo system to sell 15 million units in the United States
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Sales of the 3DS have surpassed 15 million units in the United States, Nintendo announced today. In doing so, it’s become the eighth system in the company’s history to reach this feat.
Super Mario 3D Land, Pokemon X, Pokemon y, Mario Kart 7, and Super Smash Bros. for 3DS have all sold more than 2 million copies in the U.S.
Nintendo says that, through the first six months of 2015, 3DS hardware sales have risen by more than 50 percent over sales in the same period in 2014. The system’s growth comes in large part due to the launch of the New 3DS XL, which shipped in mid-February.
Nintendo has sold nearly 270 million units of hardware since the NES debuted in the fall of 1985 – almost 145 million units of handhelds, and another 125 million home console units.
Head past the break to read up on today’s announcement in full.

AlphaBeatic has gone live with a new interview featuring Nintendo Canada general manager Pierre-Paul Trepanier. There’s a lot of talk specific to Canda, but the whole interview has some neat insights as a whole.
Trepanier talked Wii U and 3DS sales, Splatoon’s performance thus far, and even teased some “interesting partnerships” that we’ll apparently be hearing about soon.
We’ve posted a good portion of the Q&A below. There are a few more questions and answers on AlphaBeatic here.
