Youkai Watch 2 is expected to be a huge seller for Level-5. And based on pre-order data, that definitely seems to be the case.

Media Create reveals that pre-orders for Youkai Watch 2 were initially at 786,000 units before climbing to 814,000 copies. That number could have been even higher given continued inquiries from consumers, but the game sold out before launch and retailers closed reservations.

Media Create anticipates that Youkai Watch 2 will be Japan’s first million-seller of 2014.

Ubisoft published the graphic above as part of its latest financial results. Unsurprisingly, Nintendo systems encompass just a small fraction of the company’s sales. That can be attributed to, at least partially, a lack of releases on Nintendo platforms.
