Senran Kagura 2 sells through 49% of initial shipment, Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission 2 sees 43% sell-through rate
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson managed to sell 46,494 units in its first week on the Japanese market. Unfortunately for Marvelous, that’s the lowest debut for any Senran Kagura game and it’s about half of what Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus did at launch. Deep Crimson also sold through only 49.13 percent of its initial shipment while Shinovi Versus, the series’ last entry, sold 94,324 copies at launch with a 93.37% sell-through rate.
Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission 2 also hit Japan last week, but the game performed quite a bit better. It had a low sell-through rate (42.89 percent) like Senran Kagura 2, but the game moved 81,584 copies. The title is currently on track with Ultimate Mission 1, which sold 88,386 copies in its first week and went on to sell 290,000 copies.

Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver, Black/White are still selling
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 7 Comments
Nintendo games tend to be evergreen titles. By that, we mean that they’ll continue to sell well after their initial release.
Case and point: the Pokemon games. Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver, released in 2010, sold an additional 50,000 units between March 2013 and March 2014. Pokemon Black/White managed to move 160,000 units as well during the same time span. Lifetime sales of HeartGold/SoulSilver and Black/White are at 12.72 million units and 15.58 million units respectively.
Two Pokemon entries that aren’t selling any longer are Diamond and Pearl. They were at 17.63 million units as of March 2013, and nothing has changed since this March.
