Dragon Quest Monsters 2 sells through nearly 80% of initial stock
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Dragon Quest Monsters 2 sold 443,656 copies in its first week on the Japanese market. Media Create says this resulted in a 78.65% sell-through rate.
Despite Dragon Quest Monsters 2’s initial success, it hasn’t quite reached the same heights as the first Dragon Quest Monsters 3DS remake. When Square Enix released the previous DQM title for Nintendo’s portable, it sold 513,183 copies in its first week for a 93.96% sell-through.
Of course, we should maintain some perspective here. At the end of the day, there’s no denying that Dragon Quest Monsters 2 has gotten off to a fast start and Square Enix is likely pleased with its performance.

January 2014 NPD: Wii Fit U sells under 20,000 units
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 5 Comments
The ever-reliable NPD leaker “creamsugar” has come through with one piece of noteworthy data.
Last month, Wii Fit U is said to have sold under 20,000 copies. Those sales were obtained in a little less than a month.
Wii Fit U is selling at an incredibly slower rate than Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus, though that was to be expected. Wii U has a much lower installed base than its predecessor, for one thing. Also keep in mind that Nintendo has been offering the title on the eShop, and allowed console owners to purchase the digital version for just $20 by syncing their Fit Meters.

We’re also hearing that Super Mario 3D World’s lifetime sales have climbed to 655,000 copies while The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds sits at 715,000 units.
Game Informer also reports, “3DS and Wii U software sales were up 6 percent and 26 percent when normalized for a four-week month.”

Update: Most sales on 3DS – Mutant Mudds Deluxe has sold more on Wii U than Steam/PS3/Vita versions combined
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 7 Comments
Update: Watsham has confirmed that 3DS has the best-selling version (see below).
Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham shared an interesting sales tidbit about Mutant Mudds Deluxe on Twitter just a few minutes ago.
According to Watsham, sales of the Wii U version have outperformed the Steam, PS3, and PS Vita release combined. He said:
Interesting tidbit. Mutant Mudds Deluxe has sold more on Wii U than the combined sales on Steam and PSV/PS3.
— Jools Watsham (@JoolsWatsham) February 12, 2014
For what it’s worth, Mutant Mudds Deluxe has been out on Wii U longer than the PS3 and PS Vita versions by a few months, but the PC release hit Steam nearly a year prior.
As for the 3DS, that version tops all, Watsham says:
@NintendoTweet 3DS is king. 🙂
