3DS shifted an additional 10 million games last year
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 6 Comments
A new report published by IDC and App Annie reveals that the 3DS shipped an additional 10 million pieces of software last year compared with the year prior, resulting in 30 million games sold in total. Across all handhelds, Pokemon X/Y, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon were the top three grossing titles.
3DS certainly performed well in 2013, but smartphones blew away all portable competition. 75 percent of 2013’s handheld share came from Android and iOS devices, according to the report.
As a whole, boxed and full-game digital spending on portable systems increased nine percent between 2012 and 2013.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze sold through 35% of initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 17 Comments
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze sold 36,000 units (give or take) in its first week on the Japanese market. This we know. Media Create, however, has shared a few extra bits about the game’s sales.
Perhaps most significant, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze only sold through 35.28 percent of its initial shipment. Media Create mentions that the series is seeing a downward trend in sales. As previously mentioned, Donkey Kong Country Returns on Wii sold 163,000 units in its first week while the 3DS port sold another 104,000 units.
Aside from the Wii U’s lower installed base, why are gamers seemingly less interested? Media Create speculates that people aren’t being enticed by the new layers within Tropical Freeze. The sales tracker also cautions people to consider the heavy snow last weekend, especially in places like Tohoku and Kanto areas.
And of course, we can’t forget about what kind of title Donkey Kong is. Media Create points out that more sales will come over a longer period of time due to its evergreen nature.
Japanese Monster Hunter 4 shipments climb to 4.1 million
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 Comments
When Capcom last spoke about Monster Hunter 4’s sales, it confirmed that the game’s shipments were at 4 million. That was in December. Since then, Capcom says Monster Hunter 4 has shipped 4.1 million units. It’s also seeing a “high” sell-through rate, according to the publisher.

Comparing Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze’s Japanese sales to Returns
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 18 Comments
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze sold 35,000 copies in its first week on the Japanese market. How does that figure stack up to Donkey Kong Country Returns?
When the Wii game originally came out, it sold 163,000 units in its first week. The 3DS port Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D also sold quite well having moved 104,000 copies.
