Rayman Legends sells under 1,500 copies in its first week in Japan
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 20 Comments
Rayman Legends was the second best-selling Wii U title in Japan during the week of October 14th. Sadly, that’s not saying much. Dengeki Online reports (via ASCII Media Works) Rayman Legends sold just 1,435 copies in its debut week at retail.
Nintendo published Rayman Legends as a Japanese Wii U exclusive on October 17th. Dengeki’s data period ended on the 20th, so the site’s figure accounts for less than a full week of sales. Still, we can’t help but be disappointed, even though the game’s slow start is far from surprising.

No Need for Speed: Rivals for Wii U due to poor sales of Most Wanted
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 8 Comments
Last year’s Need for Speed game, Most Wanted, landed on Wii U earlier this year as a late (but impressive) port. The same can’t be said of this year’s release, Rivals.
