Monster Hunter 4 sales surpass three million in Japan
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Monster Hunter 4 has now sold over three million copies in Japan. The game is selling at a rate of roughly 40,000 copies each week.
Famitsu wrote in its latest issue:
“With the tenth anniversary of the franchise approaching, 2014 should be an even more exciting year for MH than ever before. MH4 continues to generate a lot of attention in the market, and we can expect sales to continue going forward. Going into the holiday season, the newly-improved MH4 will likely have even more of a performance to show us.”
I’m assuming the latest news coming from Famitsu is different from Capcom’s announcement last month. The publisher had announced that Monster Hunter 4 shipments had exceeded three million. Famitsu’s article seems to apply to actual sales rather than shipments.

October 2013 NPD: rough hardware estimates
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 2 Comments
NPD never hands out hardware data these days, meaning we usually have to rely on leaks and estimates in order to find out how well systems perform each month. Thankfully, NeoGAF user “creamsugar” has come through with a decent overview of October’s sales in the US.
Here’s a general estimate provided by creamsugar’s leak:
PSV < 30k < Wii < 40k < 50k < Wii U < 60k < 100k < PS3 < 120k This figure suggests that the Wii U managed to outsell the Wii, which the console has had a tough time doing most of the year. Wii U apparently sold between 50,000 and 60,000 units while the Wii moved between 30,000 and 40,000 consoles. Source
October 2013 NPD: Sonic Lost World sells under 30,000 copies on Wii U/3DS in first week
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 5 Comments
Sonic Lost World’s debut sales in the US are in. For the month of October, the game sold under 30,000 copies. That figure combines sales of both versions – Wii U and 3DS.
Now, 30,000 copies isn’t a whole lot, but there is something important to keep in mind. Sonic Lost World launched in North America on October 29. NPD’s latest reporting period ended on November 2. This means Sonic’s debut sales account for a little less than a week of sales.

October 2013: Nintendo’s response, 3DS hardware sales double, more
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 3 Comments
Nintendo has responded to the October 2013 NPD data report.
The company’s results are highlighted by 3DS sales, which came in at 452,000 units last month. October 3DS sales doubled last month’s total, and according to Nintendo, “marked the most units any portable video game system or home console has sold in a single month in 2013.”
Pokemon X/Y were the top two selling titles in the US last month. Both versions sold 1.7 million copies in the US.
Thanks to the new Pokemon releases, October was the biggest month for 3DS software. Nintendo said in its NPD response today, “Total Nintendo 3DS first-party software sales hit more than 2 million units sold, the highest tally since the report for December 2011, which included sales of hit games Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7.”
You can find Nintendo’s full NPD response below.
