Nice Wii U boost, even if it is only temporary. Also a good opening week for Lego City, and a decent opening for Monster Hunter.

Nice Wii U numbers in US this week, looks like LEGO City helped a lot! Monster Hunter a bit too.

Also it seems no matter how much Capcom markets Monster Hunter outside Japan, nobody will ever care. Hopefully they will at least make a little profit over the localization costs so the few fans there are can still enjoy future localizations.


I think 100k is enough to make a profit


Don't be so certain, besides translation costs, there's also distribution logistics and marketing costs. Advertisement in particular costs a lot.

Would be interesting to see MH3U's marketing costs, the only form of advertisement for the game I've seen so far was on the eshop (no banners on websites, no advertisements on TV - not even on the kids channels, no trailers in cinema...) :/

Lego City numbers are surprising and so is the Wii U boost.

Decent Wii U numbers, still dead like vita though.

wow lego sold more than i thought it would. but those wii u numbers in NA look a little to high. the numbers for lego and mh dont add up correctly. plus the numbers for vita sales in japan are wrong. famistu and media create said vita sold 41k in japan this week so vita still outsold wii u this week

No one said it sold 41k the other said 38k so 39.8k is the middle.



Former something....

I hope the developers realize now that nobody wants prequels

Vita
Famitsu: 37883
Media Create: 41073

Although I say every week, Media Create, as a dedicated Japanese game industry analysis company, has a much better sales analysis model than Famitsu, a Japanese game news company. In the end though they are both estimations like VGC.

Nice Wii U boost in NA, hopefully it can stay above 50k.

I do believe the Wii U numbers. Lego is the first game thats exclusive and looks fun other than Zombie U, Nintendo Land, NSMBU.

And there are people who really love that franchise. Its definetly a mini system seller.
