For a Holiday week, only 3DS succeeded to take full benefit of it. WiiU sold well too.
HW sold just as I predicted ! not when it was firstly announced though.
SAO and Freedom Wars sell approximately the same amounts each week, which is nice. wonder if the SAO's digital sales are as good as FW's.

it will be interesting to see what kind of drop Hyrule Warriors has next week

usually Musou games drop down in sales very quickly, yet Nintendo games tend to have good legs - I wonder how this one will do

Zelda games don't have good legs though in Japan, iirc.

Thats not true.

I think they're decent numbers for Hyrule Warriors. Not amazing,but not bad either. Good bump for Wii U for the week,almost breaking that 20k weekly

So Hyrule Warriors gave a decent boost supported by Obon week, the game itself didn't have a great first week by Zelda or Dynasty Warriors standards.

By combining the two IPs they managed to make a less popular game than each one individually.

Ouch :p

But I think that both franchises are on a decline lately. Or am I mistaken?

Nice Wii U bump but I thought Hyrule would have been higher.

Pathetic PS4. Not sure what I would have expected for Hyrule Warriors, but a good hardware bump for Wii U.

Yay, reserved :)

Decent for Hyrule Warriors. Not a bomba; not a success.

Monster Hunter Frontier Vita did better than I was expecting though (which was sub 10k). And yay, Freedom Wars up!

Hardware across the board didn't rise as much as I had hoped it would, though. I thought Wii-U would've taken out Vita in hardware.

A little less than i expected (85k HW, 20k Wii U), but pretty close.
Terrible first week sales imo. There were even holidays, right?
Seems like a pretty disappointing release.

If you're interested in Nintendo content and understand german, maybe you want to take a look at my youtube channel! :)
