correct me if i am wrong but the game released on the 27th here in the states and this weeks charts says its from the week of September 27th. so what i am asking is that is the chart began the tracking on the 27th which means the 99K would be hyrule warriors first week sales or is it ending the tracking for that week on the 27th which would mean that the 99K would be Hyrule Warriors day 1 sales which is it? |
Close, The game was released on September 26th. So this is Hyrule Warriors sales for days 1 and 2, but as per standard the sales of those 2 days represent around 90% of the sales of the full week, so don't expect any residual boost for the next week. I also don't think the game will hold particulary well, if should be very front loaded, and maybe a small holiday boost around the holidays.

I think it will receive a larger holiday boost than may be expected. It is, afterall, a Zelda game and Zelda/Mario sell really well during holidays. I wouldn't be surprised to see Windwaker HD or Link Between Worlds make a strong push again, to be honest.
On another note, it has over 300k global in physical sales now. It's looking pretty health on the NA eshop charts in recent sales atm so I'm really curious to find out what it has sold digitally. I haven't bought it yet (too little time, too great of a backlog, and too many games coming out that I want to play). I'll get it this holiday probably.
