Forums - Sales - What happened to Layton in the US?

Faxanadu on 25 June 2009

Seriously, it seemed like the game would stagnate at about 300k some months ago.

But suddenly, it started to take off and currently it is at about 700k.

What happened? Did they eventually start advertising?

I think it might have been word of mouth, but I'm not sure. Game is doing amazingly well, though. Level 5 have got a money cow on their hands :)

You're right - it really boomed. http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=America&game1=Professor+Layton+and+the+Mysterious+Village+-+DS&reg2=America&game2=&reg3=America&game3=&weeks=100&weekly=1

 I believe the answer is; DSi.

It started escalating the week before DSi, though. From 6 to 12K, then DSi released and boomed it up.

Didnt it also coincide a lot with the European release?

It has had some great advertising for it.

Word of mouth also helps.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
