First Week Sales are in for Hyrule Warriors

First week sales have arrived for Hyrule Warriors out of Japan, and, like all numbered statistics, you can interpret them in many different ways. Personally I’ll start by saying this: the sales weren’t great, but they weren’t horrible either. Hyrule Warriors finished at #2 for the week behind a rather popular Japanese 3DS game. That’s certainly nothing to be ashamed of in the land that values mobile and handheld gaming devices more than home console. The only question now that I have is if these sales will fall off or show some consistency week to week, like Mario Kart 8.

What can lend to some positives out of this is that this debut crushed

The Wind Waker HD, which sold 31,154 during its first week. What do you think?
