I can’t say I didn’t see that coming, but that sales boost still managed to impress me.
I mean.. FORTY-FIVE thousand of Vitas sold in one week *raised eyebrow* that’s more than double the sales the Vita can get for a week! I guess the Vita/Vita TV Dragon Quest Bundle is to blame.
Oh boy, with a proper marketing campaign this game would make the Vita’s sales in the US go through the roof. But I’m sure scea won’t give a F, so this will never happen.
Still, glad to see our handheld doing so great in Japan. Here’s to hoping Dragon Quest Builders 2 stays on the platform and competes against Yokai Watch. But then again, this is SE, so this might not happen.
