DBZ 2012 Sales Charts?

Post by dbboxkaifan » Mon Feb 04, 2013 10:35 am

How many copies did DRAGON BALL Z BUDOKAI HD COLLECTION and DRAGON BALL Z FOR KINECT sold both worldwide?

VGChartz is helpless, it doesn't have any info of its sales.

I'm really just curious but I don't think either one was very successful anyway. Namco Bandai needs to step up their game if they want DBZ to be profitable.

This is an impossible request. The games weren't released in Japan so there's no Media Create/Famitsu/Dengeki numbers. These games aren't high profile enough to get NPD numbers leaked for the United States, and it's incredibly difficult to track European sales data, let alone get the numbers. As Mike pointed out on the home page, both releases failed to make Namco Bandai's best sellers list so we don't have a clue on their shipment total either. Though, we can assume each one is under 500,000 units, but that shouldn't be shocking given what both releases are.
"I like the money it brings in, but Dragon Ball Heroes is the worst. That's actually the real reason I decided to start working on new material. I was afraid Bandai would make something irredeemably stupid like Super Saiyan 4 Broly." - Akira Toriyama, made up interview, 2013.

I don't think the sales were nothing special. DBZ games have not been selling great after 2007. It won't surprise me if we don't get a new game at all this year.

To be frank, if that happened, it'd be great (non-existent) news because it could mean that Namco Bandai is finally taking time to rethink about their DBZ yearly games quality over quantity, though, more than likely fans are expecting 2013 DBZ (not to mention another DBZ 2013 game possibly).

With Spike out of the picture, DBZ games could finally get on the right track again.
