Hyrule Warriors Pulls Record Debut Numbers for Warriors Series in Europe

Quote:

The best-selling Musou game in Europe is Dynasty Warriors 4... and it sold 210k. Hyrule Warriors has sold more than 35% of that in two days. It was on PS2, so no detailed information for that game, but the best-selling Musou game of the last generation in Europe was One Piece: Pirate Musou for PS3, which opened with 36.5k and has sold 205k to date (released two years ago nearly to the day). That was on a system with an install base of 26.5 million in Europe. The Wii U has an install base in Europe of 1.7 million. That's right, it had a stronger first week by about 100% while being on a system with an install base just 7% of the size. And if it sells with the same proportion of first-week to lifetime, then Hyrule Warriors can expect somewhere around 415k, which would make it the best-selling Musou game in Europe ever, with the next nearest being just 50% of its sales.

Tl;dr - Hyrule Warriors sold 73,734 copies in its first week in Europe, a series high for the Warriors games, despite Wii U being a major flop in Europe (1.7M sold so far).

Hyrule Warriors is a Wii U exclusive and is in stores now.

Is it good? I bought a Wii U because of Mario Kart 8 and I only play Mario Kart 8. I literally don't have another game

Yes. I absolutely adore it. I was expecting to be disappointed and it blew my hat off. The characters are really creative and there is so much to do.

If you're not a fan of Warriors/Musou games (the genre is called hack n' slash), then you may want to wait for Bayonetta 2 (which will be another PERFECT game).

Hyrule Warriors is amazing if you go into it with the mindset that it is a spin-off and non canon! A lot of the reviews kept comparing it to the main series when it is a TOTALLY different game.

Congrats HW, may the DLC only make the game even better and have an online coop mode
