I can tell you that in the EU eshop, DD has knocked MH3 out of the top 20 of all time bestsellers, and holds that position :-) It also has stayed in the top 10 for All Reveiws and Recent Reviews since it's release, and stayed in the top 15 for recent bestsellers too :-)
Some actual numbers would be nice though :-)

Not to be pessimistic about it, but I'm not sure if we'll ever get sales numbers from the U.S. sales, based on previous statements regarding Downloadable games/versions. Hopefully it will be mentioned at some point.

I wish Sven was still around. He'd probably have already given us a hint of how it did.

Woah it has better reviews than Zelda?!

Not expecting DD to have done so well in US, seeing as it was a download only. That might effect the overall sales rating.

Well... Yeah, that was the point. Of course Capcom had lower sales expectations than with a retail release or any kind of AAA release. Expectations on par with an above-average downloadable title.

...I hope so, at least. They would be huge idiots if they expected retail numbers on an eShop exclusive.

I'm fairly certain Sven said he had to pitch higher sales forecast than normal for the series to the higher-ups in order to convince them to localize it at all, actually.

Either way I think we were set up to fail sales wise from the beginning, but I guess at the very least it got one last title brought over.

Always a fan of your positivity.

Funny how it even goes against the facts: it did excellent in eShop standards because it's still high in the best-sellers sections, and has been since launch, and it's one of the few 3DS games that got Miiverse communities at launch, meaning there's a big enough userbase (there are quite a lot of posts in DD's Miiverse community, too.)

But let's not assume it failed and/or succeeded, even though it's looking like it's leaning towards the latter. Let's just hope Capcom says something sooner than later.

My comment was actually directed toward the fact Capcom seems to have set "aggressive" sales expectations for the game possibly expecting it to outsell the previous retail games, which I happen to think is laughable in it's face. I expect it probably is doing well enough for a digital game, likely in part to the fact that most people would have bought it retail if given the choice. They can't and it's actually a full retail game not the lighter usual eshop fair. It has some strong factors working for it from that standpoint.

Though that does remind me I need to update my 3DS and get in on that Miiverse action.

In the US e-shop, it has a 5 star rating, with over 2200 reviews, over 2000 of which are five stars. For not quite being out two months, I would think this is pretty good.

Anyone know how it's doing in other countries?
