A week has passed since DGS' release, and Media Create have released sales numbers to show us how it's doing!

...In other words, DGS sold (in physical copies) about 135,000 units, which represents somewhere between 60 and 80% of its initial shipment. That's quite a bit lower than AA5's ~250k unit debut, but tops PLvsPW's ~129k. It's also worth noting DGS went up against the 3DS juggernaut that is Yokai Watch; seems like Level-5 franchises are just destined to outsell AA games!

In addition, the game's first paid DLC content has gone on sale; it features a short scene set immediately after episode 1, concept art of Ryuunosuke, an unused "Court Begins" theme, voice clips from Ryuunosuke and Susato, the TGS 2014 Special Court video, and a Ryuunsouke theme for the 3DS. It costs 300 yen, or players can spend 2000 yen to purchase a season pass.

Hi! I've largely stepped back from C-R due to life stuff. Please contact one of the other staff members for help!

I don't know personally if this is either a good or bad thing, considering the fact that it seems quite lower than the sales for Apollo Justice and Dual Destinies, which doesn't bode well in favor of Capcom wanting to trouble themselves with localizing this to the Western audience.

The slight hope is though that it beat Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright in sales figure, along with knowing the head of the localization's team involvement being around the corner.

Among the spinoffs that's the second best sales figure, only AAI (which was a spin-off but with well known characters) sold better during the first week. AAI2 and PLvAA had slightly weaker sales.
