Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and Monster Hunter XX Are Big Hits in Japan

Nintendo’s Switch continues to see strong sales figures and two titles in particular seem to be doing well in Japan and across Asia right now.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 launched last week, so it’s still a bit too early to have any exact sales figures, but Bandai Namco reports that they are experiencing a shortage of copies of the game and that they expect to ship out more by the end of the month.

Of course, it’s possible that Bandai Namco only shipped a modest amount of Dragon Ball at launch and so this may not amount to a surprisingly large amount of copies sold, but the fact that demand is outpacing supply indicates that consumers are very much interested. The western release of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 on Switch is September 22.

Meanwhile, Monster Hunter XX has shipped over 300,000 copies across Asia, with 200,000 units shipped to Japan alone. The game is also experiencing a high download rate in Japan and sales figures through September 3 indicate that 110,000 copies have been sold digitally on Switch in total.
