Japanese retailers ordered an initial shipment of 600,000 copies of the DS version of Ni no Kuni, more than any previous Level-5 game.[32] It was the second best-selling video game during its week of release in the region at 170,548 copies sold.[33] Hino stated in February 2011 that the game has sold over 500,000 units in Japan, so he definitely classifies it as a hit. [34] In contrast to the DS version, the PS3's initial shipment was around 164,000, and in the first week an estimated 65,000 to 67,000 copies were sold.[39]

Ich kann mit solchen Zahlen immer relativ wenig anfangen, selbst wenn Februar 2011 aber noch 100 000 Kopien übrig waren, schien es ja trotzdem ein rechter Erfolg gewesen zu sein.
