October sales show a sluggish DJ Hero

DJ-Hero

Despite using some of the top DJs and rappers in the business to promote the title, DJ Hero only sold 122,300 units in the month of October. To its defense, the game did come out on the 27th, meaning that’s just 5 days to generate sales. It’s likely that the high price tag and the fact that it’s a game about being a DJ does limit its market.

We’ll have to look at November to see whether the game is considered a real success or not. Here are the console by console sales for the title:

DJ Hero (Xbox 360) – 62,000 units
DJ Hero (PS3) – 39,000 units
DJ Hero (Wii) – 19,000 units
DJ Hero (PS2) – 3,300 units
