Hatsune Miku Project Diva Mega 39’s

Hatsune Miku Project Diva Mega 39’s was released last week in Japan, and it seems to be selling fairly well. SEGA have sent a notice to apologise for the shortages currently impacting the game, which has become hard to find at many stores across Japan. They confirm that more copies are on the way, though it looks like it will take a while for them to reach retailers (which is why they recommend players interested to place a pre-order).

Media Create reported that Day 1 sell-through was about 60%, which implies the game had stronger sales than expected during the weekend.
