The good professor sees a healthy debut in August.
According to the NPD Group, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box has sold 67,500 copies since its August 24 debut. The puzzle-solving franchise has seen a solid reception since the first title, Professor Layton and the Curious Village, debuted last year in North America.
The first game still has a presence across the sales charts, including North America and Europe, a likely benefit of a strong marketing push with ads featuring ex-"Friends" cast member Lisa Kudrow.
