Japanese Sales Chart: Majora’s Mask Debuts on Top (Week Ending February 15, 2015)
The latest sales data from Japan is in, and this week saw the launch The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask for the 3DS. The game made a strong impact with over 230,000 sales, making it the top-seller by far.
This helped 3DS hardware sales, which saw a massive boost of New 3DS LL/XL sales to see almost double last week’s numbers, and modest increases in the other 3DS models.
The Wii U managed to sell more units than last week with over 7000 sales, putting it in fifth position. In software, Mario Kart 8 has slipped out of the top twenty for the first time since launch, leaving two Wii U entries, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse and Super Smash Bros., at numbers sixteen and eighteen respectively.
Check out the full charts below and let us know your thoughts on the way things were in Japan last week.
