Another week’s worth of sales data is in from Japan and this week is a particularly slow week for the Big N , as they face off against a high number of new releases from competitors.
Interestingly, Wii U sales picked up slightly this week, hitting 7595 total hardware sales, and Mario Party 10 makes a welcome top ten entry at number nine. The top 3DS entry in the software charts was at number ten, with newcomer PriPara & Pretty Rhythm selling over 21,000 units.
It may seem dismal but the 3DS overall held its own, still moving almost 30,000 units across its four iterations, actually coming in at number two on the hardware charts when added together. Considering the competition this week, this isn’t a bad result at all.
Check out the full sales charts below and let us know what you think about the numbers this week.
