Japanese Sales Chart: Monster Hunter 4 hits 2 Million Sales (Week Ending November 2, 2014)
This week’s sales data from Japan brings with it a milestone of over 2 million sales for 3DS title, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. The game sits comfortably in the number one position, and the 3DS held onto the top three software positions this week, with Yokai Watch 2 and Super Smash Bros. rounding out the numbers. Both are also very high sellers, with Yokai Watch 2 now sitting at almost 3 million sales, and Super Smash Bros. well over 1.5 million.
In hardware, another dive this week for sales as every platform apart from the Wii U saw a reduction in numbers. That’s not to say that the Wii U performed especially well, coming in at eighth position with 4696 sales, but at least it sold more than last week. Mario Kart 8 remains the Wii U’s only software title in the top 20, slowly slipping down the list to hit number 17 this week.
