Japanese Sales Chart: Pokémon Still on Top (Week Ending November 30, 2014)
The latest sales data from Japan is in, and there are a number of new entries in the software sales top twenty list, although only one for the 3DS, namely Etrian Odyssey Untold II, which debuts at number three.
Despite the strong newcomers on other platforms, Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire retains the number one spot, selling just shy of 300,000 this week to bring its two-week total to 1.6 million.
The Wii U is steady this week, with two entries thanks to Mario and friends. Mario Kart 8 and Captain Toad both sold around 12,000 copies each, and sit comfortably at numbers 13 and 14 respectively.
In hardware, every platform apart from the New 3DS (not the LL) had an increase in sales this week, with the New 3DS LL (Japan’s XL) staying at number one, and the number two spot going to a non-Nintendo device for the first time in a very long time. The New 3DS comes in at number three, with the “old” 3DS and 3DS LL coming in at fourth and fifth, respectively. The Wii U saw over 12,000 sales to sit at number seven on the list.
Another strong week for Nintendo in Japan. Check out the list below and let us know your thoughts on what’s been selling well in Japan recently.
