Japanese Sales Chart: Super Smash Bros. Continues to Dominate (Week Ending October 5, 2014)
The sales data for Nintendo’s homeland are in for the week ending October 5, and Super Smash Bros for 3DS has retained its number one position in the software charts for the fourth week running.
The Wii U still has three games in the top 10, with Fatal Frame and Mario Kart slipping to 11th and 16th positions respectively, and Bayonetta 2 just scraping in at number 20.
Hardware sales have taken a slight beating this month, with literally every console in the top ten taking a hit to sales. The 3DS is still the strongest seller, and the Wii U is outselling the other home consoles in the region, so Nintendo fare the best overall in a seemingly tough market.
Check out the full list below and let us know your thoughts in the Japanese sales this week.
