This week saw some stiff competition for Nintendo in Japan this week, with three new games for various Sony consoles taking the lead. Nintendo entered the software charts at number 4 with new 3DS entry Taiko Drum Master, which moved over 50,000 units.

Yokai Watch remains in the top 10, dropping to 7th place but selling a similar amount as last week. The Wii U had two entries this week, with Mario Kart 8 making the top 10 and new entry Kamen Rider from Bandai Namco coming in at number 13.

In hardware, the 3DS retained its number 1 position despite a boost in sales for handheld competitor Vita, which came in at number 2. The Wii U fared reasonably well coming in at number 3 to once again beat other home console sales.

Check out the full charts below and let us know your thoughts on this week’s Japanese sales figures.
