Japanese Sales Charts: Yokai Watch 2 debuts on top (Week Ending July 13, 2014)
The Japanese sales data from last week is in, and Yokai Watch 2 has debuted firmly on top of the software charts. The game sold extremely well, with over 1.3 million combined sales of its two Ganso and Honke versions.
Other software sales continued to slow from last week. Mario Kart 8 remains the Wii U’s only top 20 entry, coming in again at number 4 with just over 15,000 sales.
The Yokai Watch 2 debut also pushed 3DS sales up, more than doubling last week’s sales with over 55,000 sales for the week. Other hardware fared more or less the same as last week, with the Wii U just scraping into third spot.
Check out the full list below and let us know your thoughts on the way things were last week in Japan.
