The latest sales data from Japan is in, and this week was another massive week for Nintendo, despite the lack of major new content.
Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon continued to dominate the charts with another 168,978 sales, pushing it very close to the one million mark for total sales. Super Mario Odyssey, in second place, is also edging closer, with another 77,751 sales bringing it to a total of 792,059. Expect them both to hit the one million mark before Christmas.
A couple of new entries did sneak into the top twenty, with Beyblade Burst: God and the limited edition of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney hitting the 3DS and selling enough to reach 11th and 14th spots, respectively.
In hardware, the Switch had a very successful week, with over 145,000 sales, over 50,000 more than last week’s impressive 86,999. The 2DS and 3DS LL models came in third and fourth places respectively, selling about 31,000 between them.
