Today, Media Create released its weekly report for video game sales in Japan, providing us with more sales data for Week 3, 2016. During Week 3, a total of 582 000 games were sold in Japan, which is 120.56% of Week 2 sales: a noticeable improvement, due to several new (and popular) releases that came out last week in Japan.
