Famitsu: digital sales estimates for April 2018

In the issue released on May 31st, Famitsu magazine shared the latest digital sales data (estimates) for the video game market in Japan. The data is for April 2018, and more precisely the period going from March 26th to April 29th (so 5 weeks in total). As always, do note that the data below are mere estimates from Famitsu, and therefore not 100% accurate.

This month, there really isn’t much to say about Nintendo platforms, which only get 1 entry: The Snack World: Trejarers Gold on Nintendo Switch. Since this is a game primarily aimed at a family audience, it’s no wonder digital sales estimates are low: it sold an estimated 2 467 units on the Nintendo eShop, so 3.78% of total sales.

Here’s the digital sales estimates for April 2018, from Famitsu:
