Japan – Media Create sales for Week 38, 2015 (September 14th – 20th) [Top 30]

Update

Added the rest of the Top 30 + Hardware sales + Famitsu sales.

***

During Week 38, only one game came out on Nintendo platforms in Japan: Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, which had a pretty good debut with over 150 000 units sold (which is better than Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, also on Nintendo 3DS). The shipment was lower though, which seems to imply that Nintendo and The Pokémon Company expect it not to sell as well as its predecessor… or maybe that they had more “realistic” expectations for it.

Pokemon Super Mystery DungeonIn the rest of the chart, there’s Super Mario Maker in #2 with a pretty good second week: it sold 54 544 copies during Week 38, a 61% drop compared to Week 37. Next week, it will reach definitely reach 200 000 units, and it should keep on selling well throughout the rest of the year. It will be quite interesting to see what kind of impact the Silver Week (public holidays from Monday to Wednesday, this week) will have on its sales.

As for Yo-kai Watch Busters and Splatoon, their sales are pretty stable: those two titles should prove really popular during the Silver Week, and throughout the rest of the year. Splatoon is, by far, the most interesting of the two, as it managed to sell over 750 000 units (retail + digital) on its own, and on an unhealthy console. Holidays sales are bound to be impressive for this game.

Hardware-wise, the Nintendo 3DS remained rather stable, mainly because of Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon and the new New Nintendo 3DS pack. Thanks to the Silver Week, they should go up during Week 39, though the impact should remain limited compared to the Golden Week and other, more important holiday weeks.

As for the Wii U, it’s holding surprisingly well with 16 000 units sold (as opposed to 20 000 last week). It’s twice as much as the same week in 2014, which is definitely good news for Nintendo (even though it’s way too late for any long-term recovery). Sales should remain at this level for a couple more weeks, before dropping sharply come October (which is one of the worst months of the year for both Hardware and Software sales).
