Amazon Japan has published its best-selling list for video games in 2013 – unsurprisingly Monster Hunter 4 has topped the board and takes the crown. Sales for Monster Hunter 4 on the Nintendo 3DS in Japan reached an unprecedented 4 million sales in just two and a half months since its release. In second place is the coveted Animal Crossing: New Leaf, while Pokemon X steals third place from Grand Theft Auto V.
In fact, almost half of the list is dominated by Nintendo 3DS games, which just proves how successful the handheld console has become in the last year. There’s a distinct lack of sales for Wii U games, but one title does crop in and places at number 17, New Super Mario Bros. U – a great feat. Here’s hoping the Wii U grabs a few more slots in the list by the end of next year. Check out the top 20 best-selling video games below.
1. Monster Hunter 4 (3DS)
2. Animal Crossing: New Leaf (3DS)
3. Pokémon X (3DS)

Wiiu Dead after 2013 …Wii Doomed U.Exposed
Ok good for you and your prediction.
Go eat Some Ice.Xbot ;)
Look who’s talking…
Nintendo Commander don’t freeze them over. ice and adarazz are only at freezing point, that sub zero is too much for them.
Gamer welcome back, I don’t see you here there days…
I didn’t realize……how could we have ben so mistaken!
cool best selling game and they’re not even making the effort to get it translated and sold in the west as fast as possible
Crapcom has been doing a lot of dumb stuff ever since they canceled all of those Mega Man games.
And it’s all going to mobile gaming….
Just hurry up and die already, Capcom.
Give your IP’s to people who deserve them.
give Rock to the big N. let rero work on megaman
Sell us your franchises Capconian Force and we will gladly restore order…
Just wait for the next street fighter 100 on Wiiu with 200 Dlcs
So in other words the Xbot machines and Sonyan ones will have 9000DLC and 300 different versions of the same game?…
Good to see Ace Attorney in the top 10 there. Also, splitting Pokémon X and Y is so stupid. These sales trackers need to stop doing it!
damn. japan sure loves the 3ds.
And why is Pokémon two different spots? Shouldn’t they just count them as one? Hey w/e
no they’re two different products and so they’ll be listed seperately.
3DS is Awesome! I think that we’re seriously underestimating the 3DS in terms of sales and it will continue to smash records, but go unnoticed. It’s sad really, since the 3DS is really selling at an unprecedented rate. I’m glad that the Wii U got a shot in, but the 3DS is what counts.

3DS is so successful even Nintendo themselves are competing with it lol.
Nice, GTAV sucks.
Hurry the fuck up and release it in the US already… The 3DS install base is already pretty huge.
