This week’s Media Create sales are now in from Japan. Mario Party: Island Tour has stormed to the top of this week’s chart, selling over 130,000 copies on the 3DS. Though the game had some mixed reviews – in our own review we gave it 5.5 – it sold reasonably well with western users and now echoes its performance in Japan.
In terms of hardware sales, the PlayStation Vita tops the board with 35k, while 3DS and 3DS XL combined sell over 40k this week. The Wii U takes a small leap up once more from last week’s 7.6k to almost 10k this week. You can view the top 20 software chart and hardware chart below.

Doomed no matter what.
Yes, Vita right ?
Outside of Japan, pretty much, yeah.

All numbers increase so overall was a good gaming week.
Cool. Glad to see Wii U picking up speed even though it hasn’t had a big release in a month there.
Looks like PS Vita isn’t dead after all, that’s good to see.
Poor Wii U though…
no new releases, it’s to be expected
Vita only sells in Japan. Dead in every other market.
Exactly.
Yep. But in Japan there´s a cheaper model and there´s a good flow of new games for it. We don´t have that cheaper model in the West and there´s no sign that Sony will launch it eventually (besides in UK, where it will be actually more expensive than the regular model)
Doesn’t make up for the ridiculously priced proprietary memory cards and still lack of compelling games in the west.
It will be coming to the West, to the US as well. And no, it won’t be more expensive than the regular one. There’s even a Borderlands 2 bundle planned, for $199. And why does everyone say UK, it’s going to come to other parts of Europe too. I do realize that the UK is Europe’s strongest country when it comes to video games, but that doesn’t make every other country non-existent.
Honestly, I’m more interested in seeing how well J-Stars Victory VS is doing after a week. I really want my copy to get here soon so that I can obliterate Goku with Koro-Sensei. This is one game that EVERYONE who’s a fan of Weekly Shonen Jump (or all anime fighters in general) can import for their region free PS3’s.
Nah, Goku will beat him easily, by giving him adult magazines. Just like he did to the turtle hermit.
True, or giving him loads of candy. Koro-Sensei loves candy. XD
Excellent, momentum is picking up
Favourite part of Mynintendonews.com because I get to burst in laughter while playing Infamous 2 son lol hahahaha
WiiUnderpowwred sales kill me lol
Stop saying it’s under-powered, because it isn’t.
Yeah, it can play gameboy advance games! I wish Sony or Mricosoft take rights of Gamecude games.
Don’t argue with the idiot. We all know Ps4 and Xbox One are as current gen as Wii U is. You have to understand that hating Nintendo is the thing right now. After a while, it’ll just go away like the 3ds. I bet anyone wouldn’t like to talk about how the 3ds is doomed right?
cause it isnt doomed at all,most games on there have streetpass and online features.
Infamous 2 son? -_- really dude?
Yeah, whatever faggot.
A boring 3rd person game lol yay
nintendrones got their re-re-re-release 20year old games on the eshop.
Yeah, and you re-re-re-re-argue with yourself to make yourself look like a stupid ass and have us milk you for the lulz because of your own butthurt.
Damage control lol.Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Give it up dude lol ps4 is killing it with no GoW, Uncharted 4,Jrpg game ect
Ladies and Gentleman, make way for the new King of Butthurt, King Aeolus, all hail the great ass hole!
All that means is that Sony is doing a better job market in their console, which we already knew anyway.
*marketing excuse me
Actually Sony is selling less than WiiU at this point in its release.
So I guess in your unintelligible speak…
#SONYFAIL #4AWHORE #SONYBANKRUPTCOMPANY
*in the Japan market of course… which is what this article is about.
Damage Control Vs Fanboyims… both sometimes ends in the same level of retardation… sad.
Lucky me, a misspelled word… Fanboyism*, fixed.
That, sir, is a low blow. I corrected myself so others would be able to understand me. Something the internet isn’t aware exists I guess.
Fixing my misspelled word is not going to affect me, or any other person, at all. I like to make understandable and clear statements, even though Internet is the home of human retardation (which I’m already aware of that).
The thing is I am open about my “fanboyism”
It honestly isn’t an insult, I do not see what’s wrong with being a big fan of what you love
The reply was for Aeolus. I already know this guy, not necessary a fanboy, but he acts like one, and obviously, Flaming Comments is his specialty.
For you N.I.M.B… If you don’t know (yet), I strongly recommend you to learn the difference between *Fan Vs. Fanboyism*, very similar words, very different definitions.
What is wrong with fanboyism? fairly simple, you cannot make a coherent, constructive, and healthy dialogue with a person that is closed-minded, without breaking the line of respect. There are many other reasons of why fanboyism is wrong, but this is the most basic one.
Lol Aeolus is such a dumbass.
There are no 2DS numbers yet? hmm…
Not sold in Japan.
Japan loves the party games.
anyone remember wii party u?
Go Sony! Make sure Nintendo learn their lessons!
10k is a good jump from the previous weeks.
lol wiiu fanboys say 10k is good
and you say titanfall is good, which I have it and I’m very horrid at it but its no different from other shooters.
Lol But I ironiclly say its okay for ps4 to have no gamez because I’m such a dumbass with a cactus still crawling up my asshole slowly making me more and more butthurt each day.
Why are xl snd reg 3ds sales combined as one unit…. this isnt very accurate.
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze was ousted from Media Create Top 20 and Famitsu Top 30… After 6 months the sheer number of new releases ousted Pokemon X and Y from the Media Create Top 20, with sales of over 4 million.
Despite these, seems a great week for Japanese video game sales… However according to Famitsu Vita sales outnumbered those of 3DS that week.
The Wii U is fucking bad ass. I just got a PS4 and there are absolutely no games for it at all, and there is no way I would buy an XBOXone.
Sp Talk all the shit you want, Ninteno is bad ass right now. more than 10 exclusives triple AAA titles, and some others coming.
The Wii U was the only system this gen I did not regret. Mario Kart 8 bitches.
Damage Control, i hate blind fanboys,WiiUnderpowwered is toast FINISHED, DEAD IN THE WATER WAITING TO BE BURIED AND FORGETTON
Lol
Look at all of these stupid trolls. They say Wii U is failing because it’s underpowered. Well, think back when it was the PS2, Xbox, and Game Cube. The Nintendo Game Cube was the most powerful yet it failed and the PS2 was the weakest and it ended up being the #1 best-selling game console of all time. The Wii was weaker than the Xbox 360 and PS3 and the Wii sold over 100 million units. That shows that when it comes to sales, power doesn’t matter. Also, just because some company releases the weakest console doesn’t make it a baby console. the ESRB doesn’t tell if it is a kids game or not. It tells what demographic the game is selling for and why. A 5 year old kid can play an m-rated game like Gears of War for example. Would that make Gears of War a kiddy game? I’m just telling you all the truth. I like Nintendo and Sony. Trolls also say that Nintendo rehashes all of their games. If they rehash games, why do some games try something new in terms of mechanics and/or story? Rehashing a game doesn’t mean releasing a game that has the same genre as its predecessor. It means releasing a game that is the exact same as its predecessor and doesn’t try anything new and they just make the graphics look different and give it a different name. Sounds like the Call of Duty series if you ask me.
