Japan: 3DS Sells 33k And Wii U Sells 7k

This week’s Media Create sales are now in from Japan. Keeping its lead at the top of the software chart is Dragon Quest Heroes for the PlayStation 3, but hot on its heels at 2 is new 3DS release Etrian Mystery Dungeon. The Etrian Odyssey spin-off, which pits players in various dungeons with turn-based combat, almost topples its competition with 65k units sold. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D also continues to sell well, and is joined by New Prince of Tennis: Go to the Top for the Nintendo 3DS to round out the top 5.

Regards to hardware, the 3DS is once again second best to the PlayStation 4, which is boosted by sales of Dragon Quest Heroes. However, total sales for Nintendo’s handheld come out on top with nearly 34k in sales. Wii U sales remain steady at 7k, though manage to creep up slightly this week. Below you’ll find the top 20 best-selling software in Japan, with the hardware chart following.
