Japan: Nintendo 3DS Sells 120K And Wii U Sells 53K

This week’s Japanese sales figures are now in courtesy of Media Create. It’s been a good week for both Capcom and Nintendo as Monster Hunter X continues to make its mark at the top of the charts shifting impressive numbers. Now the holiday season is over Wii U hardware sales have dropped, but interestingly PlayStation 4 hardware sales have increased. This could well be do with various sales at retailers, but I can’t be sure. Anyway, here’s the best-selling games this week in Japan.
