We now know which games where the best-selling titles in Japan last week courtesy of Media Create. The number one title was Shin Megami Tensei IV: Final by quite a margin fending off the likes of Dragon Quest Builders on a number of platforms. Wii U sales this week have been poor, but it could have something to do with the reported stock problems as there’s a couple of Wii U games in the top ten. Anyway, here’s the best-selling software and hardware this week in Japan.

83%… Show us the proper numbers, Quadradus!
Are you taking classes with Pachter or what?

LOL!
We don’t know if there will be a handheld and console sold separately. It’s all rumors.
-||That’s why I said 83% probability, I’m not a stupid slave||-
Two weeks in a row below 4000. Yikes. It is possible that this is because of the stock supply, but I have my doubts on that.
The stocks weren’t replenished yet?
Why Nintendo is taking that long to fix this issue?
Geez…
It is the stock issue, most Japanese retailers don’t expect a Wii U restock till March
Is Nintendo trying to create an artificial demand for the Wii U?
No, it sold more than they expected over the holidays.
Thanks, I see, makes sense.
This site uses strange rounding. It should say 4K. It is only 67 from being 4K.
If there was a demand for more than 3,933 consoles, that demand would have been met at a higher point, not at a similar point to last week, shortage or not. If the shortage was the case we would have likely seen even less this week than last week as they gradually dwindled down in stock, but staying where it is, very close to the consistent 4K it held on a weekly basis a few months ago, simply says that the demand itself has hit a shortage, not the consoles.
It is a shortage in stock. All major Japanese retailers do not have any stock of Wii Us. The stock being sold is from smaller stores with stock remaining.
That sweet sweet Valkyria Chronicles Remaster :l I want it.
Consoles are completely dead in japan. At least they have the right idea about gaming. It’s getting boring.
Here’s to another year of no wii u games unless you like a hd remaster and a star fox game that looks like it was made on the super nintendo. I hope we get some new zelda u info before we die of old age, cheers (raises glass).
Don’t forget about Pokken though, I think I’m actually looking forward to that even more than starfox now
I wonder when lost rever will be available. People have forgot about that game from capcom.
I think it was Bandai Namco but yeah I did forget about that lol. I think it came out in Japan at the end of last year, I have no idea when US or UK get it though
Correct. Thank you.
Also, I want DQ Builders so bad. A local game shop here has it as an import but I want to be able read stuff in english :(
~*If it’s indeed stock issues, thanks, Nintendo. It says alot about how you actually feel about the Wii U & think it’s a sinking ship just like others, like me, believe it to be. Shame because I was really hoping for the Wii U to be the next Gamecube. Instead, it’s the next Dreamcast.*~
