Japan: Here’s This Week’s Charts

It’s Wednesday which means it is time to find out how the latest video games and consoles sold in Japan, thanks to Media Create. There were a few big releases in Japan this week including Kingdom Hearts Final Chapter Prologue which saw a number of Nintendo 3DS titles knocked down a few places. On the hardware side, Wii U sales tumbled probably due to the Nintendo Switch reveal and the announcement of the launch date which is March 3rd. Here’s the best-selling software and hardware in Japan this week.
