Japan: Nintendo Switch Sells 41K And Nintendo 3DS Sells 25K

It is Wednesday which means it is time to see how video game software and hardware performed in Japan. It had admittedly been a slow week with only two new releases which were LEGO Worlds for the PlayStation 4 and Kawaii Pet to Kurasou! Wan Nyan & Mini Mini Animal for Nintendo 3DS. With regards to hardware it was the Nintendo Switch which was once again the best-seller, easily beating the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation 4. Here’s the best-selling software and hardware this week in Japan.

    Well, we are still far from Mario Kart, next week should be even less exciting for the Nintendo Switch in Japan. Then an earthquake will eventually come. Not like Monster Hunter XX, definitely. Not even half.

      Another Musou game with crossovers!? *faints* My poor wallet. I don’t think it can take much more punishment from the PS4 side of things.

      Damn it! That was supposed to be a comment directed at the article! Must have forgot to close out the reply box to you. Ugh! Need an edit & delete button for commenters, WordPress!

      No it’s not a runaway hit at this rate it’ll hit 15 million in four years and that’s including a couple of spikes they’re going to have to do better than this if they want to beat GameCube sales numbers

        It would be nice to have sales data from other regions though it would also be nice if in tendo stock was not an issue.

        If they launch a Pokemon game on switch along with Mario and the fall we should see some larger numbers in a few months

    A month and a half later and this thing is still a hit. I love to see the haters comment with a fit. Now get off your high horse and sit and admit the Switch is opposite of being in the pit.
