Mario Party: The Top 100 sold through 60% of its initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Mario Party: The Top 100 debuted in Japan on December 28. Through December 31, it moved a little over 50,000 copies. Dengeki further adds that the game sold through roughly 60% of its initial shipment.
We also know that Mario Party: The Top 100 sold another 50,000 copies in its second week, so sales remained very steady. Part of that is likely due to carryover from the holidays. Even so, for the kind of game it is, Nintendo is likely pleased with how it’s selling thus far.
