Super Mario Maker moved 150,000 units in its first week in Japan. According to sales tracker Media Create, the game sold through 56.03 percent of its initial shipment.

Media Create heard from store owners that many people who purchased Super Mario Maker were adults. This is likely because they are the ones who would have grown up playing Mario.

Also, there were hardware bundles that included the game (both types together sold 12,000 units), leading to a nearly double increase in Wii U sales from last week (204.18 percent), exceeding sales from the first week of June. Since the Super Mario Maker Wii U bundle will soon be replacing the Mario Kart 8 edition, Media Create believes this should increase long term sales during the coming end of year season.
