Rhythm Heaven: The Best Plus was the best-selling game in Japan during the week of June 8. It moved 158,000 copies, and Media Create reveals that it sold through 81.56 percent of its initial shipment.

The Japanese sales tracker offers up a couple of reasons for Rhythm Heaven 3DS’s success. Commercials probably helped things, and because it’s a compilation of the series’ previous installments, dedicated fans held it in high demand.

3DS hardware as a whole – including the new Pearl White color – sold 26,000 units. This was an increase of 44.05 percent. While many individual hardware have been on the decline since last week, 3DS has driven the hardware market to an increase compared to last week, just like the sales of software increased from last week.
