Japan sees lowest gaming sales since 2001
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 17 Comments
Gaming sales in Japan were not very good last week – so much so that they’re the worst sales since 2001.
Based on the latest Media Create data, just 235,000 video games were sold between May 11 and May 17. Along with it being a sixty percent drop compared to the previous week, it’s also a 61.93 percent drop compared to the same week last year.
One part of the problem is that gaming sales tend to slow down following Golden Week. Media Create also points out that there was a total lack of new titles. Instead, a bunch of remastered and reworked games were released.
Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition is selling a bit slowly as well. Sales are up to 232,683 copies, but it has only sold through 59.19 percent of its initial shipment.
