Girls Mode 3 expected to be a longterm seller for Nintendo in Japan

Girls Mode 3 sold 55,000 copies in its first week in Japan, based on Media Create data. That may not seem like much, but the title is expected to perform well in the longterm.

The last entry in the series, Style Savvy: Trendsetters, moved 66,000 copies in its first week. Media Create points out that the franchise has a long tail for sales, as Trendsetters has sold 381,000 copies in Japan. That’s roughly six times the sales of the first week. While a simple comparison can’t be made because the sales times differ, if Girls Mode 3 keeps its sales close to that of Trendsetters, over 300,000 lifetime sales could be expected.

Media Create also mentions that it will be worth paying attention to the sales of Girls Mode 3 during Golden Week. During this Japanese holiday, game sales tend to rise.
