Pokken Tournament sold through 37% of its initial shipment in Japan

Pokken Tournament sold just under 70,000 in its first week in Japan. That’s based on information from Media Create, who collected data starting with the game’s launch on March 18 up through March 20. We now have more analysis from the sales tracker.

According to Media Create, Pokken Tournament sold through 36.65 percent of its initial shipment, which may seem low for a collaboration title between Pokemon and Tekken. Pokken Tournament’s near term sales future may depend on families who are familiar with Pokemon and how much this new game appeals to them during spring break.

On the topic of Wii U hardware, the Pokken Tournament bundle sold 4,000 units. The console surpassed 10,000 units in Japan for the first time in eight weeks.
