More details on Yo-kai Watch 3’s sales debut in Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Both versions of Yo-kai Watch 3 sold a total of 632,000 copies in its first week (July 16 and July 17). Media Create now reports that they sold through 63.07 percent of the initial shipment.
Unsurprisingly, Yo-kai Watch 3 obtained the highest first week sales of all games released so far since the start of the year. However, the series saw a big decline in comparison to the last entry. Yo-kai Watch 2, which debuted in July 2014, experienced first week sales of 1,317,000 copies with a 92.16 percent sell-through rate. It also did not manage to match the spin-off title Yo-kai Watch Busters. That game arrived in July 25 with 694,000 copies sold in its first week and a 73.60 percent sell-through rate.
On the hardware front, New 3DS sales sold 136.68 percent when compared to last week. Since Yo-kai Watch 3 connects with NFC and related toys, it is thought that this has caused an urge in the demand to trade off from the old 3DS.
