Shipments for Youkai Watch have surpassed 500,000 units in Japan, Level-5 confirmed today. As of February 16, sales come in at about 424,000 units based on Media Create data. The 3DS game has been seeing a bit of a resurgence on the sales charts as of late and it shouldn’t be too longer before actual sales (not shipments) officially hit the 500,000 mark.
