More details on Yo-kai Watch 3’s second week sales
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Yo-kai Watch 3 started out by selling 630,000 copies in its first week. In its second week, the game moved another 169,000 units. Media Create reports that the split was 85,000 copies for the Sushi version and 83,000 copies for Tempura.
Lifetime sales of Yo-kai Watch 3 now sit at around 800,000 copies. However, the sell-through rate hasn’t met the initial shipping stock (of about one million copies). When considering additional shipments, currently the RPG is estimated to have over 500,000 copies in market stock, and retailers have said that a lot of copies have been left over. On the other hand, Yo-kai Watch Busters managed to almost fully sell through its initial shipping numbers by moving a total of 915,000 copies in this same time frame (first two weeks) last year, and reached a million on its third week.
Considering the selling pace of Yo-kai Watch 3, Media Create will be looking to see whether it can achieve a total of one million copies sold by the Obon holidays. That period will take place during the middle of next month.

More details on Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns’ first week Japanese sales
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Earlier this week, Media Create data revealed that Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns sold 100,000 copies in its first week in Japan. Per usual, the sales tracker has now followed up with a report that offers more insight into the title’s debut.
Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns sold through 61.29 percent of its initial shipment. It didn’t live up to the original game in both first week sales (131,000 units) and sell-through rate (73.07 percent). On the other hand, retailers have noticed that fans who’ve picked up the game are noticeably in their 30s, so it is suggested that there is a strong core fan base that has loyally followed the series through its 20 years.
Looking at the past 3DS releases of Story of Seasons (total sales 286,000 copies) and Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning (287,000 copies), both had managed a stable sales volume. Media Create is therefore observing whether Trio of Towns will be able to keep the same sales volume in the future.
