Nintendo-related games see increased sales from the holiday period in Japan
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 1 Comment
The Obon holiday period took place in Japan last week. During that time, several Nintendo titles were boosted on the sales charts.
Yo-kai Watch 3 sold 93,000 copies for both versions between August 8 and August 14, up 144.65 percent from the previous week. It has also now managed to surpass one million copies sold. Yo-kai Watch 3 is the first title from 2016 to reach that mark.
Also due to demand during Obon, mainstay Nintendo titles experienced increased sales. For example, Kirby: Planet Robobot sold 15,000 copies. That’s a 130.40 percent jump from the previous week.
It’s also worth mentioning that the Olympics gave a boost to Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Across Wii U and 3DS, combined sales were at 18,000 copies. They sold 1.5 times more than last week.

July 2016 NPD: Software sales – Monster Hunter Generations sells 165,000 copies
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 36 Comments
Aquamarine has shared more sales data from the July 2016 NPD report. This time around, we have some specifics about software in the United States.
As previously mentioned, Minecraft was one of the top sellers with more than 175,000 copies sold at retail. Monster Hunter Generations, which debuted during the month, sold over 165,000 units. Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire were also said to be best-sellers, though data is unavailable for each. However, the two Pokemon titles were apparently right behind Monster Hunter Generations.
Finally, we do know that a couple of Nintendo-published titles sold less than 50,000 copies in their second months. Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE sold much less than 35,000 units. Kirby: Planet Robobot also lacked strong sales in its second month, having sold less than 50,000 copies.
