Super Mario 3D World sells through about 57% of its initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 6 Comments
Super Mario 3D World sold about 100,000 copies in Japan in its first week. According to Media Create, the game sold through 57.17 percent of its shipment. That means Nintendo must have shipped roughly 175,000 copies at launch – a somewhat low figure given the Mario brand, though perhaps understandable given the Wii U’s install base.

Japan: Super Mario 3D World sees lowest debut for a 3D Mario game
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 17 Comments
Super Mario 3D World’s first week sales from Japan are in. Unfortunately, they’re not too hot.
Nintendo sold just over 100,000 copies of Super Mario 3D World in Japan last week. With roughly 107,000 copies in the hands of gamers, it’s the lowest debut for a 3D Mario game.
Here’s how Super Mario 3D World stacks up to other 3D entries:
1) Super Mario Galaxy 2 – 337,569 (1,032,853 total)
2) Super Mario 3D Land – 344,698 (1,861,023 total)
3) Super Mario Sunshine – 280,610 (789,989 total)
4) Super Mario Galaxy – 256,341 (1,025,664 total)
5) Super Mario 64* – 162,113 (1,639,914 total)
6) Super Mario 64 DS* – 120,062 (1,231,535 total)
7) Super Mario 3D World – 106,967
* Launch title
Of course, there are some things to consider here, such as the Wii U’s very low install base. Mario 3D World will also likely be one of Nintendo’s titles that continues to sell continuously over the next few years.

Japan: Call of Duty: Ghosts sees low debut on Wii U, but still a bit better than Rayman and Sonic
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
Call of Duty: Ghosts launched in Japan last week. How’d the Wii U version do? Not too well, though it did do slightly better than other prominent Wii U titles.
Sales reported by Dengeki (tracked by ASCII Works) indicate that the game sold 2,508 units in its first few days on the market. Interestingly, that’s better the debuts of both Rayman Legends and Sonic Lost World.

Monster Hunter 4 sales surpass three million in Japan
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Monster Hunter 4 has now sold over three million copies in Japan. The game is selling at a rate of roughly 40,000 copies each week.
Famitsu wrote in its latest issue:
“With the tenth anniversary of the franchise approaching, 2014 should be an even more exciting year for MH than ever before. MH4 continues to generate a lot of attention in the market, and we can expect sales to continue going forward. Going into the holiday season, the newly-improved MH4 will likely have even more of a performance to show us.”
I’m assuming the latest news coming from Famitsu is different from Capcom’s announcement last month. The publisher had announced that Monster Hunter 4 shipments had exceeded three million. Famitsu’s article seems to apply to actual sales rather than shipments.
