Japanese sales: 3DS dominates this week, Splatoon still strong

Media Create sales for this week in Japan are out and the new Yokai Watch Busters spin-off has taken the top spot on the charts. Fire Emblem Fates took a backseat in third place, but sales are still strong with nearly 30k sold this week. Splatoon managed to maintain its spot in the top five, though it’s starting to slip down the charts. Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. still feature in the top 20, however. Full stats below.
