Japanese sales: Mario Kart 8 drops to 19, Wii U sales 6k

nintendo-japan

It’s been a pretty light week in Japan in terms of video game sales, despite several new titles topping the charts this week. Mario Party 10 is still holding out in the top ten, while Mario Kart 8 has dropped to number nineteen on the charts this month. The chart continues to be composed mainly of PlayStation games, peppered with a few 3DS releases that have been on the charts for a while now.

In terms of hardware, nothing new launched that could be considered a console seller and most of the consoles are still selling their average numbers. The Wii U is no different, clocking in 6k this week as it has in the past several months. While it won’t be reported in next week’s sales since it launches on a report day, Xenoblade Chronicles X’s April 29 launch in Japan is just a few weeks out. It will be interesting to see if that game serves as a console mover for the Wii U, considering it’s a hardcore Japanese RPG.
