Japanese sales – Child of Light makes the top ten, 3DS dominating again

Wii U sales

This week’s sales for Japan are in from Media Create and it’s surprising to see Child of Light, a western-made RPG by Ubisoft gracing the top ten list in not one, but two spots. The unfortunate side of that is that it’s for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 versions of the game. Child of Light on the Wii U did not crack the top 20 list at all.

Despite that, sales for the Nintendo 3DS continue to skyrocket, as both Kirby Triple Deluxe and Mario Golf: World Tour perform well. Topping the list is Yokai Watch, which has maintained that spot for several weeks running. Japan seems to be enamored with the NES Remix series as well, as a collection of both NES Remix 1 & 2 managed to claim the eighth spot in the list for the top ten. The Wii u also saw a nice jump in sales from the previous week, bringing it back up to its average of 8k consoles a week.
