Super Mario Maker doubles Wii U sales in Japan

Sales numbers for last week in Japan are available now and Super Mario Maker swept to the top of the charts with around 138k sold last week. This number also doubled Wii U hardware sales, bringing the number for the week up to 20k and giving it the second spot on the hardware list. It still didn’t beat out the Nintendo 3DS for the top of the hardware charts, but several recently released 3DS titles are likely the reason.

Other Wii U titles that appear in the charts are Splatoon, sitting in the eighth spot, while Mario Kart 8 sits at number 11. All the way down at number 20 on the list is Yoshi’s Woolly World, a title that hasn’t been in the top twenty for a few weeks now.
