Media Create sales for Week 7, 2016 (Feb. 15 – 21) [Top 50]
Update: we just added the full Top 50!
***
During Week 7, several games came out in Japan, but only one of them was for the Nintendo 3DS: Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympics. It had a rather decent debut (in line with the previous entries on hanhelds), with 41 736 units sold during the first four days. According to Famitsu, the sellthrough ratio is about 60-80%, which means the game sold pretty much according to expectations.
Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympics could very well become the Nintendo 3DS’s next evergreen seller, but we will have to wait a bit before finding out. The actual Rio 2016 Olympics, this summer, should have a pretty positive impact on sales.
As for Shin Megami Tensei IV Final, it had a pretty standard second week for a JRPG with a 85% drop in sales. It sold 14 408 additional units, bringing the total to over 100 000 units (110 757 units). Unfortunately, JRPG rarely sell on long periods of time (unlike Nintendo’s infamous evergreen titles), so it will have to crawl in order to reach 150 000 units sold LTD.
Week 7 was a pretty slow week overall, if you don’t take into account the new entries. Sales are down for pretty much all games on Nintendo platforms: Splatoon (9 506 units sold, -14%), Yo-kai Watch Busters (7 669 units sold, -18%), Monster Hunter X (7 660 units sold, -14%), and Monster Strike (5 083 units, -800 205 units) are all down Week on Week.
There’s one exception: Super Mario Maker, which saw its sales rise by 25% (with 6 477 units sold): this is due to retailers getting new shipments of the Super Mario Maker Premium Pack. Since there’s still severe shortages, players are buying whatever pack is available: the Super Mario Maker bundle was the only one to get new shipments, so it’s the one players bought.
Finally, we have Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, which sold 7 596 additional units. This brings the total to 93 879, which means the game will reach 100 000 units sold in Early March at the latest.
Hardware-wise, things are not looking too hot for Nintendo at the moment. First: the Nintendo 3DS. It sold 23 892 units during Week 7, which is roughly 4 000 units less than during Week 6. It looks like the lack of major releases and the anticipation for the Nintendo 2DS + Pokémon Red / Green / Blue / Yellow bundles have been hurting its sales.
Of course, this is also due to the aging Nintendo 3DS, which will celebrate its 5th anniversary in a couple of minutes in Japan. Compared to 2015, sales have been down by a significant margin so far, in 2016. However, the Nintendo 2DS + Pokémon Red / Green / Blue / Yellow bundles next week should have a pretty positive impact on sales, though it remains to be seen how long it will last. Since the bundles are limited, it’s quite likely sales will drop again pretty fast.
As for the Wii U, its sales are surprisingly stable for a console that’s become virtually impossible to find in many stores. This is due to the new shipments for the Super Mario Maker Premium Pack, as seen and explained with the Super Mario Maker software sales above. Unfortunately, we still don’t know when Nintendo will ship new Wii U units. One thing’s for sure: retailers are not really happy with the current situation, and especially Nintendo’s silence.
