 All right folks the sales charts are in for Japan the media create sales from week 29 to 2018 from July 16th through July 22nd and the Nintendo switch owns the top seven spots in the chart Nintendo based systems actually with games on the top 13 spots or top 12 sorry top 12 spots on the chart and what I find interesting about this is Is that last week's private prior number one game autopad traveler that moved Oh 110,000 units or so during this launch week had a massive drop off an 80 drop off in the second week of sales Down to 22,438 which puts it at the number two spot now What we have heard is that autopad travelers sold through 90 of its initial launch stock And we heard they were not going to be able to restock the game fully in japan Well, guess what until august so I drop off in week two I suppose was suspected because they only had so many copies left out there to even buy and while they did put out A mini restock of it during the second week We heard that restock was practically sold out before the stores even opened So yeah, I expect maybe even another drop off in week three until they can get a bigger You know 100,000 unit style restock in sometime in august and at that point We might see autopad traveler get a massive bump in sales I would hate to see this game drop off a cliff just because people can't buy it at this point It has sold 132,550 units in japan and we would like to see it, you know Continue to climb because I I'm not going to say autopad traveler is perfect. I haven't made a video about it yet I want to make a video about it soon. I'm not going to say autopad traveler is perfect But games like this need to you know The demand for these games needs to be met That way developers like square enix and even nintendo themselves can see the clear demand For these kind of games that the industry seems to have thrown out and said we don't want so Yes, let's get a restock. Let's see what this game can really sell that being said Let's go over the rest of the charts you know So what debuted at number one was also a game for nintendo switch by bandai namco called teco No, tetsujin drum and fun. It debuted with 69,984 units at the number one spot Pretty good debut for that game At number three. Splatoon 2 is holding strong It showed a seven percent growth week on week at 21,913 units for those wondering there are 2,469,695 Splatoon 2 Copies sold in japan at the number four spot is captain toad treasure tracker, which did see a 51 drop Pretty typical It dropped down to 20,547 in its second week for a grand total of 62,399 at number five We have mario tennis aces which saw a 10 drop to 19,709 giving it a grand total of 247,161 units at number six. We have the nintendo switch version of minecraft physical copies 16,265 sold That's an eight percent growth week on week for a total of 138,051 units at the number seven spot It was also at the number seven spot last week just holding you know holding steady is mario kart eight deluxe It sold 13,435, which is an 18 bump So it is now sitting at 1,641,109 units at the number eight spot is pokemon ultra sun and ultra moon continuing to chug along Saw a six percent growth week on week at 7,554 units to sell 1,676,067 units At the number nine spot is captain toad treasure tracker For the 3ds That saw a 51 drop off as well just like the switch version down to 7,188 to move 21,746. Does this mean the 3ds is dead? 3ds might be dead in japan anyways at the number 10 spot is Breath of the wild a launch game still sitting in the top 10 Was it number 10 that last week holds fast at number 10 this week? 8 bump in sales to 7,173 for a grand total of 1,050,891 Man best selling game of all time for zelda in in japan. That would get wow Anyways at number 11. We have kirby star allies They sold it's actually saw four percent bump in sales and it sold 6,407 units last week for a grand total of 566,171 Super mario odyssey is sitting at number 12 And that sold 5,695 units a 14 growth for a grand total of 1,770 to 1,133 units Then we have a special four titles to kind of break up the streak of nintendo games And then it just goes right back to the nintendo games all over again after detroit became human At number 14. We have animal crossing new leaf Welcome amiibo Edition apparently at sold 4,354 for grand total of 425,839 At number 15. We saw nintendo label toy com one. This is actually a big jump because it was at number 21 the week prior Somehow must have got some sort of sales bump and is now at number 15 The variety kit is the most popular of the nintendo label toy cons It sold 3,842 units for a grand total of 205,809 At number 16. We have dunkey con tropical freeze for the nintendo switch It saw a 7 drop off to 3,378 for a grand total of 193,709 Probably going to move you know between the 220 230 In terms of grand total once they're done selling that Followed by a slew of play station four games You got you know at number 17, 18, 19 or three different play station four games And then it rounds out at number 20 with mario kart 7 for nintendo 30s moving 2614 If you're actually wondering how well mario kart 7 sold on 3ds in japan it moved 2,903,441 units So nearly 3 million very impressive indeed For if you didn't understand that there are 12 nintendo switch games in the top 20 for 3ds for play station four all right, so Next up we also get a hardware update for sales sales grew again So last week we saw sales grow by about 7,000 units to move to 50,239 for nintendo switch This week we saw sales grow to 53,745 Technically, this is about 45,000 less than at the same week last year But What I don't know we didn't have a major release So like a major release is going to bump sales. I do think what's nice is that for two weeks in a row There's been two Desired games releasing on switch and if this trend keeps continuing I think that 53,000 numbers just going to continue to grow every single week We could be back over 100,000 units before the holidays that would be that would be special especially if it happens before pokemon and before Super smash bros is here anyways Year to date it has sold 1,365,000 units 361 at the end there That is a little bit ahead of last year's pace although it's of note obviously last year didn't launch till march So there's a couple extra months of data in there for switch a lifetime to date in japan This is just japan We're at about a year and a half or so of this being on the market nintendo switch has sold 4,677,980 units The playstation 4 for reference is about 2.3 million Ahead of that so nintendo very well could catch and overtake the playstation 4 Within a year at this current rate and who really knows if and when it will catch the 3ds Which you know 24 million units just crazy numbers It's definitely going to pass the vita lifetime sales maybe even before the end of the year And uh, well does anyone even pay attention to xbox it is notable that xbox did see a bump in sales this week Pretty big bump. They sold 79 units last week to 765 so That's that's one of the biggest growth periods. I've actually seen for xbox it almost moved 1,000 units. That's wow good for them um Anyways, uh 3ds itself the total 3ds family of systems sold 11,577, which was a 4,000 increase I'm not sure why there was an increase. I don't recall any major 3ds games coming out But it's only 4,000 units about the same increase that switch got so There you go, uh playstation 4 was obviously at number 2 It saw a little bit of growth as well going from 17,000 point 17.5 thousand the week before to 20 309 So there you go sales on the whole seemed to be up just across the board even playstation vita had a hundred more 165 more units sold in the prior week. So all very interesting stuff. What does it mean? Not a whole lot It's just japan But it does mean the switches continuing to at least maintain its momentum The big thing I feel like for nintendo at least until they get some really big heavy-heading titles out like pokemon and smash or dare I say an animal crossing game Animal crossing is like still like an offshoot of it is telling still well on on 3ds like I what anyways, I don't even know if japan could handle A year that has pokemon smash and animal crossing in it. I I don't even know if they're uh Their consumer base can handle that that it would be maybe a record-breaking sales here for switch but The interesting thing here is that switches momentum is not slowing down Is consistently sold between 40 and 50 thousand units every single week since it's debuted it it has sold more Obviously we've seen peaks, you know over 100,000 and stuff like that But reality is that it just doesn't seem to ever dip below 40,000 regardless of the lack of games Or the games that do come out that aren't big hitters. So I'm just thrilled. I can't wait to see where switch sales grow from here All I know is it's nice that we get these week-to-week numbers in japan. I I wish I wish the npd Or some other organization would provide week-to-week sales here in the united states and in canada and mexico It would be very interesting to see what week-to-week sales are in north america instead now We don't even get sales numbers anymore, but yet in japan. We do I wish this would be a thing We even get numbers for the uk. It just would be nice if the united states and north america on the whole would just adapt a A system that would allow us to have these weekly sales Anyways, uh, you guys let me know what you think about all these sales down in the comments below I'm Nathaniel over jf from the center prime and if you like this video You know what to do and if you dislike the video hit that dislike button Subscribe for more content and I'll catch you in the next one
