Media Create sales stats (July 9-15): Nintendo continues domination
The much anticipated Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors was bound to make a tsunami in Japan, and it did. Pretty much all copies Nintendo shipped, 305,000 of 350,000, are already wiped off the shelves and reached the hands of hungry Japanese gamers.
Media Create revealed sales for the week of July 9 to 15, and numbers show that Dragon Quest Swords is almost sold out. Other new titles didn’t receive as much success: My Housekeeping Diary sold 46,947, Kirarin Revolution: Mezase Idol Queen! at 24,573, Monster Farm DS came in with 21,914, while Mega Man ZX Advent‘s numbers are at 21,379. All of these got in the top ten software sales list, and all are DS titles.
Speaking of top titles, Nintendo dominated the list this week with all in the top ten being games for the Wii or DS. Six of these are first-party, while Square Enix, Konami, Tecmo, and Capcom made their own contributions.
In terms of hardware, Ninty consoles are still selling like hotcakes. The DS enjoys its top spot, having sold 141,982 this week. Wii, the magic wand, gained a huge boost to 109,854 thanks to the wave DQ created. Sony and the PlayStation brand follows, but the gap in numbers is more than tens of thousands.
We kid you not, and we’ve got numbers to prove it. You can find them below.
