Japan Charts: Wii gets a massive bump due to Dragon Quest X

Posted By | On 08th, Aug. 2012

It’s time for yet another Media Create Sales chart and the surprising thing here is that the Wii U has gotten a massive boost due to Dragon Quest X. The 3DS as usual tops the hardware sales chart with a massive 120k units shifted.

The Wii is at 40k and can be termed as a big boost. Dragon Quest X sold 370k units and has surprisingly done very well considering the stage the Wii is in now.

The PS Vita continues its decline and has sold 8000 units this week, which is totally disastrous considering how well the 3DS sold.
