It’s been an eventful week in Japan from December 15th to the 21st as Media Create software sales have rolled in. Yokai Watch 2 continues its hot run, the latest Pokemon titles have surpassed two million units in sales and Final Fantasy Explorers had a strong debut.

Yokai Watch 2: Shinuchi managed to sell 532,724 units this week, bringing its total lifetime sales to 1,776,895. Combined with sales of Yokai Watch 2: Ganso/Honke, which sold 39,223 units this week and averaged 2.99 million units sold thus far, it’s not hard to see how successful the franchise has become.

Meanwhile, Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire sold 167,534 units this week making the lifetime sales 2,118,015 units. Final Fantasy Explorers debuted with a strong 161,197 units sold, followed by Super Smash Bro. on the Wii U with 78,927 units (385,460 units over its lifetime) and on the 3DS with 74,226 units (1,910,078 units over its lifetime).
