New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe Overtakes Kingdom Hearts 3 In Latest Media Create Charts

Media Create has released the data for video game software and hardware sales in Japan for the week ending February 10. Kingdom Hearts 3, which had been topping the sales charts for the last couple of weeks, has been pushed down to second place, having sold over 35,000 units. It has been overtaken by New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, which had enjoyed a good run at the top of its own when it launched earlier in January. It sold over 38,000 units this week. 

Resident Evil 2 has also dropped in rankings. After occupying the second position for a couple of weeks, the survival horror title now sits in the fourth position, with over 22,000 units sold. Above it, in third place, is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which moved over 31,000 copies in the week. Pokemon Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! are also continuing to chart high, occupying the fifth spot this week with over 17,000 units sold in total. 

On the hardware front, the scene looks pretty much the same as last week. The Nintendo Switch was the highest selling system for the week, moving over 61,000 units. The PS4 sold a total of nearly 20,000 units (base model and PS4 Pro sales combined).
