This week’s Media Create charts are now available, indicating software and hardware sales in Japan for the past week. To the surprise of none, Capcom’s Monster Hunter X sold 65,227 units with total lifetime sales of 2,587,086 units.

Monster Strike was still in second place with 38,795 units this week (lifetime sales of 738,231 units) while Splatoon sold 28,945 with a total of 1,182,934 units sold since its release date. Super Mario Maker has also been doing good numbers with 25,854 units sold this week, bringing its total sales to 752,739 units.

For the PS Vita, there was Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition selling 23,161 units (607,878 units for its lifetime) and Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs Force selling 13,643 units (lifetime sales of 121,406 units). Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam was in tenth place with 9,497 units sold with the total lifetime sales of 207,812 units. Considering that it released in December, it’s interesting to see it so low in the charts. What are your thoughts on this week’s sales? Let us know in the comments.

After the reported success of the PlayStation Vita and Nintendo Wii U, especially the latter which saw Super Mario Maker and Splatoon average more than 60K units each, Media Create’s charts revealed the best-selling games and consoles for the week past in Japan.

Monster Hunter X is on top with 149,587 units sold followed by Monster Strike with 140,479 units (and no, there’s no relation between the two). Super Mario Maker sold 68,523 units on the Wii U while Splatoon sold 60,991 units for the week. Yo-Kai Watch Busters: Akaneko-dan/Shiroinu-tai on the 3DS managed to sell 56,819 units this week.
