Half of the Top 10 is made of games released in 2017, starting with Splatoon 2 (the only remaining million-seller in the Top 10). It’s already sold pretty well on the Nintendo eShop since 2017, so it definitely would not be surprising if total sales were nearing 1 million units as of writing. Unfortunately, it looks like reaching 1 million units at retail alone is going to be a bit difficult (it’s a different story if you factor in digital sales).įinally, Minecraft sold 525 045 units at retail in 2018, making it the 9th best-selling game of the year. It’s a pretty good performance, in line with previous entries in the series. Kirby Star Allies was released in March, and went on to sell about 664 815 units at retail alone in 2018 (making it the 7th best-selling game of the year). As of writing, it’s already sold over 1 million units, and the question is now whether it will reach 2 million units or not (it will most likely depend on when the next entry in the series is released). Ultimate was the best-selling game, with 2 360 655 units sold in a few weeks: that’s more than the games ranked #2 and #3 combined! And the game ranked #3 is none other than Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! / Let’s Go, Eevee, which sold 1 253 677 units: not the most impressive performance for a Pokémon game, but this isn’t your regular Pokémon game after all.Īs for Super Mario Party, it was the 6th best-selling game in Japan with 764 853 units sold at retail alone. That’s one more week compared to 2017, which had 53 weeks instead of the usual 52 (something to keep in mind when comparing 2018 data with 2017).
Famitsu have shared another report for video games sales in 2018 in Japan, covering the period going from January 1st to December 30th.
