The Media Create results are available, as is the norm for a Wednesday, and they bring more positives for Nintendo in what is generally a quiet week for releases.
Starting with software, the highest new entry in the top 20 is LEGO Worlds on PS4, but that’s in fifth place with just 11,578 sales. Monster Hunter XX (Double Cross) is still number one, while The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is showing solid momentum in second spot. Mario Sports Superstars has gone past 50,000 sales after its second week and is in third, while 1-2-Switch also secures a top five spot; the top 20 (with lifetime sales in brackets) is below.
Moving on to hardware, the Switch maintains reasonable momentum and is well out in front, though Nintendo will no doubt hope to see a bump in sales once Mario Kart 8 Deluxe lands at the end of the month. New 3DS LL (XL) holds on in second place amid general drops across the market.
A decent week for Nintendo in a quiet spell, all told – we’ll see how things go next week.
