The latest chart results have been released out of Japan and bring a mix of good and middling news for Nintendo.

To begin with software, the results bring us the début of Yoshi's Woolly World on Wii U, and its impact has been fairly underwhelming; the title sold 31,158 units in its first week. The runaway leader in the charts is still Yo-Kai Watch Busters, which accumulated an impressive number of second week sales to take its early total beyond 900,000; The Great Ace Attorney has now passed 150,000 sales, too. Results are below with lifetime sales in brackets.

Moving onto hardware sales, there's little to report for Nintendo's systems. The 3DS sees a dip on all but the original model, with the New 3DS LL (XL) falling behind the PS4 following its Batman-related boost; Nintendo's portable is still top if the various models are combined. The Wii U saw an increase of just 239 units, so while it's still hovering nicely in five figures, Good-Feel's excellent Yoshi's Woolly World had minimal impact.

  1. PlayStation 4 – 24,266 (15,779)
  2. New 3DS LL – 19,432 (21,069)
  3. PlayStation Vita – 13,190 (13,632)
  4. Wii U – 11,028 (10,789)
  5. New 3DS – 5,437 (5,551)
  6. PlayStation 3 – 2,947 (2,979)
  7. 3DS – 1,376 (1,184)
  8. 3DS LL – 726 (899)
  9. PlayStation Vita TV – 618 (613)
  10. Xbox One – 242 (149)

That's it for another week of Media Create chart results; victory lattes are courtesy of Level-5 and its Yo-Kai Watch franchise, once again.
