Nintendo’s Japanese Sales Still Going Strong
June 19 2012 by Jared Ettinger
While Nintendo’s sales in the US haven’t been up to par, they continue to dominate in their home country. According to a statistics chart by Enterbrain and Famitsu, Nintendo scored 27.8% of all software revenues in May. Its three biggest sellers were Mario Party 9, Fire Emblem: Awakening, and Mario Tennis Open.Capcom was a close second with 26.8%, as their new title Dragon’s Dogma has become increasingly popular among Japanese gamers. None of the other leading Japanese companies did nearly as well: Namco Bandai got 12.2% of revenues, Konami had 4.3%, and Square Enix had 3%.
It should also be noted that Nintendo did just as successfully in April. Hopefully this is a trend that will continue through the summer and beyond. Who knows- once bigger titles are released, maybe American sales will catch up?
Here is the Famitsu chart showing Nintendo’s sales:
