Famitsu: Super Mario Party Jamboree Crosses 600,000 Sales

Every Thursday we share the weekly Famitsu sales charts, which tracks physical boxed game sales and hardware sales in Japan. This week’s chart covers Dec. 2 – 8, as Super Mario Party Jamboree once again holds first place, thanks to an additional 73,000 copies sold – a 30% sales surge from last week. It’s an admirable feat, but I am going to run out of Super Mario Party Jamboree images to use in the featured image collage soon!

As impressive a sales rise that may for Super Mario Party Jamboree, an even bigger one occurred for the woefully understocked Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, which thanks to a resupply of physical Nintendo Switch stock managed to sell 58,000 more units this week. That’s a 91% leap up from last week! Hopefully Square Enix will learn from this experience and more adequately stock future hyped releases, especially a Dragon Quest game in Japan.

Here’s the full Famitsu software sales chart for Dec. 2 – 8. Missed our last report where Super Mario Party Jamboree made a surprise return to #1? Check out the previous Famitsu chart right here!
