In the week leading up to the string of Japanese national holidays known as "Golden Week," Nintendo is doing what it almost always does in festive seasons: sell more games than anyone else. These charts come via Dengeki and give data for April 27 - May 3.
First up, Hardware: 3DS - 26,976
Wii U - 21,016
PS4 - 20,668
Vita - 15,613
PS3 - 4,203
Xbox 1 - 197 That's not super high, but keep in mind that the bigger boost is expected next week, when the much bigger part of Golden Week will be reflected on the chart. Here's how the software looked: 1. (3DS) Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition - 178,525
2. (WIU) Dragon Quest X - 89,513
3. (WIU) Xenoblade Chronicles X - 86,119

8. (PSV) How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend: Blessing Flowers - 10,622
9. (PSV) To Heart 2: Dungeon Travelers - 10,339
10. (PSV) New Tokyo Legacy: Operation Babel - 8,471
11. (WIU) Mario Party 10 - 7,970
12. (PS4) Dying Light - 7,367
13. (3DS) Yo-kai Watch 2 - 6,811
14. (3DS) Ansatsu Kyoushitsu: Korosensei Daihouimou!! - 6,400
15. (WIU) Mario Kart 8 - 5,984
16. (3DS) Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS - 5,844
17. (PS3) One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 - 4,800
18. (PS4) Bloodborne - 4,250
19. (PS3) BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Extend - 4,188
20. (PS4) Tropico 5 - 3,772 And if we count up all new software sold, stretching even beyond the top 20, we get figures that look like this: 3DS - 335,791
Wii U - 204,676
Vita - 87,892
PS3 - 52,717
PS4 - 51,981
PSP - 4,538
