Only 3DS Games Sold Over One Million Copies in Japan in 2013 Emphasizes the value of the Japanese market to Nintendo While Nintendo may have endured some disappointment in hitting its own high targets for 3DS in the past 12-18 months, positive statistics do nevertheless keep coming for the portable system — especially in Japan. Not long ago we saw 3DS titles dominate the charts for the first six months of the year in the country. Those half year results show that 2014 could be rather similar to 2013, in terms of 3DS titles leading the way as the biggest selling games over the whole year. A compilation of the top-selling games for last year show that only games on Nintendo's portable enjoyed sales in excess of a million in Japan: 1. [3DS] Monster Hunter 4 — 3,110,240 2. [3DS] Pokémon X — 1,967,479 3. [3DS] Pokémon Y — 1,759,117 4. [3DS] Animal Crossing: New Leaf — 1,628,044 5. [3DS] Tomodachi Life — 1,612,037 6. [3DS] Dragon Quest VII: Fighters of Eden — 1,237,825 7. [3DS] Puzzle & Dragons Z — 1,005,658 8. [3DS] Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon — 1,003,188 9. [PS3] Grand Theft Auto V — 649,091 10. [PS3] JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle — 483,378 In 2014 they could potentially stay the same, too, with Monster Hunter 4 G and Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arriving later this year and likely to perform rather well, so expect this trend to continue.

I think Nintendo needs to realize what they're doing wrong, they're getting great sales like this but losing money... Rethink your strategy Nintendo. Get smart.
