Pikachu Outsells Eevee 55:45

From the opening three day sales in Japan, Pocket Monsters: Let’s Go! Pikachu/Eevee will be the best-selling game with Pikachu out-selling Eevee at all three early trackers. The ratio at GEO (with 1,853 outlets across Japan although only data collated from around 1,200 stores) is 55:45 with sales described as “strong” for the opening week. The game received 518 points in total at COMG! (14 stores across Japan) and occupies four of the top five positions (inclusive of the Monster Ball Sets). Dairantou Smash Bros. SPECIAL is currently 565 points for preorders alone so looks to be the bigger of the two games. TSUTAYA rankings (1,461 stores across Japan) have the game occupying all four top positions. The full Media Create charts with first week numbers should be here at 22:00 JST on 21 November.

Octopath Traveler Set To Top The Charts 

With Square-Enix commenting on OCTOPATH TRAVELER selling out across Japan, it looks like the game is guaranteed the top spot in Japan out-selling Susume! Kinopio Taichou (Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker) on COMG! and Tsutaya. The game is currently number two on the eShop, behind Minecraft.
