It seems that P&D: SMB Edition will have great legs. Girls Mode is still beasting, XCX is holding pretty well and Mario Party is... well, partying. I mean, this game also has great legs!

thanks, makes sense now.

I suspect these are going to be terrible numbers all round this week, if COMG is anything to go by. Golden week really hasn't been that exciting for quite some time now.

At least Girls Mode 3 and Minecraft should be having decent legs. And hey, Tropico is still there!

Operation Babel :(. Dragon Quest WiiU dropped hard too.

The problem is some expectations that people put in Golden Week. Golden Week isn't a sale period, is a vacation period. And there's a day that is aimed to kids and they get some presents. In the Wii and DS fever days, both consoles benefited a lot from Golden Week and had amazing numbers. When the Wii and DS fever ended, Golden Week just came back where it was, a vacation period. Some people can spend its money buying games, but isn't the rule. 

Typically children's games go up during this week cause children's day (Style Savvy, Minecraft, Youkai Watch, Digimon, Mario Party...). But we shouldn't expect more than that.
