Yokai watch 2 took the 1st place in its week of release, like its predecessor did last year.
In case you don't know it, yw frachise ( I don't mean only the video game ;) ) has been an big success in France...
The game has sold 700k ( including digital sales ) in Europe as of 2016, of which the 220k (no digital sales ) are from France. Yokai watch was the 15th best selling game in France for 2016, in a chart where multiplafrom games sales are combined...
In addition, France isn't the only european market were it has perfom extremely well
It has sold 100k ( digital sales not included ) in Spain and was the 8th best selling game of 2016, again in a chart where multiplaform games sales are combined...
Given the size of the spanish market regarding core video games business compared to France, YW seems like a bigger success there.
Note: Yokai watch has high digital sales at least in France and Spain, due to the existence of 2DS bundle that contains a digital code! YW pushed many of theose 2DSes...
YW did fairly well in Germany and Italy too...
Without a surprise to be honest, the game is an ultra flop in the UK though ( its sales in 2016 were half of those in Spain, imagine ...), yw2 opened at 35th in software weekly sales charts in the UK...
Let's see if YW will repeat its vast success in Spain, as it currently does in France.
