The three versions did 1.9M combined physical. It wasn’t great, but the 3DS hasn’t been doing so hot with software lately in Japan and their hardware numbers are pretty low. US/UM only did 1.6M (granted they’re basically “complete” versions of the previous entry), but it goes to show how quickly 3DS software is in decline and show that Yokai Watch isn’t in quite as dire a situation as some make it out to be.
They always release screenshots of the game first in CoroCoro Magazine and we’ll probably get some footage from Japanese commercials sometime in May. Yokai Watch has never gotten its own direct and the localizations are usually just a quick segment since Nintendo published them previously.

2.2m so far...
You ignore the 300k packs sold containing both of the games.

I completely forgot about them - I was just using the latest chart. Still, 2.2M for the newest Pokemon game in Japan is fantastic, but it’s far below the abilities of the series and shows how the software for the 3DS is already dying a pretty natural death. I think we’ll see much better returns when these series show up on the Switch (or at least a much slower rate of decline for Yokai Watch).
