A new IP to sell 100k is incredible. Japan Sales are different.

I think This generation only like 40 games are over 300k. 30 of them are probably on 3DS

Probably true.

Wii U: MK8 1m, Smash 600k, Wii Party U 800k, NSMBU 1.24m, SM3DW 640k

PS4: Knack 400k, Dragon Quest Heroes 330k

Vita: Freedom Wars 310k, P4G 330k, God Eater 2 440k, GE2: RB 310k, Minecraft ~450k

Congratulation Youkai!
Freedom Wars did good for a new IP. If we see a sequel to Freedom Wars in the future it could do 500k+.
We shouldn't count Knack. Bundled games shouldn't be tracked as sold imo.

What about Minecraft: Playstation Vita Edition? It is the best selling Vita game (sold something around 450k digital and retail).

Then that can be added. I didn't know about its digital sales.

could we tell the total sales of Knack outside the bundle? because Splatoon has a bundle as well. Not sure if it includes bundles or not.

Level 5 domination.

Will kancolle make it to the list ? It's technically not a new IP.

Knack was not sold separately at the launch of the PS4, so each of those 400k sales is from the bundle. I believe it was sold separately way down the line, but I think sales were very, very little.

Splatoon doesn't have a bundle in Japan (not yet, at least).

thanks for the info. i thought Splatoon is bundled there. i guess NoA and EU? only has the bundles.

No prob. And yeah, only NA and EU. Which is kind of ironic now, since Splatoon has proven to be the most popular in Japan.

Freedom Wars did 300k in Japan 11 months ago. Sits around 400-500k rough estimate as I can't find total sales from media create of this game. Digital sales are also public I think from Japan but I don't know for which titles and as of how long
