Following a big debut, the New Nintendo 3DS models and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate continued their dominance, with MH4U the #1 selling game of the week, moving another 327,000 units and bringing its total to 1.77 million. Super Smash Bros 3DS and Yokai Watch 2 then rounded out the top 3, selling 53,000 and 42,000, respectively.
It was a fairly slow week elsewhere, with Chaos Rings III on PlayStation Vita the highest-selling new release at 12,000. As for PlayStation platforms, the Vita rose a little bit to 8,700, while the PlayStation 4 dropped to 8,000.
