The Wii U has endured a largely consistent loss of momentum in 2013, which a release lineup that despite some excellent titles has largely failed to inspire substantial sales. Nintendo has, unsurprisingly, lined up a significant range of titles for the second half of 2013, starting off with Pikmin 3.
The latest title in the series which had two entries on the GameCube has come in at number one in the latest Media Create Charts; released on 13th July, it accumulated 92,720 physical retail sales (eShop downloads aren't included) in its debut weekend. The standalone retail disc of New Super Luigi U placed fifth in the chart.
1. [Wii U] Pikmin 3 92,720 (New)
2. [3DS] Yokai Watch 53,654 (New)
3. [PS3] Earth Defense Force 2025 37,024 (191,713)
4. [3DS] Tomodachi Collection: New Life 26,065 (1,259,847)
5. [Wii U] New Super Luigi U 24,881 (New)
6. [PSV] Toukiden 20,853 (186,963)
7. [PSP] Toukiden 19,262 (118,404)
8. [PS3] Dead Island: Riptide 18,462 (New)
9. [PS3] Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection 17,599 (New)
10. [3DS] Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D 12,963 (206,322)
11. [PS3] Gundam Breaker 10,224 (242,819)
12. [3DS] Animal Crossing: New Leaf 10,088 (3,325,123)
13. [3DS] Luigis Mansion: Dark Moon 9,184 (825,026)
14. [PS3] The Last of Us 9,158 (173,181)
15. [PSP] Hanayaka Kana, Ware ga Ichizoku: Tasogare Polarstar 9,046 (New)
16. [PSP] DanganRonpa: Academy of Hope and High School Students of Despair (PSP the Best) 6,106 (91,204)
17. [3DS] Digimon World Re: Digitize Decode 5,912 (50,952)
18. [3DS] Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl 5,870 (106,914)
19. [Wii] Taiko Drum Master Wii Super Wonderful Edition 5,203 (516,866)
20. [PS3] Atelier Escha & Logy: The Alchemist of Dusk Sky 5,031 (72,873)
In the hardware stakes, the 3DS LL (XL) remains the number one, continuing its remarkable run; for Wii U there's the welcome sight of a meaty bump in sales taking it up to second place behind its portable brethren. The results are below, with last week's sales in parenthesis.
3DS LL 29,594 (29,716)
Wii U 22,199 (8,251)
PlayStation Vita 15,662 (20,776)
3DS 13,841 (14,506)
PlayStation 3 12,698 (11,683)
PSP 5,830 (5,768)
Wii 1,434 (1,334)
Xbox 360 393 (313)
It's a welcome boost for Nintendo's home console, and after an encouraging increase eyes will shift to next week as we see whether the system can maintain some momentum during Pikmin 3's first full week; as for 3DS, it just keeps on selling regardless.

It's a real shame when the so called "game of the decade" is being outsold by several games that have been out for months.

I'm not surprised by this though, Nintendo consoles and handhelds know to save themselves in the end

That's because this is the Japanese chart where weird cartoony games dominate.

Ugh, reading about this makes me all nostalgic about Pikmin and Pikmin 2...
I may have to get a Wii U in the next couple months, so I can get this, Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart, Smash Bros., etc.
