Japan: Day-One Sales For Yo-Kai Watch 4 And Summer Pockets

Media Create has published Day-One sales figures for two new Switch titles which launched in Japan this week.

This time, we get a look at the sales of the new Yo-kai Watch 4 and Summer Pockets – with things looking a little mixed. While Summer Pockets scraped by with decent performance, Yo-kai Watch 4 actually failed to move consumers according to expectations.

Check out a summary below.

• Yo-kai Watch 4
  • 30% sell-through.
  • Relatively low sales – which do not bode well for the game.
  • Direct comparison with past entries isn’t possible, as this is the first main game since Yo-kai Watch 1 to not release on a Saturday.
  • It needs to perform better over this weekend.

• Summer Pockets
  • 40% sell-through
  • Relatively good sales.
  • But shipments should be low, and sales of such niche titles will mostly be front-loaded.
