Media Create has published their video game sales data for the Japanese market for the period between January 7 and January 13, 2019.

The bestselling game of the week of January 7 is none other than New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, which moved 166,303 copies at launch. Coming in at No. 2 is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at 62,580 units.

Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition launched on PS4 and Switch the same week, with the PS4 version selling 41,510 copies (No. 3) and the Switch version moving 26,588 copies (No. 4).
