EarthBound launched July 18 for the Virtual Console service on the Nintendo eShop for Wii U and is off to a great start. Only two eShop titles, New Super Luigi U and Pikmin 3, generated more consumer spend in the same time period since launch.

Nintendo 3DS and Wii U fans will have a lot to play this summer and through the rest of 2013. Starting with the recently released Pikmin 3 (Wii U, Aug. 4) and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team (Nintendo 3DS, Aug. 11) and continuing with The Wonderful 101 (Wii U, Sept. 15), Pokémon X and Pokémon Y (Nintendo 3DS, Oct. 12), The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD (Wii U, October), Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Wii U, November), The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (Nintendo 3DS, November) and Super Mario 3D World (Wii U, December).

*Data regarding physical sales of games in July are from the NPD Group. Data regarding digital downloads of games and combined physical/digital life-to-date numbers are from Nintendo’s internal sales figures. All numbers are specific to the United States only.

On a single-SKU basis, SMTIV, Luigi's Mansion, and GTA IV: Complete Edition would all have made the top 10.

[Aquamarine]

Looking forward to Wii U sales...not sure if I should be anticipating them or dreading them, though.

 

[Canis lupus]

Pachter pls

 

[CoolS]

go Animal Crossing!

 

[Loudninja]

The Last Of Us should be over a million in the US now.

 

[FullMetalx117]

Damn... Minecraft

 

[SolarPowered]

I forgot this was happening today. Good to see The Last of Us still up there.

 

[Lambtron]

Good work, SMT IV.

 

[SmokyDave]

I can't help but be incredibly impressed by Minecraft XBLA. Microsoft really scored when they scooped that one up.

 

[FZZ]

"If the top software was ranked on an SKU basis, the following would have made the top 10 for July: 3DS Shin Megami Tensei IV; 3DS Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon; 360 Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition."

This doesn't seems good.

 

[Guevara]

Wow at the physical release of Minecraft

 

[D-Dott]

Minecraft above TLOU is surprising.

 

[Verendus]

Krillin sold less than 30k. This is my prediction.

 

[Moonstone]

Minecraft ... seriously. Don't people have PCs?

 

[Coldnoodle]

This doesn't seems good.

I DONT CARE!

SHIN MEGAMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

 

[RoKKeR]

Minecraft a beast, TLoI Stoll holding it's own. Really glad TLoU is continuing to sell well.

 

[BrhysH]

Impressed that the 360 version of Minecraft is selling that well.

 

[ASIS]

I really, really don't understand the animal crossing craze. Otherwise, bring on the hardware!

 

[Yawnier]

Nice to still see TLOU and Animal Crossing up there.

Retail release of Minecraft for $20 - Mojang and MS unleashed a monster.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Really want to know what SMT IV sold for.

 

[JeffGrubb]

On a single-SKU basis, SMTIV, Luigi's Mansion, and GTA IV: Complete Edition would all have made the top 10.

[Gartooth]

Wonder how much SMT4 sold.

 

[Sinatar]

Far Cry 3 is still charting? Wow that's some serious legs.

 

[Kyon]

[Mr_Antimatter]

PC really is too much of a hassle for a lot of people, and kids already have 360s and aren't going to get a PC for gaming.
