Splatoon‘s launch continues to be a resounding success for Nintendo in Japan.

After selling 144,818 copies within its first four days on sale, Media Create reported that it achieved a 97.33 percent sell-through. Now, with Nintendo rushing to restock retailers, this past week saw that sell-through ratio remain over 90 percent, with another 68,913 copies sold.

That allowed it to remain at the top of the weekly software sales chart, beating out its nearest competition in Spike Chunsoft’s Shiren the Wanderer 5 Plus which only sold 16,224 copies.

Wii U remained at the top of the hardware sales chart too, shifting 21,169 units which was an increase in comparison to last week.
