L'institut Media Create dévoile le classement des meilleures ventes de jeux vidéo au Japon. Si Final Fantasy XV débute en tête, son score est plutôt médiocre car il signe le pire démarrage de la série depuis Final Fantasy II sur Famicom (NES) et un recul particulièrement notable depuis FFXIII qui avait débuté à 1.501.964 exemplaires. Performance honorable pour le portage de Super Mario Maker sur Nintendo 3DS :
