Famitsu has popped up with another fresh look at the physical gaming charts from Japan, and a newcomer has completely wiped the floor with the competition.
That newbie is, of course, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, which has managed to snap up all three spots on the podium this week with its release on Switch, PS5 and Switch 2. Combining the top three pulls in an impressive 413,518 sales for Square Enix’s latest remake in its first week, which isn’t bad going at all!
All this means that both Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Mario Kart World have been pushed down into fourth, fifth, and sixth. Hey ho, we’re sure they’ll spring back before long.
Elsewhere, the week also saw new releases for Tales of Xillia Remastered and the physical launch of Earthion, all of which landed a spot in the top 10.
But look at us waffling, let’s get to the chart! Here’s the latest top ten physical sales in Japan:
On the hardware side of things, Switch 2 still remains firmly on top, with an additional 83,825 sales to its name as it crosses the 2.5 million mark.
The Switch 1 wasn’t messing around this week either, with the three SKUs combining for 26,708 sales. The PS5 models, by comparison, totalled 7,537.
