Last week, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake debuted on top of Japan’s weekly charts for physical software sales, selling over 820,000 collective units. In its second week, unsurprisingly, the game has seen a significant drop in sales, but is still on top of the charts. As per new data shared by Famitsu, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake once again occupies two places in the top 10, with the Switch version taking the top spot and the PS5 version coming in at No. 3. Collectively, both have sold an additional 91,000-plus units in Japan in the game’s second week.

Some other recent releases continue to chart in the top 10 as well, with Super Mario Party Jamboree coming in at No. 2 with over 34,000 units sold, and Mario and Luigi: Brothership taking the No. 4 spot, selling over 9,000 units. Stray comes in at No. 7 as a fresh release for the Nintendo Switch, having sold over 7,000 units.

On the hardware side of things, the Nintendo Switch leads the pack once more, selling over 69,000 units, which is slightly up from what it managed the previous week. Meanwhile, PS5 has also seen a small increase in sales with over 25,000 units sold over the course of the week.
