Devil May Cry 5 Tops Media Create Charts, Sells Over 110,000 Units

Media Create has released video game software and hardware sales charts from Japan for the week ending March 10th- to absolutely no one’s surprise, the biggest release of the week, Capcom’s Devil May Cry 5, has topped the software charts (as it did in the UK as well). It has done so quite effectively, in fact, having sold over 110,000 units with three days on the market. 

Dead or Alive 6, which topped the charts on its debut last week, has dropped down quite significantly, ranking eleventh with just a little over 5,000 units sold. Left Alive, which debuted at fifth place last week, is in fifteenth place here, with less than 4,000 units sold. Over in the top 5, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe continue to hold strong. Meanwhile, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has seen a bit of a resurgence as well, moving up from #7 to #4, with over 12,000 units sold. 

On the hardware side of things, the sales have held steady for the most part. The Nintendo Switch tops the charts again with over 69,000 units sold. The PS4, on the other hand, has seen a bit of a boost, most likely thanks to the release of Devil May Cry 5, moving a total of over 32,000 units (base model and PS4 Pro sales combined).
