Capcom’s Resident Evil 3 had a very strong release in Japan for its opening week, according to Famitsu. The remake sold a whopping 189,490 units at retail according to the publication’s estimated sales for March 30th to April 5th 2020. Estimates included the regular release and Z-rated version of the game.

Impressive as it is, this wasn’t enough to dethrone Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Despite launching several weeks ago, the Switch exclusive sold an estimated 423,367 units at retail for the week. This brings its lifetime total sales in Japan to 3,031,784 which is pretty crazy even without accounting for digital sales.

Check out the full software sales charts below. In terms of hardware, the Nintendo Switch sold about 155,000 units for the week across both the regular and Lite models. The PS4 managed roughly 19,000 units sold for the week with the base model and PS4 Pro accounted for. Full hardware sales can also be seen below.

Famitsu’s latest weekly charts for the most highly anticipated upcoming releases are out. Final Fantasy 7 Remake topping these charts has become an inevitability of sorts in recent weeks, and that hasn’t changed here either, with the Square Enix RPG taking the pole position yet again. Dragon Quest 11 S has also consistently been finishing in second place, and so it has done this week again.

The next four positions, too, remain unchanged, with three of them being upcoming Nintendo Switch exclusives. Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Animal Crossing, and Pokemon Sword and Shield are in the top 5, with Monster Hunter World: Iceborne following close behind in sixth place. Days Gone, meanwhile, has moved up from last week, taking the seventh spot as opposed to last week’s tenth position.

In its place this week is Ys 9: Monstrum Nox, while Code Vein and Bayonetta 3 at eighth and ninth positions round out the top 10.

With Kingdom Hearts 3 and Resident Evil 2 both out now, the top spots of Famitsu’s weekly charts for the most highly anticipated upcoming games have become wide open. One permanent fixture that still remains at the top, however, is Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which retook the pole position last week, and remains on top this week as well.

The rest of the top three remains unchanged as well, with Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Switch and Devil May Cry 5 coming in at second and third places respectively. Super Robot Wars T, meanwhile, has pushed ahead, taking the fourth place, pushing Dragon Quest 11 S down to sixth position, with Catherine: Full Body occupying the fifth position between the two of them.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses at number 7, Shin Megami Tensei 5 at number 8, and Bayonetta 3 at number 9 represent upcoming Switch exclusives strongly, slightly changing around in positions over last week, while Dead or Alive 6 in tenth place rounds off the top 10.

Famitsu has released the charts for the most highly anticipated upcoming games, as decided by votes cast by its readers- with Kingdom Hearts 3 and Resident Evil 2 (both of which have been dominating the charts for months on end) now out, the top 10 is looking much different than it has in a long time. One thing that doesn’t look different is that Final Fantasy 7 Remake has taken the pole position in the charts.

In second place is Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Switch, moving up three places from last week thanks to the aforementioned vacuum, while Devil May Cry 5 also benefits similarly, taking the third spot. Dragon Quest 11 S, the Nintendo Switch version of the game, takes the fourth spot, while Super Robot Wars T comes in at number 5.

Majority of the next 5 entries are Nintendo Switch exclusives- with Bayonetta 3, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and Shin Megami Tensei 5 ranking seventh, eighth, and ninth respectively. Catherine: Full Body in sixth place and Ushiro in tenth place round off the charts.

Super Robot Wars T follows close behind, trailing Animal Crossing by just nine votes, with Ace Combat 7 following in seventh place. Dead or Alive 6, which recently got delayed, takes up the eighth position.
