Media Create has released the video game software and hardware sales figures in Japan for the week ending March 17th. Ubisoft’s recently released open world looter shooter, The Division 2 has topped software sales, selling over 63,000 copies in its debut week. The game topped UK sales charts as well, in spite of significant drop in sales over its 2016 predecessor. Interestingly enough, those figures are also lower than what Anthem sold in Japan in its own debut week.
Meanwhile, One Piece: World Seeker has also had pretty strong debut, charting in second position with over 51,000 units sold. Devil May Cry 5, which topped the charts last week, is now in third place, having sold over 33,000 copies. Meanwhile, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe are still holding strong in the next two positions, with sales of nearly 21,000 and 17,000 respectively.
On the hardware front, the Switch is still the highest selling console of the week, but has seen a significant drop in sales, moving nearly 57,000 units as opposed to last week’s nearly 70,000. The PS4, on the other hand, has held steady at over 32,000 units sold (base PS4 and Pro model sales combined).
You can take a look at the full software and hardware charts below.
