Famitsu has released the latest game sales chart for Japan, and there are some interesting shifts this week.
Leading the pack is Silent Hill f for the PS5, selling 57,475 copies. Just behind is Mario Kart World, which added 35,027 units to its total. In contrast, the newly launched Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds fell to number 9, with 5,571 copies sold. The Sonic franchise hasn’t held the same allure in Japan as it does in the West. This could be partly because fans might be waiting for the anticipated Switch 2 version coming out later this year.
Another newcomer, Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian, made a notable debut. Its Switch version managed to sell 10,425 copies in its first week, outperforming its PS5 counterpart.
