For the week between September 11 and September 17, Konami’s latest installment in its yearly soccer simulation series, PES 2018 (known as Winning Eleven 2018 in Japan) debuted at No.1, doubling its nearest competitor, which was Splatoon 2. 

Rounding at the top five is new release Metroid: Samus Returns, followed by fellow new release from Naughty Dog, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, a standalone game in the iconic PlayStation series. And brining up the rear was last week’s No.1, Destiny 2.

As for hardware, the Nintendo Switch once again comfortably came out on top, something it has done virtually every week since its launch back in March.
