Unsurprisingly, Monster Hunter World holds fast at the top of the chart for the third week in a row, exactly as it did at retail stores (as we saw from Media Create).
Dynasty Warriors 9 also placed second. While retail sales were considerably lower compared to its predecessor, we should also consider that digital sales are much more popular in Japan now than they were five years ago, so the gap is probably smaller than what the physical sales numbers indicate.
Dragon Ball FighterZ managed to hold in third position, confining another new game by Bandai Namco, Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet, in fourth place.
Two more debuts are fairly disappointing, with Shadow of the Colossus in eighth place, and Dragon’s Crown Pro in sixteenth. This is another confirmation of the fact that Japanese gamers normally don’t care all that much for remasters, and especially for those that add almost nothing besides a resolution bump, as it’s the case with Dragon’s Crown Pro (and despite the fact that the original game was already fantastic).
Incidentally, seeing some old games in peculiar positions should not surprise you, as they were on sale, and the digital market is very sensitive to that.
