Here are the best sellers of games and consoles in Japan for the week of 21 to 27 February 2022, established and communicated as always by the magazine famitsu.
It would have been a pity that Elden Ring meets a huge success everywhere except in his native country. FromSoftware, who himself publishes his game in Japan, can rub his hands: with 278 507 sales without even including the downloads, the launch of the game upgrade all previous titles fromSoftware, especially the 256,701 sales of Dark Souls II in March 2014.
Taking into account the fact that the game is also released on PC and that for download sales on consoles only increase with the years, it does not already do any doubt that Elden Ring is by far the biggest launch of 'A FromSoftware game, not only in Japan but also in the world.
Incidentally, Elden Ring sign the best startup for a PS5 game in Japan with its 90 107 sales, far ahead of 50 482 sales of Tales of Arise. However, Japan remains a particular case for its adoption of the new generation is slower than in the rest of the world: as far as it is known, no other country today favors the PS4 version when a multiplatform game is.
Greet in any case the courage of Gust to have launched the assault of the Hidetaka Miyazaki monument with his workshop Sophie 2, especially since the latter gets out with 41,016 copies sold on PS4 and Switch. It is less than both Ryza workshop but better than previous recent chapters like Luluu, Lydie & Selle and Firis. For the rest, Horizon Forbidden West and Tôken Ranbu Warriors accurses a fall of 76% and - 91% for their second week.
On the side of console sales, it is regrettable that the smashingly Elden Ring is not accompanied by a larger delivery of PS5. The Sony console keeps a slight advance on its sales of last year at the same stage, but the deliveries of the new generation consoles are still so irregular, unlike the switch that approaches its first million million of 2022.
