Hogwarts Legacy and PS5, last week’s top sellers in Japan

Hogwarts Legacy was the best-selling game and PlayStation 5 was the best-selling console last week in Japan, according to new figures.

Sony’s PlayStation 5 console continues to lead among consoles sold in Japan. Both regular and digital PS5 models sold more than 93,000 units in total last week. In fact, Sony’s 9th generation console, despite weaker sales in the field of games compared to Nintendo Switch, has managed to record more sales than Nintendo’s console during the week in question. In addition, Hogwarts Legacy, which has just been released worldwide, has ended the dominance of Nintendo Switch games at the top of the list of best-selling physical games in Japan.

The PS5 version of this open-world action and adventure game, which was recently released by Avalanche Software, had about 67,000 physical copies sold in Japan last week and is at the top of the country’s sales chart. At the same time, the exclusive racing game of PlayStation 5, Gran Turismo 7, has been recorded in the ninth place of the table with the physical sale of 5 thousand copies.

In any case, in the last few weeks, Sony has managed to increase the sales of the PlayStation 5 console in Japan and end the long-term dominance of the Nintendo Switch. Considering that a big game like Final Fantasy 16 is going to be released for this console, we have to wait and see if its sales will remain high or not.

At the end, you can see the list of best-selling consoles and games last week in Japan:
