Famitsu has released its videogame sales chart for the week from 18 September to 24 September 2023.
The podium shows a “Pikmin domination” because the top spot is held by the highest new entry of the week, Pikmin 1+2 (SWI) while the second place is reserved to Pikmin 4 (SWI) and the podium is closed by another new entry, the highest for PlayStation systems, Lies of P (PS5).
Other new entries are Lies of P for PS4 and Payday 3 (PS5).
Sales keep to be slow as the previous week while hardware sales have seen an increase for both main systems, Switch OLED and PlayStation 5 but surely the good result of Xbox Series cannot fail to be mentioned, not only because they went from 1,670 to 9,058 units sold but also because Xbox Series S sold more than PlayStation 5 Digital.
