Famitsu weekly sales 2022/7/11-17

2022-07-22 / by Luca / in News, PS4, PS5, Switch

Famitsu has published the Japanese weekly sales chart for the last week but maybe it should be better to call it “the top 30 Switch games” because as it already happened many times this year neither PS4 games nor PS5 games entered the chart.

Generally the numbers are very low considering the top spot neither reached 30,000 units (Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak) and the #30 spot is a little more than one thousand units sold.

The only new entry is Chickip Dancers at #26 with only 1,278 units sold, some kind of numbers that in a normal situation with more than one console on the market would never let a game to enter the top 30; there are some games returned to the chart at the bottom spots, Kirby Star Allies, Human Fall Flat, Dragon Quest XI budget version and Mario Maker 2.

What is perplexing is the absence of Gran Turismo 7 for PS5, which sold more than 7,000 units two weeks ago and inexplicably it seems to have sold less than a thousand units the following week.

Hardware side there are not so many differences from the previous week, Switch OLED version still dominates but it’s still suffering some restock problems as the numbers of the original model show while PS5 has similar sales while the only systems in negative territory are Switch Lite and Xbos Series S : both sold around half of what they did in the previous week.
