Japan Sales Charts: Golden Week Helps Drive PS5 Just Shy of 100k Units

All yellow

The latest Japanese sales charts, compiled and published by gaming bible Famitsu, account for two weeks of data, which is worth pointing out right away. Golden Week was kind to the PS5, however, driving the system to sales just shy of 100k units, specifically 99,938. Sony's system was, as usual, handily outsold by the Nintendo Switch, with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom right around the corner, of course.

In terms of software, the PS4 version of Hogwarts Legacy picked up where its PS5 predecessor left off, adding another 31,918 units to the title's total. It was joined by another new release, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which sold 16,742 units on the PS5 alone. The rest of the software chart, perhaps unsurprisingly, was dominated by Nintendo's evergreen releases.
