Japan Leaderboard: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak maintains comfortable lead

The latest Japanese charts are here and yet another strong week for Capcom’s Monster Hunter Rise + Sunbreak Set, with the package leading the charge once again with an impressive 44,071 units sold. While this is a sharp drop from the 104,315 units sold during the launch week, it is still a solid number for the latest entry into Monster hunter Franchising.

Elsewhere, there’s not much to highlight here. The only new addition is KLONOA Phantasy Reverie SeriesLanded at half way at point five. Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes dropped a few places to come in at number eight, and Mario Strikers: Battle League predicted fell out of the top 10 altogether.

On the hardware side of things, the Switch is still selling like blockbusters, and the only big change here is that Xbox Series X sales have dropped by a staggering 509 units. Maybe the console has become hard to buy in recent days, but this is still an alarming statistic, even considering the platform’s lack of popularity in Japan. Similarly, PlayStation 5 sales have fallen slightly, but are still relatively strong, keeping the console in fourth place in the rankings.
