Launched on Tuesday on PS4 and PS3 and receiving glowing reviews, ‘Persona 5’ from Atlus/Deep Silver debuts at No1.

It is the first J-RPG (Japanese RPG) to debut at the top of the All Formats Chart since ‘Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch’ back in W5 2013 (‘Final Fantasy XV’ launched at No2, but it had to contend with ‘FIFA 17’). It is by far the biggest launch for a ‘Persona’ title and the first ever All Formats No1 for developer and publisher Atlus. ‘Mass Effect: Andromeda’ slips down to No5 after two weeks at the top, while ‘Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands’ and ‘Lego Worlds’ both hold on to No’s 2 and 3 respectively. Originally released on Wii U back in W13 2013 when it debuted at No12, ‘Lego City Undercover’ comes to PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, pushing it back in to the chart at No8 and giving publisher Warner Bros. two Lego games in the Top 10 and four in the Top 40. Retailer promotions give boosts to ‘Overwatch’ up from No14 to No10 and ‘WWE 2K17’ up from No19 to No13.

The only other new titles to make the Top 40 are ‘Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition’ from Gearbox Publishing/Maximum Games at No23 and ‘Yo-Kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits’ at No36. Sister title ‘Yo-Kai Watch 2: Fleshy Souls’ fails to make the Top 40.

Persona 5 is the first JRPG to debut at the top of the All Formats Chart since 2013? That's amazing! But what about Pokemon games, did they not chart at the top of all formats or they aren't counted as a JRPG?

So Persona 5 performed better than Final Fantasy XV... deserved, given the review scores of both titles.

Zelda is holding up well, slipping only one place.

LEGO City Undercover Swith represent. Although, as people on GAF have pointed out, the game looks to have sold pretty abysmally on PS4/XB1 and those consoles also had LEGO Worlds this week which likely contributed to less people picking it up.

For the weirdest reasons, pokemon isnt considered a jrpg by many. Maybe cuz its in a league of its own? I dunno really lol.

Zelda holds strong, means word of mouth and switch is still in demand atm.

Persona 5 doing well, it is the franchise alongside FE that will bloom into a much bigger franchise this gen. I think P5 still has a chance at over 2.5mil lifetimw WW

They probably made a loss on that PS3 localization. Damn only 3%

That's what, no more than 2,000 copies at best

Yeah I saw it was sold out in denmark, read it was sold out in UK, Belgium and other places in europe.

Atlus should have shipped more to europe than it did.

Also love it when "niche" titles are the best selling games.

Lego City Undercover on Switch comfortably above the other two versions. Not surprising, most would have 'finished' Zelda by now, and there isn't much else to play.

Great news about Persona 5. Hopefully someone will get the number from somewhere

is that table with the shares available for other weeks too or is this a one of? I'd be interested to see it from last week.
