Thanks for posting this.  That is good to know.

Does anyone know how Spiderman ranks with other top Japanese releases for 2018?  I would guess Monster Hunter World sold better FW.  Does this make Spiderman #2 so far?

Spiderman has the 3rd biggest opening in Japan so far this year. Here's a list:

1. Monster Hunter World (PS4) - 1.24m
2. Kirby Star Allies (Switch) - 222k
3. Spiderman (PS4) - 125k
4. Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu 2018 (PS4) - 124k
5. Mario Tennis Aces (Switch) - 123k
6. Hokuto ga Gotoku (PS4) - 123k
7. Dynasty Warriors 9 (PS4) - 117k
8. Dissidia Final Fantasy NT (PS4) - 105k
9. Super Robot Wars X (PS4) - 89k
10. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Switch) - 88k
11. Fate/Extella Link (PS4) - 78k
12. Far Cry 5 (PS4) - 75k
13. Sword Art Online Fatal Bullet (PS4) - 75k
14. PES (PS4) - 73k
15. Dark Souls Remastered (PS4) - 71k
16. Etrian Odyssey X (3DS) - 71k

Monster Hunter almost sold as much as the rest of that list combined.

Thank you for posting this.  Spiderman still did extremely well.  This is especially true since the only other game on that list that is "Western" is Far Cry 5.  (I guess you would count Spiderman as Western.  It is Sony first party but made by Insomniac.)
