Demon's Souls managed to sneak it's way into the top 30 again.  This is another sign that PS5 is actually reaching that critical mass of install base where it can reliably get titles into the top 30 (finally).

RFA is also distinguishing itself as the top first party evergreen in Japan.  Hitting fourth place after this many years is impressive especially since the next best first party evergreen is Mario Kart at #9.

To be quite frank, you just have to look at this week PS5 sales to see why a launch title like Demon's Souls could pop up. If the numbers staggers next week, so does Demons Souls

That's not always been the case though. In the last week of March, PS5 sold 62K units and had exactly zero games in the top 30.  This has been fueling the theory that most PS5's sold in Japan are going out of the country.  But now that random PS5 games are appearing when sales are high means that actual Japanese residents are getting the consoles now.
