Nice to see Stellar Blade holding well.
Wonder if there was a deal on Xbox to explain its increase; weird to see it doing well in Japan of all places when it's in meltdown everywhere else.

Moreso relatively "well" for what it is, but I was under the impression it could be because of the Series S price but no, the majority sold are Series X, so I wonder if it's another importation thing or maybe the price of Gamepass are attractive to some there.

Yeah, "well" by the standards of an Xbox system in Japan is what I meant; these would be ghastly numbers for a Playstation or Nintendo console, but it's like a 1/20th of Xbox One Japanese lifetime sales in one week. 

PS5 seems to have settled to a 20k baseline; with the price hikes making exports less attractive, Japan just doesn't have much love for the brand these days.
