Basically identical to last week hardware wise and Clair Obscur going up a lot due to excellent word of mouth shows that I really need to play that soon.

Hardware this week was pretty similar to last week, except XBox sold a ton last week for some reason. Four new SKU's in the top 10 though. It's funny to me to see a PS5 SKU for Fantasy Life. I really don't know why publishers do this. It's a sequel to a 3DS game and they ported it to an unpopular platform. Why?

The reason is that Japan is not the only country in the world. It's a popular platform overall and Japanese games are selling more overseas than ever so a Japenese developer not releasing a PS5 version of a notable game is just gonna be a bad business decision in most cases. This new Fantasy Life is doing quite well on PC with nearly half the reviews being in English so worldwide it's probably doing at least decently on the PS5.

How much did it sell on PC?
