It has been a while, but we have new releases this week :

Zelda doesn't want to leave its throne, that was close ! Only change in top 10 is Xeno entering at 10. Mario + Rabbids will have to wait one more week to reach 1M.

Thanks, I am, by the way, opened to suggestions (as long as it is doable in a reasonable amount of time...lol). In the same way, if someone is aware of official numbers I would miss for games in the list don't hesitate to post them so I can add them.
