There’s been a few fans getting back into that game to try to finish it before Xenoblade 3 comes out.
I’m assuming it’s just part of that.

There are still new copies of Xenoblade 2 left? Color me surprised.
It's also is performing favorably on the eshop in Japan.

Double post.

Did not wanted to have a huge quote but a lot of games can still get announced and release, like today Atlus announced Soul hackers sequel is coming to PS/XB in August.

Xeno 1 R and Xeno 2 are up on digital store too.

JP Switch eShop Chart for the period of Feb 07 - Feb 20, 2022
23./24. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 {2017-12-01} (JPY 8778.0)
36./00. Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition {2020-05-29} (JPY 6578.0)

That's good sign for the next game

"Touken Ranbu Warriors won 1st place. This work has become a hot topic as the first home-use game software in Touken Ranbu series and is characterized by the high sales volume of limited edition.

Furthermore, Horizon Forbidden West ranked in 3rd and 4th place and when sales are combined they exceed those of Touken Ranbu Warriors. In addition, this is an open world game with a high graphic level and we look forward to future trends."

Another pre-order for Elden Ring on PS5 is positive.

However I did not expect the standard PS5 version of GT7 to fall off the edge of the charts.

Another boost for ER. 180 goal will be reached. How much over 180 is now the question.

Kirby has been a consistent climber. Would be good to see it climb over 90. Hopefully sells over 200,000 during the first week.
