That's a solid first week for Triangle Strategy. Impressively, the top SKU for GT7 was for the PS5. On the other hand, both SKUs of Elden Ring had a pretty big drop. That will likely be the best selling Playstation game this year in Japan, but even its sales plummet week over week. Playstation games just have no staying power on the Famitsu charts no matter how good they are.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

Switch is over 24 million now, so close to the 3DS and 3rd of all time in Japan.

It sounds good when you say "For the People", but what you really want is... a stronger army than the Knights, and the evil power to control the people.

Quite a feat to top the chart when GT7 is released.

Good numbers for Triangle Strategy, especially considering how niche the genre is , honestly I thought it'd do like 50k.

Amazing numbers for the Switch , the 3DS's wig is not safe.

I feel like it should do another 4 millions this year and will probably be able to sell another 4 over the next 2 years. I doubt it won't become the best selling system in Japan.
