A lot of debuts from a lot of different places for the past few months. RPG's seem to be having a big month. After months of close calls, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 makes the top of the list for its last month of eligibility! As far as new titles, Final Fantasy and Persona both have several titles that made their way into the list (Though different platforms lead to them none of them being super prevalent in the higher up positions (Well...except for FFXVI).

As far as combined platforms go, Starfield jumps back into the top 3 when you combine them. Persona 5 manages to scurry up enough points to hit the top 20, and Hollow Knight manages to somehow stay at a consistent 10th spot (same as last month).

I decided to show the Franchise list this month since it shows how both Final Fantasy and Persona are powerhouses. Final Fantasy jumps into 1st place. Also, while Persona doesn't look like it did much, it did manage to muster up 7 SKU's with 3 games. Who knows if it can jump up further next month?
