Sales of video game software for the week between August 17 to August 23 did not see much movement that week as only a handful of titles were released during the same period. Therefore, a rather slow week with familiar faces still in the Top 10.
Note that it is thanks to the awesome folks back at Famitsu that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so be sure to head over to their site here and show them lots of love! The week’s data can be found here.
Since the week before detailed the total number of sales accumulated for a two-week period for hardware, there will be no week-to-week percentage of change this time around. They will be back next week. From the looks of it though, sales have somewhat slowed down.

As for video game software, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is still stable, while sales have plummeted significantly week-on-week, it still is hanging on to the number 1 spot. Ring Fit Adventure comes in at 2nd, seeing an increase in sales for the week. Although I expected Ghost of Tsushima to be on a decline, it climbed back up after registering positive numbers for the week.
