PlayStation 5 remains steady with their growth week-on-week to see yet another climb as total sales for both of its consoles hit 22,641 units. This would be its third highest since May 16 where number of units sold peaked between May 24 to May 30 as it recorded 39,324 units sold at the time. Xbox Series however, has dropped 61.53% over the week before to see only 1,802 units sold while Switch consoles report a slide of 9.86% with 62,865 units sold for the week. The fewer units sold is also applied to PlayStation 4 and New 2DS LL as the two fell nearly 30% week-on-week.

Another new release can be found at Number 3. Dai Gyakuten Saiban 1 & 2: Naruhodou Ryuunosuke no Bouken to Kakugo debuts with 14,460 copies sold for the week.

Sales are unfortunately lower for other past titles in the Top 10 with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD (No. 2) dropping the hardest week-on-week. Nabi-tsuki! Tsukutte Wakaru Hajimete Game Programming at Number 8 is soon to hit 200,000 copies sold in Japan which is highly possible the following week as long as it retains above 9,000 copies sold. Released back in June 2021, the title has so far amassed 191,175 in its local market, yet sales have been on a steady decline since its first week.
