Japan Top Weekly Video Game Ranking: July 6, 2020 to July 12, 2020

Animal Crossing: New Horizons dropped three spots in the latest weekly Video Game chart available via Famitsu here for the period between July 6 to July 12. Despite the drop in ranks, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has seen sales improving for the week. It was toppled off by Konami’s latest title, eBaseball Powerful Pro Yakyuu 2020​​ which occupies both 1st and 2nd spots in the chart. Together, the Switch and Playstation editions of the game sold 186,423 copies in its first week. At number 3 is Bandai’s latest addition to the Sword Art Online lineup, SWORD ART ONLINE Alicization Lycoris​ which debuted at 73,331 copies.

The rest of the Top 10 are familiar faces. Sales of Ring Fit Adventure is still going on a roller coaster ride for the week, it saw sales climbed more than 50% after seeing an almost 45% plunge the week before. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is another title that has experienced a climb, while the others have dropped.

As for sales of hardware, Switch machines have recovered tremendously after a significant drop experienced the week before. Xbox One S is the other hardware which saw a jump in sales. The rest have all dropped. You may find the sales data for hardware here. Please take note that lifetime sales for Xbox One S is incorrect (refer to the post here). I have updated to the correct one. It should also be in tandem with the Half-year Sales Chart here. Anyways, they are summarized as below:
