Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us II debuted in Japan at number 1 for the period between June 15 to June 21 selling almost 180,000 copies according to the latest Video Game chart by Famitsu here. The sequel to the 2013 title sold about 48,000 copies more than its prequel. The Last of Us debuted in Japan back in 2013 with 129,983 copies sold in its first week. The release of the sequel has also spurred the purchase of the prequel’s remastered edition, pushing it back into the charts lately, for the week it occupies the 12th spot with 5,883 copies sold for the period.
Sales of Animal Crossing: New Horizons are still going strong as it slowly approaches the 5 million copies mark. If it keeps on the current momentum, it may very well likely breach that number the following week. The Top 10 also saw sales climbing for Ring Fit Adventure and Pokémon Sword and Shield while two new titles are seen in its rank other than The Last of Us II.
As for sales of hardware, according to Famitsu here, sales of Xbox machines have dropped with Xbox One X seeing sales diminishing the most of the two. The rest has witnessed sales going up across the board with New 3DS LL and Switch Lite seeing a 30% increase. I have summarized them as below:
Sales of Hardware
1. Switch / 54,823 units (↑29.44%) (total sold: 11,630,547 units)
