With the Golden Week holiday season underway throughout the week, the rise in sales for older releases across the board is more impactful with all in the Top 10 marking a significant increase week-over-week. Hogwarts Legacy’s PlayStation 4 edition takes the top spot to settle at 31,918 copies sold in its first three days. It is the same game that was released back in February this year, however, for the PS4. Without further ado, the full list is as follows:
