Japan Top Weekly Video Game Ranking: May 18, 2020 ~ May 24, 2020

Posted on

Switch titles dominate the weekly Video Game sales ranking for titles sold in Japan for the week between May 18 to May 24, leaving only Final Fantasy VII Remake as the sole PS4 title in the week’s top 10 chart. Although sales of Animal Crossing has remained strong still, the number of copies sold for most titles in the top 10 have been on a decline except for Splatoon 2 (No. 3), Minecraft  (No. 5) and Pokemon (No. 10).

It is thanks to Famitsu that we are able to see these charts on a weekly basis, so be sure to head over to Famitsu here and show them your support! You can find the week’s data by accessing the link here.

As for sales of hardware, sales of Xbox machines have shown a steep climb with Xbox One X jumping the most of all. Sales of PS4 machines however, have dropped with PS4 declining the biggest of the two. Data for sales of hardware can be found here. I have also summarized them as below:
