Japan Top Weekly Video Game Ranking: September 2, 2019 ~ September 8, 2019

It has indeed been awhile since we last saw this many PS4 titles making into the top list of the sales ranking. This week, it probably did not come as a surprise to many, but Monster Hunter World Iceborn has come to exert its place on this week’s throne taking not one but two of the top spots of this week’s top ranking. The game itself has shipped about 2.5 million copies worldwide across multiple platforms – PS4 and Xbox – following its release on September 6 pushing away last week’s top holder Azur Lane down under to number 15. Elsewhere on the list, Fire Emblem continues to slip down from last week’s 8 to this week’s 10. This week also sees PlatinumGames very own ASTRAL CHAIN going down 4 spots to number 6. Newcomer, which may come as a surprise would be NBA 2K20 sitting comfortably at number 4. Don’t forget to visit Famitsu for the full list.
