Famitsu has released the Top 30 ranking of video game sales in Japan for the 4th week of September available via their site here. Square Enix’s Switch version of the critically acclaimed series, Dragon Quest XI takes the number one spot with an impressive 300,000 copies sold in Japan only. The list sees a number of new additions such as Code Vein (No. 2), Atelier Ryza (No. 3) and even Ys: Monstrum Nox though the sales pale in comparison with Dragon Quest. Despite selling quite well for both PS4 and Switch, Atelier Ryza could not come close to Dragon Quest total number of sales, managing to sell a total of 78,966 copies for both PS4 and Switch.
