Posted on

Famitsu has released the full Top 30 chart for Video Games sold in Japan via their site which can be found here. Don’t shy away from visiting the guys over at Famitsu here as it is all thanks to them that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis.

The Top 10 for the week between June 1 to June 7 had two newcomers making into the list with Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics at number 2 while Kowloon Youma Gakuen Ki: Origin of Adventure is at number 5. You can find out more about Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics via its official website.

What may come as a surprise is the sudden rise of The Last of Us from number 27 it occupied last week, it has risen 18 spots to number 9, breaching the Top 10 list. This is most likely due to the upcoming sequel releasing on June 19th. Other titles that have shown improvement in sales include Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (No. 6), Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (No. 8) and Minecraft (No. 10).

Ring Fit Adventure may soon hit the 1 million mark if it continues the current trajectory, though sales have decline for the week. The same can be said for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe which may soon breach the 3 million mark. The largest drop is Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition (No. 4), sales have slipped roughly 80% for the week.

For sales of hardware, you can find the data here. According to Famitsu, sales of PS4 consoles have shown steep incline with PS4 selling 4 times more than it did the week before. Sales of PS4 Pro have nearly doubled while Xbox One S, 2DS and 3DS have shown slight increment. The sales of hardware are as summarized below:
