Japanese Rankings
With the arrival of the Japanese charts for the week of November 14 to 20, 2022, it is appropriate to rediscover the term annihilated, because there is no other way to describe the entire Japanese market in front of the release of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet , which dominate sales at home with an abysmal gap.Let's see the software ranking, as regards the games released from 14 to 20 November 2022:
[NSW] Pokemon Scarlet / Pokemon Violet (The Pokemon Company, 11/18/22) - 2,537,292 (New) [NSW] Splatoon 3 (Nintendo, 09/09/22) - 36,958 (3,368,155) [PS5] God of War Ragnarok (SIE, 11/09/22 ) - 9,901 (39,278) [PS4] Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten (Aquaplus, 11/17/22) - 9,066 (New) [NSW] Tactics Ogre: Reborn (Square Enix, 11/11/22) - 7,687 ( 44,470) [NSW] Minecraft (Microsoft, 06/21/18) - 7,449 (2,855,406) [NSW] Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Nintendo, 04/28/17) - 7,330 (4,906,589) [NSW] Cardfight!! Vanguard Dear Days (Bushiroad, 11/17/22) - 6,649 (New) [NSW] SympathyKiss (Idea Factory, 11/17/22) - 6,072 (New) [NSW] Sonic Frontiers (SEGA, 11/08/22) - 5,837 (31,904)
There's not much to comment: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have totaled over 2.5 million copies in three days in Japan alone, which on the other hand is hardly surprising thinking that it has totaled over 10 million copies worldwide in half a week.
This makes all the other results in the standings practically irrelevant, with Splatoon 3 still remaining in second position and God of War Ragnarok in third.
Like other news, we point out the launch of Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten in fourth position and Cardfight!! Vanguard Dear Days in eighth, followed by SympathyKiss in ninth.
As far as hardware is concerned, Nintendo Switch also annihilates on this front with a further push given by Pokémon which leads to dominating the ranking in an almost embarrassing way:
Switch OLED Model - 102,605 (3,083,839) Switch Lite - 40,432 (4,920,529) Switch - 27,656 (18,866,523) PlayStation 5 - 26,946 (1,848,649) PlayStation 4 - 5,803 (7,826,141) PlayStation 5 Digital Edition - 4,912 (291,848) Xbox Series X - 16,373 - 154 (212,419) New 2DS LL (including 2DS) - 34 (1,189,185)
