Every Thursday we share the weekly Famitsu sales charts, which tracks physical boxed game sales and hardware sales in Japan. This week’s chart covers Feb. 17 – 23 as the solo outing of Goro Majima in Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii manages to sell over 100,000 units between platforms in its first week on sale. The PS5 copy of the game sold 68,000 copies, whilst the PS4 version sold a little under 37,000, for a combined total of around 105,000 copies sold in its first week.
Most of the chart was the usual series of evergreen titles this week, except for the random resurgence of EA’s It Takes Two, which finds itself at #9 with a little over 3,000 copies moved this week. There doesn’t seem to be a specific reason for the sales surge, but in total It Takes Two has now sold 125,000 copies physically in Japan.
