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 March 10 – 16, as Monster Hunter Wilds spends its third week on top thanks to an additional 40,000 sales. The physical sales of the game are slowly starting to slow down, but with its gigantic success digitally, as suggested by over 50% of gamers opting to get the game on Steam in the US, its safe to say the game is a behemoth success; and doesn’t really need the physical sales as much right now.
Elsewhere on the chart, Super Mario Party Jamboree continued its reign as one of the most successful Mario Party games securing #2 with a little short of 9,000 additional sales pushing it towards its new 1.23 million total units sold physically in Japan. At #3 is the returning Suikoden I & II HD Remaster after its debut last week, shipping an additional 7,000 units. The Switch also rebounds in hardware, taking first place back from PS5 after Sony had a brief couple of weeks on top thanks to Monster Hunter‘s appearance.
