Here are the best sellers of games and consoles in Japan for the week of August 30 to September 5, 2021, established and communicated as always by Famitsu magazine.
As the Software ranking became particularly banal after the pretty shot of Tsukihime , this week first marks the crossing of the first million PS5 sold in Japan, including 165,235 sales for the digital edition model. As everywhere else in the world, the performance of the console is dictated above all by the goodwill of stocks, but what can be said after 43 weeks is that the PS5 sells faster than the PS4 and it does game equal with the PS Vita at the same stage.
The PS5 remains late on the PS3 that had elapsed at 1.16 million copies after 43 weeks, slightly behind the very first PlayStation. No need to look for the comparison with references such as PSP and PS2 and even less with the Switch whose park was already rising 3.30 million machines on the same number of weeks. The switch that passes here the cap of 21 million in 235 weeks. Only Nintendo DS has been sold more quickly in Japan throughout the history of consoles (21 million in 160 weeks).
The physical PS5 games still remain always timid in Japan, the top 3 being composed of Resident Evil Village (67,000 sales), Demon's Souls (52,000 sales) and Marvel's Spider -Man: moral miles (44,000 sales) according to Famitsu estimates. Galoping dematerialization, backward compatibility, the success of the free-to-play and the possibility that a large part of the consoles purchased in Japan is part of other Asian countries are part of the factors that can partly explain the weakness of these Software numbers.
In the world, the PlayStation 5 has recall exceeded 10 million consoles sold to consumers on July 18, faster than any other console before it.
