Japan: Current Hardware and Software Charts (Week 45/2023) – ntower

by

Another week has passed and we look again at the sales figures in the land of the rising sun. When looking at the hardware charts, it is immediately noticeable that the PlayStation 5 was able to recover from its lowest point in recent weeks and is now back at the top. On the software side, a similar picture emerges from the previous week: many new games pushing the usual titles down the charts. The biggest new releases are Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, both of which are not for Nintendo Switch.

Here you can see the complete ones. Japan Charts from November 6, 2023 to November 12, 2023.
