The Japanese charts for the week of 25th July to 31st July are in from Famitsu, and it’s a big week for RPGs and the Switch.<\/p>\n

The top two spots are taken up by two brand-new releases this week. Monolith Soft’s Xenoblade Chronicles 3<\/a> runs away with the number one spot, selling a staggering 112,728 physical copies. No surprises here, really, as the game is reviewing incredibly well and was one of the most-anticipated launches on the Switch for this year.<\/p>\n

Coming in behind it with 28,536 units sold is Digimon Survive<\/a> on Switch. The visual novel with strategy RPG elements has still sold a respectable amount, and we’re happy to see it chart well alongside Nintendo’s big RPG series. Nintendo Switch Sports<\/a> is just behind the Digital Monsters after another solid week of sales.<\/p>\n

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak<\/a> and Live A Live<\/a> continue to do well, with the latter slipping four places after topping last week’s charts. And to round out new entries, Idea Factory’s latest visual novel \u2014 Tengoku Struggle: Strayside \u2014 debuts in ninth place.<\/p>\n

Here’s this week’s full top ten, which is dominated by Switch releases (except for one sneaky Gran Turismo 7<\/a>):<\/p>\n
