The latest weekly Japanese charts from Famitsu have dropped, and you know what that means? Splatoon 3<\/a> is at the top again! Sales are slowly beginning to creep down though, with the ink-based shooter shifting 66,036 copies this week.<\/p>\n

However, snapping at its heels is this week’s highest-charting newcomer \u2014 Persona 5 Royal<\/a>. The Switch version of Atlus’ mammoth RPG sold 45,998 copies in the week of 17th October to 23rd October, while the PS5 version sold just over 5,000 units. Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope<\/a>, another big release from last week, has failed to make the top ten.<\/p>\n

Also stomping into the charts is Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher<\/a>, the latest entry in the Monster Rancher series, with a decent 24,069 units shifted. Otherwise, there’s little change as per usual, with only Gran Turismo 7<\/a> on PS5 sneaking back into the top ten and a Dragon Quest X<\/a> ‘All-In-One’ rounding out the best-sellers.<\/p>\n

Here are the Japanese physical sales charts for last week in full:<\/p>\n

      With no real changes in the hardware charts this week, and Splatoon 3 still sitting in pole position, how will the Umbra Witch fare when Bayonetta 3<\/a> launches?<\/p>\n
