The latest Japanese boxed charts are here (albeit slightly late this week) and there’s no change for the top two spots, with Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet<\/a> and Splatoon 3<\/a> sitting comfortably in their usual positions. Scarlet and Violet are very close to crossing the 4 million sales mark, and we wouldn’t be surprised if it hasn’t already achieved such a milestone by the time you’re reading this.<\/p>\n

Crisis Core – Final Fantasy VII – Reunion<\/a> made its debut, coming in at number three, four, and five for the PS5, PS4, and Switch versions respectively. Adding up sales across all three platforms, the game managed a total of 156,530 units sold, which is genuinely fantastic for a spin-off title.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a> is closing in on 5 millions units sold with a current total of 4,972,488, and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope<\/a> is hanging in there at number ten on the charts, selling 15,060 units this week to make up an ongoing total of 46,173.<\/p>\n
