It’s Wednesday which means it is time to take a look at the latest Japanese software and hardware charts courtesy of Famitsu. It’s been a good week once again for Nintendo and also Square Enix with the Nintendo Switch easily outselling the competition. The recently released Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition shot straight to no.1. However, Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition sold a lot less than the vanilla version. That sold 1,148,888 units on Nintendo 3DS and 950,315 units on Sony’s PlayStation 4 during its first two days of release. Here’s the best-sellers:

Well it’s to be expected that most people who love dragon quest will have already played the original release so only a small portion will buy it again. Still that is the biggest new release numbers of any Switch game I’ve seen this year and there generally looks like a bigger move to digital so that will account for a lot as well. The hardware is amazing, especially that the base switch sold more than the lite.
Yay, boobs! Er… I mean… She’s got such lovely eyes! And boobs! Err, I mean..! Her hair is nice! And boobs! Err, I mean..! Such lovely skin & skin tone! And boobs! lol
Glad to see Code Vein is doing well. You know those clowns from ResetEra are frothing at the mouth that a game they find “problematic” is making money. Oh & the ones at Twitter, Polygon, Kotaku, Vice, etc etc.
want this game pretty bad.
