Japanese media Famitsu released a list of Japanese game software and hardware sales in a week, to tell the truth, this kind of nonsense news editor I don't want to send, it is simply a waste of my youth. Because any player can guess what game is selling best: Eldon's Ring of Law! (Funny emoticons)
This week, "Old Man Ring" occupied the first and second places in the software sales list, the best selling was the PS4 version of "Old Man Ring", followed by the PS5 version of "Old Man Ring". It is worth mentioning that the two games sold 278,000 copies within three days of release, which also made it The most successful game for FromSoftware to launch in Japan to date, surpassing Blood curse, Dark Souls 3 and Wolf.
There's a new game that also made it to the TOP10 list, and that's Koei Tecmo's Sophie's Alchemy Workshop 2: The Alchemist of Incredible Dreams," and while I don't know if the Alchemy Workshop series is fun, I know its title is bound to be long (funny). Among them, the PS4 version of "Sophie's Alchemy Workshop 2" ranked fourth, and the Switch version of the game ranked fifth. The combined sales of both versions of the game exceeded 40,000 copies.
In terms of hardware, thanks to the release of "Old Man Ring", PS5 sales have increased, selling more than 17,000 copies last Monday. Switch sales remain significantly ahead, selling more than 70,000 units on Monday.
