The two Japanese action games "Rise of the Ronin" and "Dragon Creed 2", which were released on the same day (3.22), have a good reputation in the Japanese market. However, in terms of sales, it seems that "Rise of the Ronin", which is based on feudal Japan as a historical background, is more favored by Japanese players.
According to Japanese media Famitsu statistics, the physical sales of "Ronin Rising" in Japan reached 84,000, surpassing "Dragon Dogma 2", which was 77,000 units.
In addition, Rise of the Ronin also sold more than Team Ninja's own last game, Wo Long: Skyfall, which sold only 47,831 physical games in its first week of the day.
In terms of digital sales, Ronin Rise managed to reach the top of the paid games chart on PlayStation (Japan) in the second week of its release. It's worth mentioning that the game didn't reach the top of the charts until the first week before its release, which may be the power of word-of-mouth.
