Software Sales in Japan – S50, Yokai Watch 2 in another world



This time we invite you to take stock of game sales in Japan and note once again that certain licenses benefit from a real aura to be sold by the pallet on the archipelago.

As you will see by browsing the ranking below, this is the case of Yokai Watch 2: Shinuchi which to properly celebrate its release, crossed the million mark of games sold without flinching. A mind-blowing feat which alone illustrates the scope of the franchise on the archipelago.

Behind, Pokemon tries to resist but finds itself relegated to more than a million units from the leader and it is the same with the release of the Next-Gen version of Grand Theft Auto 5, which as you might expect makes almost all of its sales on the Sony console. In fact, the version Xbox One of the title does not even manage to appear in the top 20 of the week and illustrates all the distress of the Microsoft machine in the country.
