Sick beat
Famitsu has provided the latest figures for boxed sales in Japan covering the two weeks from 3rd August to 16th August.
Surprising no one, Nintendo is still absolutely dominating, with Game Freak’s Beast of Reincarnation the only title representing the PS5 in the top ten. Otherwise, Rhythm Heaven Groove leads the pack with another 139,363 sales, followed by Splatoon Raiders at 64,921.
