Cyberpunk 2077 launched in Japan better than The Witcher 3, but failed to break into the first place in the charts

Role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077 from the studio CD Projekt RED launched in second place on the Japanese boxed charts with sales in 104,687 copies on Playstation 4… This was reported by the edition Famitsu

Previous major game of Polish developers, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, debuted in Japan on PlayStation 4 with significantly lower sales – 67,458 copies… However, retailers fear that negative reviews for the console version of Cyberpunk 2077 will lead to a rapid decline in demand.

The first place in the Japanese charts continues to occupy Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban! from Konami for Nintendo Switch – Including digital sales, this is the company’s most successful game in the Japanese region over the past 20 years. Nintendo itself hasn’t released any blockbusters for the start of the Christmas season this year, so Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban! occupied a free niche and became a major bestseller.

The rest of the charts are mainly made up of old games, the demand for which is actively growing during the holiday period. For example sales Super Smash Bros. Ultimate increased in comparison with the previous week immediately by 77%, a Mario kart 8 deluxe – on 38%… It is also interesting that Pikmin 3 Deluxebeing reissued with Wii U, diverges at the level of last year’s new adventure game Luigi’s Mansion 3

General Japanese sales Ring fit adventure should exceed the mark in the next week 2 million copies
