Retail launch of Pokémon Legends: Z-A in Japan is slightly higher than that of Legends: Arceus

It's the 3rd biggest Pokémon launch for the past decade, only behind Scarlet/Violet & Sun/Moon

+2 million with digital is expected, it'll likely be the best selling game of the year

The original Final Fantasy Tactics is not only the best selling FF spin off, but its also the best selling tactics game of all time in Japan

It also totally kicks ass, play it.
Comparing retail launch sales of the Final Fantasy Tactics remaster in Japan with other FF spin offs of the last 10 years.

Better than Stranger of Paradise, but not much else to say, rather mid launch, but not unexpeced given the "simplicity" of the remaster.
Ghost of Tsushima was the first breakthrough title Sony's had in Japan in ages, selling over a million units with around half of those sales being digital.

Yotei sold out, good digital sales are expected, but even with digital I'd expect launch of Tsushima to be bigger.
Ghost of Yotei had the fifth biggest launch for a PS5 title in Japan yet.

It's the biggest launch for a first party PS title since Gran Turismo 7.

A 43% drop from Ghost of Tsushima, more than I was hoping, but not bad given PS5 game sales

Best selling games for the year so far

No new entries but changes in the order a bit

October is one the biggets months for new releases, we have Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 and Ghost of Youtei (2nd) Pokémon Legends ZA (16th) and Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake (30th)
There's been some issues with the site the past few weeks, some pages not displaying data properly

All that should be resolved and things should work smoothly going foward

Say, given the 2014 Top 1000 update we got recently, here are the top selling games on PS3 and Xbox One
'm pretty sure its the biggest launch for a non Resident Evil horror game in Japan in a looooooooong time, the closest launch I can think of would be the first Evil Within, and that was 2014.

It's a bigger launch than any Fatal Frame
Let's say launch sales are around 100k, that makes it the series' third best selling game already, behind the first game (293k) and the original Silent Hill 2 (130k), no other Silent Hill game has sold more than 100k in Japan.
Retail launch sales of Silent Hill f in Japan are the third highest of the series, only below the first couple of games.

Most likely the series biggest launch with digital.

About twice as much as last year's Silent Hill 2 remake, which already outsold.
Game Sales (Sep 22 - Sep 28)
1[PS5] Silent Hill f - 57.475 / NEW
2[SW2] Mario Kart World - 35.027 / 1.801.323
3[PS5] EA Sports FC 26 - 11.327 / NEW

Playing on PC I often lower resolution to get better performance, but you can only play 900p on Windowed?

Why doesn't the PC have all the DualSense features, come on. I'm also playing Donkey Kong Bananza and it's so lame to go back to simple rumble.
