Japan: Current Hardware and Software Rankings (Week 45/2023) – ntower

Another week is over and we go back to looking at the sales figures in the land of the Rising Sun. Looking at the hardware charts, you immediately notice that the PlayStation 5 has managed to recover from the low of recent weeks and is now back at the top. On the software side, a similar picture emerges compared to the previous week: many new games pushing the usual titles down in the rankings. The most important new releases are Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, both not for Nintendo Switch.

Here you can see them complete Japan Charts from 6 November 2023 to 12 November 2023.
