This week's hardware sales

Here we are at week #9 2018 for the Media Create Japan Top 20 Sales chart!
Monster Hunter World still sits at the top of the chart, but I think this may be its last week at #1 - with an impressive 1.9million units sold at retail. Dragon Quest Builders for the Switch debuts at #2, but look at that low number, not even reaching 30k! That's how easy it is to chart in Japan in the current climate.
The Nintendo Switch trio of titles; Splatoon 2, Mario Kart and Zelda, have slowly been creeping up the charts these last few weeks, and now take positions 3, 4 and 5. Nintendo now has 13 slots of the top 20 overall. Switch hardware is also doing well, moving nearly 50k units.
