Media Create Sales Japan Top 20 - Week #32 2018

Another week, another Media Create sales figure chart! Here's the one for Week #32 2018:

This week sees two new PS4 entries in the top 5 with Yakuza 3 debuting at position #1 and Fire Pro Wrestling: World debuting at position #4. Splatoon 2's sales have been steadily increasing and the title is now at position #2!

The Nintendo Switch has two new titles games that made it to the chart, namely Okami HD (#11) and Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaire's Conspiracy DX (#15). Sony's long forgotten handheld device, the PS Vita, also gets its share with Bullet Girls: Phantasia debuting at #19.

In terms of platforms, Nintendo is still leading the race with 16 out of 20 titles being released on a Nintendo console while only 4 games released on Sony's hardwares feature on the list.

Regarding the hardwares themselves, little change has been observed since last week as can be seen in the chart below. The PS4 and PS Vita both have had a minor increase in their hardware sales. On the other hand, Nintendo's consoles under-sold as both the Switch and 3DS' sales dropped, with the latter having the most significant drop of nearly 2k.
