The main sensation was Pokemon Pokopia. The game had a strong start and exceeded 500 thousand copies sold in Japan in just a few days. This result shows the high interest of the audience and suggests that the project may become one of the main hits of the first months on the new console.
As a reminder, Resident Evil Requiem took first place last week — the PS5 version sold 155,373 copies, which is three times less.
