In reality, reading the top 10 with a minimum of attention you realize that in this case too the various slots are occupied by individual versions rather than by the total preferences for a specific title.

This means that Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth can actually boast almost the same ratings as Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthwhich only confirms the extraordinary popularity of the SEGA franchise at home.

The world upside down?

Likewise, the ranking published by Famitsu seems to go against the trend compared to what has been happening for a long time in the Japanese market, with PlayStation titles outselling Nintendo Switch titles.

However, we know that on a sales level the exact opposite happens from week to week, with a sort of monopoly for the hybrid console from the Kyoto house that has been going on for years.
