The open world action-adventure title is still on top of the weekly Japanese charts by quite a healthy margin.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Realm has sucked up all the oxygen in the room, and it’s no surprise that that has reflected in his sales as well. It sold over 10 million units worldwide in its first three days, and enjoyed similar territory in certain regions as well, topping the weekly Japanese physical charts last week with over 1.1 million units sold. Famitsu has now released the latest weekly charts, and the open world title is still comfortably on top, with over 247,000 physical units sold in its second week.

Interestingly, every game in the top 10 is a Nintendo Switch title, which is not an uncommon occurrence in Japan. The excitement all around Tears of the Kingdom in fact, has continued to trickle down to its predecessor Breath of the Wild also, which is in third place with over 7,000 units sold. Meanwhile, people like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Minecraft, and more also appear in the top 10.

In terms of hardware, the Nintendo Switch remains the best selling console of the week, having moved over 86,000 units. The PS5 follows closely behind, having sold over 37,000 units during the week.
