Top Japan: Warriors Orochi 4 is the Most Successful Debut of the Week

A week full of news, with FIFA 19 as the most popular western premiere.

One more week, Media Create (via Gematsu ) shares the list of video game sales and entertainment hardware in Japan. This time, the ranking is led by Warriors Orochi 4, which has sold considerably more copies of PS4 (100,831) than in Nintendo Switch (26,660). The Legend of Heroes follows Trails of Cold Steel IV, whose western version has not yet been detailed; as well as a FIFA 19 that debuts with 57.772 units sold, less than the ones that PES 19 garnered in its debut.

Among other notable releases, we find Dragon Ball Fighter Z, which finally arrives at Nintendo Switch; as well as the reissue The World Ends with You – Final Remix – and a Valkyria Chronicles 4 that has not even been able to sneak into the top 10 in its version for Switch, with 5,596 units sold. Few surprises in the console landscape: the Nintendo hybrid machine is still shipping in Japanese stores, and with a substantial difference compared to its most direct competitor.
