It's a bit weird to look at the latest Japanese software charts and see a new game like Ghost Recon: Wildlands sitting pretty at the top, but that's what we're dealing with this week. Ubisoft's open world stealth-shooter hybrid parachuted in at number one, selling a respectable 89,791 copies. It even managed to beat Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix, which debuted in second with 62,770 copies sold.

Elsewhere, both Horizon: Zero Dawn and NieR: Automata sales continue to tick along at a steady rate - the latter has actually outsold The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at this point, which is impressive. Meanwhile, on the hardware front, the PlayStation 4 remains in second place as the Nintendo Switch continues its early life at the top.
