Rise of the Ronin Sales

Rise of the Ronin has once again done reasonably well for itself in the latest Japanese sales charts. The current PS5 exclusive launched a few weeks back, but unlike fellow action RPG Dragon's Dogma 2, it's been able to stick in the top ten since its release. It sold an additional 12,000 copies at retail, bringing its physical total up to 97,000 sales.

Don't get us wrong, it's nothing amazing, but it's just nice to see some PlayStation software hanging around charts that are so often utterly dominated by Nintendo Switch titles. We're starting to wonder how long it'll be able to stay up there.

Meanwhile, the PS5 is still on the road to reaching 6 million units, which will be something of a landmark for the current-gen system as it continues to outpace the PS4.
