Japan Sales Charts: Stellar Blade PS5 Sales Hold Strong 1

We all know retail PS5 software sales are pretty poor in Japan right now, so it’s a testament to Shift Up’s character action outing that Stellar Blade’s actually doing decently. The Korean outing tagged another 13,033 units to its total for the week ending 12th May, lifting its lifetime sales up to 80,164 units overall. With digital numbers excluded, that’s not a bad number at all.

Unfortunately, this was a weak week for hardware. PS5 could only manage 21,518 units in the aftermath of Golden Week, although the ageing Nintendo Switch was also below its unstoppable best at just 47,064 units for the same period.
