Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza Japan Sales

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii has shot straight to the top of the latest Japanese sales charts, having launched on the 21st February.

As you may have noticed, we don't write about the charts too often these days — and that's primarily because there's hardly ever anything going on that's relevant to PlayStation. It's nice to see a PS5 and PS4 title shift a respectable number of copies for once.

Majima's mental adventure sold 68,200 units on PS5, and an additional 37,000 on PS4 — which just goes to show how popular the last-gen console still is in Japan. The rest of the top ten is, predictably, dominated by evergreen Nintendo Switch games.

But even with the arrival of a relatively popular PS5 release, the console itself struggled for any kind of boost. The base system did 6,600 units, and the PS5 Pro isn't far behind at 5,200 units.

Of course, all eyes will be on next week's charts, as we'll get an early indication of just how massive Monster Hunter Wilds is in its country of origin. The action RPG is expected to spike PS5 sales, too.
