While Splatoon 3 still maintains the lead in the Japan game sales charts for the week of October 3-9, 2022, only two new games made it into the Top 30.
Since its Splatoon 3 launch on September 9, no game had been even close to the number of copies sold weekly. In this recently reported sales chart, NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition got second place with 30,218 Switch copies sold. It’s the Nintendo Switch version of the 2017 NieR:Automata action RPG game developed by Platinum Games and published by Square Enix. The amount of game copies sold (30,218) makes up about 25% of the 120,564 Splatoon 3 games sold that week.
Meanwhile, the visual novel and adventure game Hakuouki Shinkai: Tenun no Shou made its debut in 9th place with 5,101 Switch copies sold.
