Image: Square Enix<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe latest Japanese boxed charts are here (albeit slightly late this week) and there’s no change for the top two spots, with Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet and Splatoon 3 sitting comfortably in their usual positions. Scarlet and Violet are very close to crossing the 4 million sales mark, and we wouldn’t be surprised if it hasn’t already achieved such a milestone by the time you’re reading this.<\/p>\n
Crisis Core – Final Fantasy VII – Reunion made its debut, coming in at number three, four, and five for the PS5, PS4, and Switch versions respectively. Adding up sales across all three platforms, the game managed a total of 156,530 units sold, which is genuinely fantastic for a spin-off title.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is closing in on 5 millions units sold with a current total of 4,972,488, and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is hanging in there at number ten on the charts, selling 15,060 units this week to make up an ongoing total of 46,173.<\/p>\n
