Splatoon 3 dominates, Dragon Quest and Trinity Trigger moderate

Current Japanese sales charts for the week of September 12 to September 18, 2022 are available. Splatoon 3 can defend the top with another 506,610 units. Dragon Quest doesn’t stand a chance either.

The offline version of Dragon Quest X starts at the next levels with the different platform versions. The numbers are hard to compare because the game itself is old on the one hand, and the download numbers are much larger than they used to be on the other. You can still find the comparison with other remakes and new editions at Game Data Library.

With Trinity Trigger, there’s another newcomer in seventh place. The new FuRyu RPG with the big names only sold 6,698 times. Let’s see how it goes in the west, the localization is already confirmed.
