Japanese Charts: FIFA 22’s Legacy Edition Is Switch’s Best-Seller Of The Week

Famitsu’s Japanese chart figures are now in for the week ending 3rd October, revealing that FIFA 22 is Switch’s best-selling game of the week.

Despite selling better on PS4, Switch’s Legacy edition of the game shifted 13,385 physical units across the country in its opening week. It outsold other newcomer Melty Blood: Type Lumina to get there, as well as Switch’s evergreen hits like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which only managed eighth place this week.

A number of new PS4 games have dominated proceedings, with Sony’s console taking the top four positions. Falcom’s The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki took top spot with just over 50,000 sales.

Here are the top ten (first numbers are this week’s estimated sales, followed by total sales):

1. [PS4] The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki (Falcom, 09/30/21) – 50,114 (New)
