Japanese Charts: Sega’s Latest ‘Demon Slayer’ Kicks Mario Kart World Into Second
By Famitsu has provided the latest look at the Japanese boxed charts, and it’s Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2 that’s taken the top spot this week on the Switch. It’s only just beat Mario Kart World, but if you also take into account the PS5 sales at number five, then its lead is considerably more substantial.
We’ve got a few new releases this week, including the boxed version of Castlevania Advance Collection at number seven. Meanwhile, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is also performing well, resulting in yet another week in which two MK titles have made the top ten. Remarkable.
