Super Smash Bros. Ultimate continues its cavalcade this week, passing two million units sold in stride in less than a month, which is really pretty impressive. Of course, large Switch ales came in tow, and essentially flat compared to the previous week.
Dragon Quest Builders 2 had a solid debut both on PS4 and Nintendo Switch, selling about 13,000 copies more on Sony’s console.
Other debuts included Onimusha: Warlords which didn’t do too badly on PS4 for an HD remaster, considering that Japanese gamers tend to ignore those. It didn’t rank in the top-twenty for Switch. Nintendo fans likely had more compelling games to spend their money on.
Super Neptunia RPG had a rather weak launch on PS4, but still better than the Switch version, which didn’t rank at all. This is slightly peculiar, considering that the PS4 version was censored compared to the one on Nintendo’s console.
