MediaCreate’s weekly sales chart from March 21st to March 27th “Kirby Discovery” topped the first three weeks

Bahamut GNN cooperates with MediaCreate, a Japanese game industry analysis company, to publish weekly sales rankings of home game console game software in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea surveyed and counted by MediaCreate for players’ reference.

This week, there were two strong new games to grab the market before the end of the fiscal year at the end of March, namely “Kirby Discovery”, which swept the champions of the three places, and “Ghost Line: Tokyo”, a new urban supernatural style exclusive to PS5. After its listing, “Ayrden’s Circle”, which caused a wave of topics and upsurges, continued to sell well in Japan and Taiwan. “Final Fantasy Origins of Stranger in Paradise”, which won the championship in Japan and Taiwan when it was listed the previous week, quickly subsided and was no longer on the list that week. Due to the weak durability of other recent new works, many old faces including “Minecraft”, “Fitness Ring”, “Machine 8” and so on have raised their heads again.

The Japanese sales list was won by the new work “Kirby of the Stars”, inheriting the cute and friendly classic characters, plus the first introduction of the open world 3D action gameplay, which has made great achievements in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea. “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Edition”, which is about to turn 5 years old at the end of April, went straight to the runner-up with the additional track DLC, which is a model of old age. “Pokémon Legend of Arceus” fell back to third place. The long-awaited “Minecraft” is on the list again, and it is also a veteran. Although “Ayrden’s Circle” is at the top, it is quite rare that it is still on the list for the full moon.

The Taiwan sales list is also topped by “Kirby Star Discovery”, which is as popular in Taiwan as the style and gameplay of the Switch group. The runner-up was won by the new work “Ghost Line: Tokyo”. This unique work with a strong Japanese urban legend atmosphere is more popular in Taiwan and South Korea. I wonder if it has something to do with the epidemic blocking the tourism pipeline? The PS5/PS4 dual version of “Ayrden Circle” performed better than last week, taking the third and fourth places respectively.Another Taiwanese list that has not appeared often “ring” Department (?) work “Fitness Ring Adventure” is back again.
