Today's issue of Weekly Famitsu include the digital sales data for Japan for the month of February, finally giving us a complete look at how the most relevant games released last month did in the archipelago of the rising sun.
Last month's ranking had a few strange elements due to the fact that three games were priced at 100 yen, Assassin's Creed Unity and Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag due to a sale to celebrate the launch of the Assassin's Creed movie, and Grasshopper Manufacture's Let it Die.
Of course, those topped the chart for digital sales, but the best selling full-priced games were NiOh and NieR: Automata.
Here's the chart related to the period between January 30th and February 26th.
- Assassin's Creed Unity (PS4) - 133,943
- Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag (PS4) - 126,689
- Let it Die (PS4) - 63,675
- NiOh (PS4) - 43,724
- NieR: Automata (PS4) - 38,180
- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege (PS4) - 23,645
- Super Robot Wars V (PS4) - 17,904
- For Honor (PS4) - 14,627
- Super Robot wars V (PS Vita) - 10,851
- Dragon Quest Monster Joker 3 Professional (3DS) - 8,776
Summed with Famitsu's figures for retail sales, NieR: Automata is crowned best selling game in Japan in February, with 220,942 units sold, followed by NiOh with 179,437. Dragon Quest Monster Joker 3 Professional, that didn't do very well on the digital market (Japanese Nintendo fans don't seem to have embraced digital like PlayStation ones), came in third, with 151,527 copies sold.
