It's Wednesday Folks which can only mean one thing: Media Create has released its weekly sales charts of the Japanese market. For the week starting February 20, 2017, and ending February 26th, the top down on the hardware front was once again the PS4. Meanwhile, on the software front, where things tend to be a bit more surprising, Square Enix and PlatinumGames' new action RPG NieR: Automata came out on top.
All the new additions to this week’s top 20, include: NieR: Automata (number 1), Super Robot Wars V (both number 2 and 3), Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 3 Ultimate (number 5), The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 (number 7), Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection Review (number 12).
