It's been a fairly big week for new PS5 games, but they've struggled to have any kind of meaningful impact on the latest Japanese sales charts. Although as always, we should stress that these rankings don't take digital sales into account.
The headliner here has to be Assassin's Creed Shadows, which shifted a meagre 17,700 copies on Sony's system. While Ubisoft's series has never been a heavy hitter in Japan, many expected this latest instalment to have a bit more weight, given that it's set in the country's feudal 16th century.
You may remember that Ghost of Tsushima ended up being a blockbuster in Japan for Sony and Sucker Punch — but it doesn't look like Shadows is going to enjoy anything close to that level of success. A shame, perhaps, given that Japanese reviews have been positive.
