The new parts of the series of baseball games from Konami Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball tops the list and a good number in the fact that this year doesn't witness the release of the version of PlayStation 3, but the versions of PlayStation 4 and the Vita were enough to compensate for that absence someway "the last part achieved an opening reached to 240 thousand copies," a remarkable performance of God of War with its second week and the game is going to sell more than 100 thousand copies, an excellent number of the series in the Japanese markets.

A very disappointing performance of Nintendo Labo with its second week and it does not seem that the game will be a great success if the figures do not improve on the holiday week, Kirby continues to do its strong performance as well as Splatoon 2. While the new versions of Switch games like Naruto achieved very average results.
