The latest Japanese Charts are in, and since the region recently celebrated its annual Golden Week holiday, we're covering two weeks' worth of sales from 22nd April to 5th May 2024.

The PS5 exclusive Stellar Blade managed to come out on top with a total of 67,131 sales, while Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes on Switch managed to sell 46,729 copies. If you add in the PS5 sales of the game, however, the Rabbit and Bear Studios-developed title shifted 66,163 copies, coming ruddy close to Stellar Blade's total.
