Dragon Quest XI Toppled on Japanese Sales Chart by ‘Undertale’!

Recently, Sony Interactive Entertainment released their weekly sales chart for its PS4 downloads in Japan, related to the period between August 14th and August 20th.

For the first time in four weeks, Dragon Quest XI has finally been deposed from its top spot, falling to fourth place and overthrown by Toby Fox’s Undertale.

Indie RPG Undertale takes the top spot!

Undertale also managed to pass three more Dragon Quest titles; Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line, Dragon Quest X: All-in-One Package and Dragon Quest.

  1. Undertale
  2. Dragon Quest II

Undertale has proved to be a winner in Japan with no higher public acclaim there than beating four Dragon Quest games. That said, Square Enix still gets the bragging rights of having four games in the top-five.

Despite being available only digitally, Sonic Mania appears to have had a weak launch. Apparently, Sega needs more than a nostalgic game to move the Japanese audience back into the Sonic fold.

It’s also worth mentioning that it was only digital sales for Dragon Quest XI that were toppled, as its 3DS and PS4 versions remained at the top of the Media Create charts for physical retail sales. The PS4 itself also jumped back on top of the week, beating both the 3DS and the Switch, selling  34,688,  34,596  and  22,277  units respectively.

While PS4 and 3DS remained relatively stable in the second half of the Obon shopping period, the Switch ran out of steam once more, probably affected by more shortages following the relatively larges shipment that Nintendo managed to pump into the market alongside Splatoon 2.
