Those MHW numbers are crazy.

But if you look a little further, it's easy to find some surprising games in the top 20 ... Because of how anemic the market is.

Kerotan · Sep 3, 2019

Thanks Chris.

The ps4 dominating the number of entries. Personally I'm impressed with black ops and spiderman. Obviously monster Hunter is a beast.

That one should be in the non simultaneous releases category

cvxfreak · Sep 3, 2019

Resident Evil: Revelations was the second best-selling RE in Japan in 2018.

Oregano · Sep 3, 2019

Switch multiplats seems to be pulling their weight even if the PS4 versions sell more but it seems evident that being a later release is hhaving a massive impact. I would say we should less of that going forward but we shouldn't still be seeing late releases in 2019 in the first place.
