In Detective Pikachu Returns, Japan is conquered! The game enters the sales rankings at the top

I don’t think anyone would dare to say that there is a lack of decent game premieres these days. In fact, every week since the end of the holidays, we have seen at least 2-3 quality premieres per week. And that’s a lot, considering that some of them offer us at least several dozen hours of fun.

This, of course, applies to the whole world – although genre preferences may be completely different. Nevertheless, it was clearly visible in the last sales ranking from Japan, where it was almost completely dominated by new products. Interestingly, the situation did not change much last week and we can again talk about the advantage of new products. Anyway, look for yourself !
