Monster Hunter: World continues to impress after its launch, as it has taken the top spot of the Japanese sales chart for this week. The recently remastered Secret of Mana also had a good week, as it slid into the second spot on the charts underneath the monster hunting title. As far as hardware goes, the PlayStation 4 reigned supreme this week, just barely outselling the Nintendo Switch, which continues to do well in almost every market.
