Destiny 2 debuts atop Japan charts despite modest numbers

Maybe they didn’t like the cringe-inducing Cayde-6

It’s always interesting to see how western shooters fare in Japan. Destiny 2 tops the charts in it’s opening week, but it does so with just 50,263 sales. That’s only about 5,000 more than second-place Splatoon 2, which is nearly two months old now.

Also new are the Switch port of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and that KonoSuba game whose full title with threaten the character limit of this form. I was happy to see 2016’s best game, Hitman: The Complete First Season, crack the top 20.
