After last week's stellar debut, you might have assumed that Monster Hunter Wilds sales would have slowed down a little in Japan. Slow down they have, but Capcom's latest is still a long way from having its throne usurped.
According to Famitsu's latest numbers, Wilds shifted an additional 101,058 on PS5 in its second week, keeping it firmly in pole position. That's despite an admirable effort from Suikoden I & II HD Remaster, which managed to sell 38,884 on Switch and 10,482 on PS5 in its chart debut — in any other week, that might have even secured the win.

For the full breakdown, here's a look at the latest top ten:
Much like last week, those booming Monster Hunter Wilds sales have secured the PS5 a place at the top spot of the hardware chart once again, with the Switch OLED following in second.
Combining the Switch and PS5's respective SKUs still leans things in Sony's favour, with the PS5 sales adding up to 52,520 and the Switch coming in with 37,841. Let's see whether Xenoblade can shake things up in a couple of weeks.
