This week, we’re blessed with an early and extended Media-Create top-20 list, thanks to 4Gamer.net. We’ll be using 4Gamer’s charts to provide a look at cumulative sales numbers whenever possible.

 

The best-selling game for the week of August 23rd – 29th, as you might have suspected, was MonHun Nikki Poka Poka Airu Mura. Capcom’s felyne-filled phenomenon sold out in multiple stores within its first week of release and has sold over 256,076 units so far.

 

Following not so closely behind was Ace Combat: Joint Assault at 57,785 units. The top-20 for the week is as follows:
