The success of Hogwarts Legacy can be attributed to its Harry Potter roots, which have garnered a lot of positive reception in Japan. There is even a TV segment dedicated to the game. It is currently topping the best-seller list on Amazon Japan, not just in the overall category, but also among the best-selling games for the PS5.

This abrakdabra shit is popular in every part of the world.
It’s even more popular than super hero spandex shit, and you know how big that is.

Next week famitsu charts will be interesting.

PS5 sales increase is something global and related to the increase of shipments, not to the release of this game. The increase already started before.

I don't know guys. Let's wait for more reports?

Has someone read that unique comment in that article from a japanese guy (allegedly) ?

Nobody actually plays this currently in Japan.

It's ironic that the people that use this term actually are the definition of the word.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

The Japanese are the types of people to run head first into where Platform 9¾ is situated and end up in the emergency room on their British holiday.


Harry Potter doesn't represent the UK like they think it does.

Then they go on to list last weeks sales which did not include Hogwarts...

Ye, but its all over Hollywood and most of the entertainment biz, so...very noisy

Japan seems to enjoy trolling transactivists as much as we do /s

Oh soz.....I mean,I am technically a bigot and a transphobe as I don't believe men can turn into women,lol.

Just wait until we get the switch demake, then it will literally fly off the shelves.

I'm honestly hoping they're delaying so it can get polished up for the Switch; a little effort like that which was put into Nier: Automata and Persona 5 (not to mention Dragon Quest XI) goes a loooong way with the Switch crowd.

But you're only a bigot if you hate people that disagree with your views
