Overall video games sales in Japan took a dip this week, and the only significant new release had poor performance. Despite opening in the top 5, LEGO Worlds failed to eclipse even 12,000 sales. The only other new title to rank is a pet game, who just sneaks into the top 20 with 3,631 units.
A possible cause for lower sales and lack of major titles releasing this past week could be due to the new season. Cherry blossom trees began their week-or-so-long bloom around the country last week, which coincides with the new school/working year in Japan. That is no accident, as the blooming cherry blossoms (sakura) signify new beginnings, and thus is when school years begin, people enter new jobs, and as a result many move. I figure it must play a factor.
