Nintendo’s Princess Peach Showtime is the first game in over 25 years directed by Goemon designer Etsunobu Ebisu, it’s been revealed.
In terms of game software sales, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth ranks first with 310,596 copies, followed by Princess Peach Showtime! was in second place with 104,820 units, and Rise of the Ronin was in third place with 84,785 units.
In addition, Dragon's Dogma 2 and Unicorn Overlord also made it into the ranking, making the top 5 monthly software titles all new titles for the first time in 2 years and 5 months.
What’s the total I want to know? Like it could be slow sales for that month. I’m hoping it’s total is better than FF16.
Rise of the Ronin, Rebirth and Unicorn Overlord are all fantastic games that I would recommend to anyone one.
Don't listen to the BS about Ronin it's fantastic.
"Princess Peach Showtime!" is an action game starring Princess Peach from the "Super Mario" series remained strong, selling 19,612 copies. Cumulative sales reached a record 124,432 units, ranking first for three consecutive weeks.

3.65 million PC and console games were sold across the UK during March, an impressive rise of 26% over the same period in 2023. Dragons Dogma 2 and Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth also perform strongly, while hardware sales continue to fall.
"After eight weeks, the game's sales are now trending ahead of where Spider-Man 2 (Sony's last big release) was after the same length of time. They are, of course, very different games, with Spider-Man 2 retailing at £70 and only releasing on PS5. Helldivers 2 has a lower price and is also available on PC."
wow! never expected Helldivers 2 to be this big hit. congrats to the devs and Sony :)
It's no surprise software sales were better in March compared to February. There were some strong releases such as Dragons Dogma 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Arrowhead has been very active with content and event updates in Helldivers 2 which is live service done right.
It seems the sale on Hogwarts Legacy gave the game a second wind as it still managed to score in the top 10. $30 on steam and $35 on PSN.
All consoles also saw an increase in units sold compared to February.
It's nice seeing the PlayStation Portal continuing to surprise so many people with its demand.
Man, put Legend of the Mystical Ninja on Nintendo Switch Online, right now! It was one of my favorite SNES platformers, a blast to play on co-op! The N64 one wasn't great, but I'd still take it on NSO.
