Famitsu Sales: Week 22, 2025 (May 26 - Jun 01)

[Norion]

The Switch has its lowest week ever for its final week to itself but the fact it has never dropped below 20k a single time since early March 2017 is an incredible achievement. It will happen for the first time soon but without the Switch 2 it would've probably kept that streak going until some time next year which really shows just how insane its legs have been in Japan until recently. Starting next week it's gonna be the Switch 2 show for a long time but it'll still be interesting to see how it fares for the rest of this year until sales for it basically die some point next year.

Also this should be the last time a PS4 game charts in the top 3. Most Japanese games will be releasing on both Switch's for at least a couple years so that'll be even more game versions on the charts for a while and with how low software sales have gotten for the PS4 it'll still be really hard for games skipping Nintendo to chart that high for it in the coming months. In fact I dunno if there's gonna be any more notable Japanese games releasing on the PS4 but neither Switch. Nightreign looks to be the last one for that as far as I can tell. The PS4 charting that high despite being 11.5 years old shows that the Switch could be charting that high till the 2030's.
