Famitsu Sales: Week 21, 2026 (May 18 - May 24)

[Norion]

I didn't think the Switch 2 would be even higher this month but man that price increase caused a absolute ton of panic buying. Its baseline going forward might end up only being decent in say the 25-35k range but for this year that's not a big deal after such a strong first 5 months and it having a week where it has 8 of the top 10 software before it turns a year old is really quite impressive. PS5 is the same as usual lately being consistently up YoY though the Switch 1 collapsed a week earlier than expected for whatever reason. This could mean its new baseline is even lower than 9k so even though recent history shows you can never fully count out the Switch over there this is looking like it'll finally be it for the console selling decently in Japan.
