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

[Sephiran]

Best selling Switch 2 games in Japan vs best selling PS5 games in Japan:

Switch 2:
1: Mario Kart World.
2: Pokemon Legends Z-A.
3: Pokopia.
4: Kirby Air Riders.
5: Donkey Kong Bananza.
6: Momotaro Densetsu.
7: Dragon Quest VII Reimagined.
8: Mario Party Jamboree.
9: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment.
10: Dragon Quest 1+2 HD.

PS5:
1: Monster Hunter Wilds.
2: FF XVI.
3: Gran Turismo 7.
4: FF7 Rebirth.
5: Marvel's Spiderman 2.
6: Dragon Quest 3 HD.
7: Ghost of Yotei.
8: RE9 Requiem.
9: Hogwarts Legacy.
10: Horizon Forbidden west.

From that list we can see that there is very little overlap between the Switch 2 audience and PS5 audience in Japan in terms of preferences, the only overlap is that both consoles have a big JRPG fanbase, other than that Switch 2 would trend much more social/life sim, party games, platformers, while PS5 would trend much more AAA, big budget releases. PS5 also has a much bigger audience for western games than Switch 2 while Switch 2 is much more heavily dominated by Japanese games.
