【ソフト&ハード週間販売数】『マリオカート ワールド』が10度目の首位獲得! 鉄道運転シミュレーション『鉄道にっぽん!RealPro 東京-神奈川! 東急電鉄 編』もランクイン【8/18~8/24】 | ゲーム・エンタメ最新情報のファミ通.com

[Weekly Software & Hardware Sales] "Mario Kart World" tops the charts for the 10th time! Train driving simulation game "Railway Nippon! RealPro Tokyo-Kanagawa! Tokyu Corporation Edition" also makes the list [8/18-8/24]



Famitsu's sales rankings. This time, we bring you a summary of estimated weekly sales figures for game software and hardware from August 18th to August 24th, 2025 in Japan.

Mario Kart World, in its 12th week since release, sold 30,202 units, making it the top seller for the 10th time. The Previous installment Mario Kart 8 Deluxe also continues to grow in sales, coming in at 4th place, eight years after its release.

In second place was Donkey Kong Country: Bananza and in third place was Minecraft, while in seventh and eighth place were Super Mario Party Jamboree and Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV .

If you own the Nintendo Switch version you can play the latter with an upgrade pass (2,000 yen [tax included]), so it seems that many users decided to buy it in anticipation of eventually purchasing a Nintendo Switch 2.

Among them, one that caught my eye was Railway Nippon! RealPro Tokyo-Kanagawa! Tokyu Corporation Edition, which came in at number 10. This is a simulation game that lets you experience driving a train with powerful live-action footage shot from the driver's seat of an actual train.

This is the third installment in the series, and it features three lines owned by Tokyu Corporation (Toyoko Line, Denentoshi Line, and Oimachi Line).

Very low stock for Switch 2 this week. Switch is relatively stable at 17.9k this week. PS5 near its lowest weekly sales of the year with 6.4k. Not a very good week at all.



Signature goes here!

With the holidays gone this was expected tho..






Donkey Kong *Country* Bananza? (Typo in sales charts?) Also, no idea what’s up with NS2. Seeing that NSW sales are up WoW, I can only assume shortage of supply.

From what I am reading there was next to no stock for the Switch 2.

...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

That seems concerning with such low numbers for Switch 2 this week. Is it for sure stock issues?
Hopefully we get some more release dates soon.

Give how absurdly high, the recent numbers for the US are, I would think so. Is anyone in Japan that can confirm this?

I think so considering the last report mentioned the Switch 2 sold almost 180K in a 2 week period of time.
