Couple of weeks?  That's on the next Famitsu report.  And that's just physical copies too.

Pretty soon AC:NH will be competing with only the likes of Mario and Pokemon for the top 8 spots all time on the Japan charts. Can't wait to see it rocket to #1 all time!

  • Animal Crossing already sold more than the combined total of the two top titles of 2019 - Pokemon Sword / Shield & Smash Ultimate 
  • 7 weeks until the end of the Quarter there is a great chance we surpass last year's Top 10 Total, only 2.1M left
  • Animal Crossing at this point might be around 5M by the end of June... 
  • Ring Fit Adventure finally getting stock, if there is enough we can see it above 500K by mid-year
  • Splatoon 2 replaces Luigi's Mansion 3 in the Top 10, should remain there until Xenoblade 
  • Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is moving in on that 4th spot, continues to outperform Smash & Minecraft this year

How many games even managed to sell over 4M in Japan?

That's quite a bit more than I expected. Though with the Pokemon titles, that should have been expected. And Mario, and Animal Crossing. Probably not too many of those not from Nintendo themselves

With a google search I got this page from 2012:
https://soranews24.com/2012/07/08/japans-best-selling-video-games-of-all-time/

Non-Nintendo/Pokemon:

FF7 (4M)
DQ7 (4.14M)
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (4.16M)
DQ9 (4.3M)
Monster Hunter 3rd (4.7M)

Also this 3DS game released since 2012:
Monster Hunter 4 (4.1M)

I believe every other 4M+ seller is Nintendo/Pokemon.
