don't Know  looking at past famitsu threads i see 

Week 36

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R
Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness
Week 37
Splatoon 3
Alice Gear Aegis CS: Concerto of Simulatrix
Week 38
Dragon Quest X: Rise of the Five Tribes Offline

Splatoon 3 is the one that stands out



I actually can't believe the Switch will end up being Japan's best selling gaming system of all time. I never would have imagined the DS could be surpassed

Oh and if you take out the Switch Lite, it has already beaten the PS2 as the best selling home console system of all time. Amazing!

Splatoon 3 OLED Model in the week that the Switch sold 113k and then Splatoon 3 itself two weeks later when the Switch sold 182k.

Kinda makes me excited to see if Super Mario Wonder has the power to make similar numbers for the hardware on it's release weekend ...



Switch Friend Code : 3905-6122-2909 

Top 21 all on Switch and FF16 nearly out of the top 30.
It might take til the next Monster Hunter to get a PS5 game with physical legs in Japan.



Those PS5 game sales really makes my think that over 75% of PS5 systems are going to Chiba these days...



Switch!!!

yeah probably. PS5 games sales are non-existent. Wouldn't be surprised if actual PS5 hardware sales to Japanese people has in reality been under 20k this whole time.



Great to see Gran turismo and Miles morales in the top 30.
Gran turismo physical sales are at 470k (PS5- 330k and PS4- 140k).
Will surpass 500k sold at retail which is pretty good for a PS5 game in Nintendo land (Japan).
