Momotaro taking the top spot against Switch's first party heavy hitters is impressive.
Switch was 113k in Week 1 last year, so this is a strong hold.



Pikmin 4 is doing really really well. We should expect big things for Pikmin 5

Nice start for the Switch. Didn't expected whole november and december to not be able to make over 100k weekly, but then in January on the very start of the month and the year to hit over 100k.

I feel like for the PS5, there is no holiday period, no winter, no summer, everytime it's sales are all the same .. It doesn't move.

Also interesting feat continues between the XBSX and PS4, maybe I should've done this comparison again for this year. It is looking even more close than the last one.

I expect the PS5 will go down to 15-20k after FFVII rebirth and Rise of the Ronin has launched. After Q1 the Japanese gamer will face a drought, until Dragon Quest, Ghost of Tsushima 2 and Monster Hunter will launch, most likely all these titles won't launch this year. The Switch still has plenty of releases ahead that the Japanese market likes.

Oh, I was initially wondering why it's 113k, but then I noticed 'Last YTD' totals and realized that they are comparing it to the second week from last year because the extra week.

I'm so happy to see Mario RPG doing great.



SMWonder really killed sales for NSMBU same as SM3DW killed SMOdyssey sales and TOTK with BOTW... all in for the new

the same doe snot apply to Mario Party game's, they can coexist



Switch!!!

It's really weird how to the Last YTD includes two weeks to this year's one week, it skews the comparison between years. Guess I'll have to wait for @ShadowLink93 's table each week to get an accurate comparison.



Signature goes here!

Clubhouse Games selling more than Tears of the Kingdom isn't something I would have expected this week...

You always expect the PS5 to crash. Even though it shows that it can surpass the PS3 in sales
