Getting comfy? Our weekly Japanese charts update certainly is. For the second week in a row, it’s an all-Switch Top Ten with Nintendo Switch Sports<\/a> still comfortably at the top of the charts during the week of 23rd May – 29th May.<\/p>\n

It’s going to be a sticker, this one, and Switch Sports now surpassed the 400,000 sales mark, selling another 32,321 units. Kirby and the Forgotten Land<\/a> has managed to leapfrog back into second place with a further 12,720 sales.<\/p>\n

There’s only one new entry into the top ten this week with Idea Factory’s otome Radiant Tale<\/strong>, which debuts in fourth with a pretty respectable 7,311 sales.<\/p>\n

Here’s the list in full:<\/p>\n

    \n

    \n

    The hardware sales paint a very familiar picture, too. The Switch OLED and original models retain the top two spots, and the PlayStation 5 stays comfortably in third ahead of the Switch Lite. There are ongoing stock issues for next-generation consoles, but the PS5 is hanging in there, and with tonight’s State of Play, perhaps there will be even more reason for people to pick up Sony’s console.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Switch OLED Model \u2013 30,702 (1,829,023)<\/li>\n
    2. Switch \u2013 21,612 (18,327,035)<\/li>\n
    3. PlayStation 5 \u2013 13,495 (1,411,378)<\/li>\n
    4. Switch Lite \u2013 8,563 (4,734,788)<\/li>\n
    5. Xbox Series S \u2013 1,654 (113,227)<\/li>\n
    6. PlayStation 5 Digital Edition \u2013 1,335 (238,567)<\/li>\n
    7. Xbox Series X \u2013 887 (101,322)<\/li>\n
    8. New 2DS LL (including 2DS) \u2013 164 (1,186,379)<\/li>\n
    9. PlayStation 4 \u2013 16 (7,819,584)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
