The latest Japanese Charts are in courtesy of Famitsu and it’s predictably another strong turnout for the Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n

Coming in at number one, Nintendo Switch Sports<\/a> managed to sell an impressive 53,900 units, bringing its total so far to 677,393. Meanwhile, Xenoblade Chronicles 3<\/a> hold strong at the number two slot, though its sales have taken a pretty hefty dive from the previous week, shifting 39,529 units down from 112,728. It’s still a strong number, no question, but it’s clear that a game like Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has a very dedicated fanbase, many of whom are likely to have picked it up within the first week.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, it’s more or less business as usual. Live A Live<\/a> is still performing relatively well, with 20,999 units shifted in the week, while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a> rises a few spots to come in at number three, no doubt bolstered by the recent launch of fresh courses courtesy of the Booster Course Pass Wave 2<\/a> release.<\/p>\n
