We have a turn-up for the books in the weekly Famitsu charts! Not only are there eight new titles in the software sales category, but Sony has taken a firm grasp of the top ten, with seven of the week’s best sellers releasing on either the PlayStation 4 or 5.<\/p>\n

The best-selling Switch game of the week is SD Gundam Battle Alliance<\/a>, a multiplayer action RPG set in the hugely popular Gundam universe. The game has charted three separate times \u2014 on Switch, PS4, and PS5 \u2014 with the Nintendo release of the game placing in second place right behind Earth Defense Force 6<\/a> on PS4. The Gundam game managed to sell a respectable 38,634 units on its debut on the hybrid console.<\/p>\n

The only other two Switch games amidst the top ten are Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a> and Nintendo Switch Sports<\/a>, at seven and eight respectively. This is the biggest drop for Nintendo Switch Sports since its release. That means Kirby’s Dream Buffet<\/a>, Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak<\/a>, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3<\/a> have slipped out of the top ten.<\/p>\n

Here’s the full top ten for the week of 22nd August to 28th August:<\/p>\n
