The latest Japanese charts are in courtesy of Famitsu<\/a> (thanks, Gematsu<\/a>) and it’s once again Pikmin 4<\/a> that takes home the crown with an additional 69,989 in unit sales. This takes the game’s total sales to a rather ominous-looking 666,377.<\/p>\n

Following this, we’ve got Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a> taking second place, with Tears of the Kingdom<\/a> settling for third this week. We’ve got no new titles to speak of, with the usual suspects making up the remaining seven positions.<\/p>\n
