Famitsu<\/a> is back with the latest look at the boxed charts in Japan, and unsurprisingly, Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia<\/a> is still on top by a fair margin.<\/p>\n

That said, its sales have slowed down a little. If you remember, it managed a whopping 114,515 units last week, but this week it’s only managed 48,772. We say “only” like that’s a bad thing, and it really isn’t, but it definitely looks like the momentum is starting to ease up.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection<\/a> makes its debut with 18,238 units sold on Switch, while Super Mario Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition<\/a> also gets off to a reasonable start with 10,158 units sold. Otherwise, Winning Post 10 2026<\/strong> comes in at number eight on the Switch with 4,747 units sold in its opening week.<\/p>\n

There’s very little change with the hardware chart this week; again, sales for the Switch 2 have dropped slightly from last time by just under 16,000 units, but it’s still way<\/em> ahead of the competition.<\/p>\n

Japan is clearly favouring the PS5 Digital Edition at the moment thanks to the cheap, single-language SKU that’s available in the region, but we suspect the other consoles will drop off even more now that prices have gone up.<\/p>\n

All three Switch SKUs this week total 18,542, while the three PS5 SKUs combined total 19,404. A win for the PS5, then! Y’know, if you ignore the Switch 2… Heh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
