It has been another rough post-price-hike<\/a> sales week for Switch 2 in Japan, but Nintendo stays winning on the software side, thanks to Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream<\/a> (thanks, Famitsu<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The wacky life sim added another 50,000+ copies to its pile this week, stopping the new Switch 2 releases of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth<\/a> and eFootball Kick-Off!<\/a> from getting the top spot. 007 First Light<\/a> on PS5 has slipped from its silver-medal debut last week and now winds up in seventh, while Japan’s A-Train9 Evolution<\/strong> also makes the ranking in its debut week.<\/p>\n

It’s another week of small numbers on the hardware side of things, as Japan’s price hike<\/a> has produced another drop in Switch 2 sales.<\/p>\n

Nintendo’s latest remains on top, of course, with an additional ~23,000 sales to its name, but it’s down from last week’s 31,751, and don’t even get us started on the week before, where it hit a pre-price increase peak of 247,880.<\/p>\n

We’ve seen similar drops for Switch 1 sales this week (apart from the Lite, which actually had a decent increase<\/em>), and it’s reflected in the SKU totals. The Standard, Lite and OLED models come in at 7,821, while the three PS5 systems racked up 8,646.<\/p>\n
