<p>Japanese chart figures are now in for 8th – 14th April, revealing that <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/nintendo_labo_toy-con_04_vr_kit">Nintendo Labo VR</a></strong> has managed to enter the charts in second place in its opening week.</p>
<p>The game managed to sell more units that this week’s other big Switch release, <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/final_fantasy_x_x-2_hd_remaster">Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster</a></strong>, with Famitsu’s estimates reporting a total of 26,634 sales. This debut puts it ahead of <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/nintendo_labo_toy-con_03_vehicle_kit"><strong>Nintendo Labo: Vehicle Kit</strong></a>‘s opening week sales, but still significantly behind the sales experienced by the first two Labo kits.</p>
<p>It was <strong>Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain</strong> which managed to take the top spot, though, with an estimated 55,573 sales. Labo VR released a day later than both Earth Defense Force and Final Fantasy, potentially causing the VR kit’s sales to look a little weaker than they might have done.</p>
<p>Here are the top 10 (first numbers are this week’s sales, followed by total sales):</p>
