<p>Famitsu’s Japanese chart figures are now in for 13th May – 19th May, revealing that eight out of this week’s top ten games are on Nintendo Switch.</p>
<p>It’s a familiar story as a new PS4 game enters the chart at number one this week, followed by a Switch-heavy list full of Nintendo-published titles. The game to secure number one this time around is <strong>Ys: Memories of Celceta – Kai,</strong> which managed an estimated 13,895 sales this week.</p>
<p>Here are the top 10 (first numbers are this week’s sales, followed by total sales):</p>
