No New Releases, But a Clear Leader - Japan Chart for the Week

The past weeks have been marked by the release of Nintendo Switch 2, but attention is focused not only on the platform but also on game sales.

A good example is the latest chart from Japan by Famitsu. It shows which projects are currently most attractive to the local audience. Below is the top 10 for the penultimate week:

  1. [NS2] Pokemon Pokopia — 45 484 (Total: 867 171)
  2. [NS2] Mario Kart World — 8131 (Total: 2 888 474)

It is noteworthy that there are no new releases in the top ten that could change the landscape. Pokemon Pokopia once again became the leader, significantly ahead of the rest.
