Famitsu has published the latest boxed charts for Japan, and we’ve got a few newcomers this week to mix up the top ten.
In pole position is Silent Hill f for the PS5, which starts strong with 57,475 units sold. Not too far behind, however, is Mario Kart World, adding another 35,027 to its running total. In fact, the newly-released Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds couldn’t keep up with Nintendo’s kart racer, and lands at number 9 with 5,571 units sold.
It’s important to note that Sonic’s appeal in Japan isn’t quite on par with Western audiences, and it’s equally just as likely that folks are simply waiting for the Switch 2 version, which is due to launch later this year.
Elsewhere, Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian also makes its debut, with the Switch version beating the PS5 version to sell 10,425 copies in its launch week.
Here’s the full lowdown on the top ten for this week:
Hardware this week is once again a familiar sight. The Switch 2 is at the top with another 44,150 units sold, eclipsing the Switch OLED Model in second place.
Overall, Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED sold a total of 23,110 units this week, while PS5, PS5 Digital, and PS5 Pro managed a total of 16,911. A win for the previous-gen Switch then, wheeey!
