Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Won’t Slow Down, Surpasses 1 Million Consoles Sold

The Switch 2 is still going strong over in Japan, and thanks to Famitsu, we have the lowdown on the week’s physical and console sales.

Unsurprisingly, for the second week in a row, Mario Kart World takes pole position by shifting another 134,900 copies in the week of 9th to 16th June. That’s over 120k more than the next closest competitor, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, which sold another 11,217 copies this week. Absolutely nothing to sneeze at. We wouldn’t be surprised if it hit a million next week.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma’s Switch 1 version continues to do well, selling over 50k units since launch (almost another 10k this week), with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Minecraft rounding out the top five.

Both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom’s Switch 2 Editions have also made the top ten again, with BOTW edging out its sequel by a single sale. And aside from Elden Ring Nightreign, it’s an entire Nintendo sweep.

No newcomers this week, so let’s look at the full breakdown for the top ten:

The big headline with the hardware here is that the Switch 2 has sold over a million units already. With a further 153,205 consoles selling this week, that’s a total of 1.1 million Switch 2s sold in Japan alone. That’s extremely impressive.

In terms of the Switch 1, it’s still selling pretty well, shifting over 13k units this week alone. However, the PS5 (combined OG model, Pro, and Digital units) has surpassed it, selling over 15k consoles between its three SKUs.
