Wondering how the Switch held up in Japan this week? Switch titles impressively made up the entirety of the top 10 best-selling software list. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet has rocketed back to first place once again. Fire Emblem Engage continues to hold strong in fourth. No new titles debuted this week. The rest of the charts is quite standard, with top-selling titles like Splatoon 3, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Nintendo Switch Sports making their usual appearance.

As for hardware, Sony’s PlayStation 5 managed to take the top spot for the third week in a row. This is followed by the Switch OLED in second. For the first time, PlayStation 5 Digital Edition placed in third, with the Xbox Series S in fourth, and the standard Switch and the Switch Lite took fifth and sixth place respectively. It’s quite unusual to see a Microsoft console outselling Nintendo in Japan
