The Japanese Media Create results are out, and last week was undoubtedly a strong one for new titles on PS4 and Vita. That influenced hardware a little too, though the big N still managed respectable results.

In the software charts it's all about new releases on PS4 and Vita, with the first Switch title being Splatoon 2 in 7th place. As you can see in the results Gran Turismo Sport was comfortably number one, while NBA 2K18 had a very quiet release (not surprisingly, to be fair) on Switch.
