Monkey doing the business

That Nintendo remains top dog in Japan this week in terms of sales perhaps isn't the most shocking news - the company regularly finds itself in pole position in its homeland.

However, the Media Create sales figures for the 14th of May to the 20th show that a PlayStation 4 game came in at number one - but no matter, as the rest of the top 20 is dominated by Switch and 3DS games. 

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze managed to slot into second place, and has now sold an impressive 129,760 copies since its release. Splatoon 2 is in third position with 2,323,048 units now shifted, while further down the chart the Nintendo Labo Variety Kit is performing well, considering the inflated price.
