Update: Hardware sales (from Famitsu) have now been added to the bottom of the article.

Original article: After a slight delay, Famitsu (via Gematsu) has published the week's estimated physical game charts for Japan and things are looking a little different this time around.

Yes, after dominating the competition for weeks on end, Super Mario Bros. Wonder has dropped down to third this week (only just), with another 16,654 copies sold. This puts it just one place above Nintendo's first published title of 2024, Another Code: Recollection, which makes its chart debut in fourth with 15,741 sales.

It's Marvel's Spider-Man 2 that has swung back into first place this time and as the only non-Switch title in the top ten, that's not bad going. Momotaro Dentetsu World: Chikyuu wa Kibou de Mawatteru! — a Japanese release not too dissimilar from The Game of Life — takes silver once again, with another 16,733 units sold.

Hardware sales are also in for Japan, and the PS5 is top of the pile here — likely due to some Spider-Man 2 bundles. The standard PS5 shifted 45,971 units, with the Digital Edition shifting a further 11,932, which means Sony has shifted 57,903 PS5s this week.

Nintendo's numbers aren't too shabby either, with the Switch OLED being the second best-seller of the week, selling 30,942 units. Add in the Lite and standard model sales and the Switch shifted 43,692 units in total. The Xbox Series model managed to shift just under 2,000 units, while 16 New 2DS LL models sold this week. Keep on keeping on, little guy!

  1. PlayStation 5– 45,971（4,406,378）
