Over onto hardware now, and we once again see the Switch OLED dominating the competition, achieving over double the sales of Sony's PS5 in second. Of course, this was always bound to happen with a big release like Zelda and the PlayStation continues to sell well nonetheless.
With Nintendo's schedule looking pretty quiet for the rest of the year, we wouldn't be surprised to see Sony's latest climb into pole position soon enough.
Here's the full Japanese hardware charts:
- Switch OLED Model – 69,341 (4,574,041)
