Japanese Charts: Pikmin 4 Passes One Million Physical Sales

I think this is a PikWin!

Some steady sales for this week.

Awesome numbers, love to see it

Every time I see Pikmin doing well it makes me so happy!

Pikmin 4 sold twice as much as the previous week.

Nintendo told us Pikmin is selling best in Japan

I am surprised Momotetsu was dethroned so quickly (granted it is up against Mario) but I suspect it will stay in the charts for a while. Congrats to Pikmin 4!

Congrats to Pikmin 4 for 1 millon sales in Japan. Crazy what Pikmin can achieve when it doesn't release on two of Nintendo's worst consoles sales wise

@Anti-Matter Switch OLED alone almost selling x2 as much….

@Sam_ATLUS Which is why I wish Nintendo would give Star Fox and F-Zero another chance

Congrats to Pikmin 4. The marketing really paid off big time

Totally deserved, what a fantastic game from a fantastic series!
I wish it sold more in the West...

@Anti-Matter Errr I think you confused the webpage to post that comment lol

They really hit the mark with Pikmin 4 in Japan, for better or worse, they're loving it over there.

These charts always make me chuckle everytime PS5 occassionally claims pole position and this site claims some sort of domination. It's clear that in the West, Switch is fallng but it's also crystal clear we have different sensibilities (for better or worse.)

@GrailUK 2 out of the last 3 months the switch has fallen behind the xbox in last place.. and the us is nintendo largest market time for the switch 2..

@Anti-Matter PS5 had it's spike due to the Slim release. Looks like that momentum was short lived.

@johnedwin This time next year, I do hope all our questions are answered. Hardware is expected to decline in year 7 (and it's incredible that sales are as strong as they are - yes, it's third place blah blah) but the software sales are very healthy. Any entry in a franchise they release breaks records. So they are certainly in no rush still.

@rockodoodle
I knew Switch sales is already great, but I want to praise PS5 sales that still good so far in Japan.

@the_beaver
I just want to praise the good sales of PS5 in Japan since I knew Switch sales is already great.
Currently my hype on PS5 machine is already built as I want to get the machine in February 2024.

Getting Pikmin 4 for Xmas, so glad to see Miyamoto's dream IP finally doing the numbers it deserves.

Somehow Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade manage to find its way into the top 10 again. Guess most just wanted to re-experience the fillers on PS5 until Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (with more fillers) arrive. Congrats to Super Mario Bros. Wonder for beating Momotaro Dentetsu World for once. Seems like the holiday is already over in Japan, no new games at all in the top 10 this week except for a port of a two year old game and the usual suspects.

@rockodoodle globally the Switch is actually behind even the Xbox.

Don't get confused by the Japanese only charts, unfortunately it won't give you a clear picture of whats going on, the Switch has been behind in global sales for a good while now, the Switch 2 is long over due.

@Johnny44 I know, why isn’t he on Pushsquare? I’m guessing all the 18+ makes him upset.

@Serpenterror That's just because it's a much cheaper rerelease.

@NeonPizza Awesome icon! I remember that Nintendo cartoon 👍

So happy Pikmin 4 is doing well. I hope we get some DLC (though I doubt it).

Congratulations to Pikmin 4 team. Job well done and very deserved. Best luck to future releases.

Sales target awesome it gets noticed enough. With the whole series on the Switch that's something. It's doing better than Chibi Robo. Both are approachable and understandable to the average person it's just their marketing/people caring, more iconic enough. The right push Nintendo has to get it noticed. Youtubers I guess helping it was something too. Besides the time of year it was as well.

Just sucks 4 had to have some of the most casual pandering nonsense in it to annoy me with the title. Fair features so much annoying details I hated the game 78 hours through to 98%. Never want to play it again. If Pikmin 2 is bad I'll be disappointed. I assume it is good and willing to take the challenge of it too as the final Pikmin game I have yet to play. (3 Wii U, 1 Wii, 4 Switch, 2 would be from 1&2 HD physical)

At least I know 1 & 2's controls are the controls I wanted not 4's controls I can't stand and has none of the other issues 4 has.

It's my game of the year

@Reztobi I was just ribbing antimatter. That said, someone posted that the Switch sold a half million units in Europe. Yeah, it’s down 35 percent from last year, but fairly respectable given the age of the system.

Now if we can get a Pikmin Amiibo for each figures I would have a completed collection of Pikmin.

Warioware Move it and Super Mario RPG = flop
