The latest Famitsu charts are here and, we'll be honest, it's not the most noteworthy week imagineable, but its nevertheless another period that sees the Switch absolutely dominating, so we're happy regardless.
Powerful Pro Baseball 2024-25 once again finds itself at the top, but One Piece Odyssey suffers a significant drop in sales to land at number nine this week, leaving the likes of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD to enjoy higher positions in the top ten.
Meanwhile, sales for Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition continue to slow, but we're confident it will reach the 50,000 milestone within the next few weeks. Not the biggest Switch game, by any stretch, but a worthy addition to the library.
For the full breakdown, here's a look at this week's top ten in full:
Hardware is a similar story once again, with the Switch dominating at a total of 57,757 units sold across all three SKUs. The Xbox Series S is looking particularly tragic with only 75 units sold this week, with only the PlayStation 4 selling fewer at 52.

Too bad that One Piece Odyssey has already dropped so much, but happy it's still in the top 10.
Anyway, glad to see in general all these Switch games still selling in Japan and of course Switch itself, too!
Nice title and things are as they should be. Glad One Piece Odyssey in the top 10 all the same.
It’s crazy that the switch has sold more than the ps5 AND ps4 combined (in Japan)
@Olliemar28 There's a typo in the top 10 when you can fix it, "One Pice"!
@Yel333 and that’s just the OG model on its own. Switch Lite and OLED combined sales are also just below the total sales of the PS4 and both PS5 SKUs in Japan
@JohnnyMind Thank you my friend
Where I live the sky is gray.
PS5 sales still good. 😊
And PS4 still selling despite with 50 units.
@JohnnyMind it’s ok, it’s just the Temu version charting
@Serpenterror where I live they’re spraying the sky, or so I get told every day in work by my conspiracy theorist work colleague
It’s wild that the Switch’s sales are double that of the PS5!
I know the Xbox is a lost cause in Japan but I am surprised that the smaller Series S is being outsold by the bigger Series X. I guess physical media is a massive deal breaker.
I don't reckon we are seeing the Switch 2 this year. My money is on the September Direct having some big games for the Switch for the holidays. Can't imagine why they would want to take their eyes off making the holiday season as strong as possible. Switch is on it's way to becoming the best selling console of all time. The only point I'm going to write that off is the day the Switch ends production and there are less than 160 million* units in circulation...(*although it seems even Sony don't recognize Jim's figure.) It really does sound like a lot of Youtubers sounding like spoiled brats wanting the next easy content from Nintendo aren't allowing the console to live out it's slower years lol.
@Yel333 You can add the PS3 and the PS Vita combined too
I need a status report on the wetness of water STAT!
@Yel333 The Switch has at over 33.4 million units sold more than the PS3, PS4, PS5 and PSVita combined. Soon you can add the Wii U and the Switch will still be ahead.
@GrailUK “but but but…muh content…muh engagement… screw you Nintendo!!?!??!!!”
@WiltonRoots Anyone still watching the Switch 2 grift videos (after how many years?) wants their head examining.
INCREDIBLE Switch 2 LEAK! Then goes on for 15 minutes about some company making hinges. It's as boring as all the share price articles.
@GrailUK Thank the lord (not even religious) for Adblock as well...some of the Zelda historians are horrific for it, 15 min vid with 5 ads.
