Sigh. Another week, another Jamboree win.
Yes, the latest look at the physical software charts from Japan is in (thanks, Famitsu), and Super Mario Party Jamboree has rolled yet another winner, putting an additional 95,817 sales on top of its already impressive total.
Overall, things look very same-y this week, with the Switch dominating as we roll towards Christmas. Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake still sits in second, with a perfectly respectable 54,924 sales, and Mario & Luigi: Brothership also continues to perform well, putting up bigger numbers than it achieved last time.
Apart from that, it's all familiar faces. For the full breakdown, here's a look at the latest top ten:
Things are slightly more unusual on the hardware side of things, with the three Switch models dominating the podium. The OLED took home another 56,127 sales, followed by the Lite and standard models, pushing the PS5 into fourth. It is the run up to Christmas, after all.
Here's your look at this week's Japanese hardware chart in full:

Glad to see mario Brothership still on the list.
Its my most played game lol, game is just soo good pff.
Mario party Jamboree will be a Christmas present.
Love to see Jamboree on top and selling almost as twice as Dragon Quest III in second which in turn sold almost as twice as 8 Deluxe in third - what a top 3 this week!
Also happy to see Echoes of Wisdom in 5th, Brothership in 6th and then for the rest of the top 10 the usual suspects Ultimate, New Horizons, Momotaro Dentetsu and Switch Sports other than of course Switch still selling well!
Wow, Jamboree nearly reaching 100K is impressive. Once again Switch takes the board with mostly evergreen titles, but I am slightly surprised that a Pokemon title has rarely broken into the top 10 as of late.
PS sales doing great….. 🤭
Woohoo, almost 100 thousand for the Switch.
Lucky for Sony the PS2 is still doing so well! Hahahaha, ahem.
Still find it amazing that MK8D is still in the top 10.
Why would Nintendo bother bringing out the next one when it is still selling.
Glad Jamboree doing so good. While I would love for them to give us updates/dlc, I doubt it will come with the new console so close to us.
@Bunkerneath and top 3 to boot, not like it's clinging on. It's remarkable.
Wow three times in a row Super Mario Party Jamboree is on top of the chart and again three times in a row it still failed to beat Dragon Quest III HD 2D total unit sales and like before that doesn't even include the PS5 version's numbers at all either. Nothing is stopping Dragon Quest III from being dominant over Jamboree and Jamboree had a one month head start over Dragon Quest III too.
@GrailUK ps2 is killing it 😂
Can someone tell me whats the difference between an Xbox Series S and and Xbox Series X digital edition?
Clean sweep on top 10. Impressive
Terrible PS5 sales
Terrible Xbox sales
@CammyUnofficial bigger and with better specs, such as ram and storage size.
Jamboree really is a great game. It has so many different modes that you can find something for everyone. I brought this to a work holiday lunch where we had some games set up, and I had people who do not play video games AT ALL having a blast with Toad's item factory, working together with folks they don't normally interact with - it was a huge sccess
Also I love how the PS4 has official taken 2DS XL's mantle of "somehow, somewhere, they are still selling a handful of these per week"
Total Nintendo domination. Crazy how all three PS5 skus still couldn't combine to outsell the Switch Lite.
Switch games still dominating the chart!
OG Switch model will hit 20MILLION in Japan by next chart, unbelievable. AC New Horizons will also pass 8 million physical, again, incredible numbers.
@KryptoniteKrunch reiterates what I’ve said in the past, this market has no interest in these big “AAA” behemoths in the slightest. That crash is coming.
@CammyUnofficial The Xbox Series X Digital Edition is stupid; the Xbox Series S is really stupid. Jk, the Series X DE is more powerful and I think it has more storage. I just personally think digital-only consoles are kind of dumb unless it’s a handheld and it has enough storage for a lot of large games.
As others have said, total Nintendo domination. Those evergreen titles just keep selling.
@Serpenterror Dragon Quest had a way bigger launch. That's all there really is too it. Next week it will probably sell another 50-60k while Mario Party should sell over 100k easily, but that won't be enough to reach the over 900k that DQ3 should be at then. It'll catch up soon enough though.
Ow...
13 K unit for PS5 sales this week. 🙂
Not bad, hopefully getting better next week.
@WiltonRoots I keep saying that too, and then people disagree. But there is so much going on that just looks like things are heading towards that direction, or at least something like it. Meanwhile, Nintendo continues to stay strong.
@WiltonRoots
But not everyone bought PS5 for playing AAA games.
I for one who bought PS5 for playing Bluey, Barbie, Paw Patrol which technically those 3rd party games also on Switch but I want the PS5 version for better performance and same price as Switch version
@LavenderShroud the graphics arms race is crippling companies. They spend hundreds of millions creating these so-called spectacles that take forever to make, only for them to bomb or get released broken because they have to meet their marketing schedules. The third parties have Sony and Microsoft doing their bidding, making them release super expensive hardware so they can fulfil "the developer's vision", only for all of them to struggle to recoup costs...hence why Sony and Microsoft are now pushing their games elsewhere to try and get some money back.
"Nintendo should go third party!!!" Look what the other two are doing. "AAA" third parties could go down the pan and Nintendo will still be able to look after themselves.
@Anti-Matter yep but you are definitely a unique case!
@Erigen Scarlet/Violet is at #11 right now.

I don't think PS5 sales is that bad in my opinion.
Some peoples here just like to talk trash about PS5.
And for PS4 with 47 units sold, well... still a decent sales after 11 years.
@Anti-Matter It's Christmas next week. They are staggeringly bad, mate.
@GrailUK
Any number sold from PS5, as long the number is still thousand units, I will be pleased.
Btw, I defend PS5 for their 3rd party kids games I keep mentioning all the time.
In this case, the 3rd party kids games on PS5 are more important for me than the 1st party Switch games.
I still will get the upcoming 1st party Switch games, but I prioritize the 3rd party kids games first.
@BTB20 thank you for that link, jeepers there’s only one PS5 piece of software on that entire Top30, the rest are all Switch.
