Code Vein 2 / Mario Kart World

Yesterday's Direct shenanigans meant that we were a little too busy to get to the Japanese charts, but worry not, we've got them for you now!

Famitsu's latest numbers paint another picture of sleepy sales numbers this week, with nothing exceeding 15,000 copies sold. Bandai Namco's Code Vein II on PS5 emerged at the top of the pile with 14,452 debut sales to its name, narrowly beating Mario Kart World, which still hangs around in second.

Much like we saw in the UK charts, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade has taken a bit of a tumble since grabbing the gold medal last week, and now finds itself in ninth. Meanwhile, three titles take up a whopping six spots in the top ten, with both their Switch 1 and Switch 2 editions making it into the upper reaches of the charts.

Things were similarly sluggish on the hardware side of things. Switch 2 continued to put up some solid numbers, with an additional ~69,000 units to its name, but it was ghostly quiet from everything else across the board.

Combining the three SKUs for Switch and PS5 leans things in Sony's favour this week, with the Switch 1 models totalling in at 10,678, and the PS5 trio reaching 10,949.
