Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Hits Another Milestone As Pokémon Pokopia's Reign Continues

This week's physical games chart from Famitsu are here, and they paint a very familiar picture, though the Switch 2 is busy smashing sales numbers as the console reaches 5 million units sold in Japan.

But first, Pokémon Pokopia is once again the number-one selling physical release of the week. While last week saw a big dip in sales across the board, the drop this week is much smaller, with Game Freak and Omega Force's collaboration shifting 45,484 copies in the week of 30th March to 5th April 2026.

Other than Crimson Desert, this is Switch and Switch 2 heavy week, even with the lower numbers. Pokopia is comfortably ahead of the rest of the pack, closing in on 1 million physical sales fast, while only two other games managed to sell over 5,000 physical copies.

That honour goes to Mario Kart World, which is back in second place at 8,131, and Minecraft's Switch release, with 5,186 copies sold. There are no new releases this week, with Mega Man Star Force: Legacy Collection and Animal Crossing: New Horizons making up the top five.

Here's the top ten in for the bigger picture:

If you're expecting a different story with the hardware charts, well, you won't find it here. The Switch 2 is once again sitting pretty in the number one spot, selling 59,543 units this week, well ahead of the PlayStation 5 SKUs combined 13,539 units.

But the big news is that the console has now sold over 5 million units in Japan alone, which is an impressive feat. It's now sitting at 5,011,059 units from its release on 5th June 2025.

The older Switch SKUs are still doing pretty well for themselves, with the OLED, Lite, and OG model selling a combined 16,342 units. Plus, the Xbox Series X almost sold as many units as the base PS5. Not bad, little (well, big) Xbox!
