Japanese Charts: Nintendo Dominates Top Ten With 2026 Hits While Switch 2 Leads Hardware Sales

The latest Japanese boxed charts data from Famitsu has revealed that Nintendo continues to dominate the top ten sales rankings. This strong performance is driven by consistent sales from 2026 hits including Rhythm Heaven Groove, Splatoon Raiders, and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream.

Among new releases, STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT made a significant debut by occupying three spots on the charts following its multi-platform launch across Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. Notably, the Switch 2 version of the title secured the highest sales among the platforms. Additionally, Starsand Island made its debut at number ten, despite the Switch 2 edition facing criticism regarding its technical performance.

In hardware sales, the Switch 2 maintained its position at the top with 20,734 units sold. Meanwhile, PlayStation's three SKUs combined for a total of 6,397 sales, narrowly outpacing the original Nintendo Switch, which managed 6,111 sales for the week.
