Nintendo Switch Tops Japanese Sales Charts Yet Again In Newest Media Create Reports

Meanwhile, Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1+2 for PS4 tops software sales.

Posted By | On 01st, Aug. 2018

Much like the previous week, and the week before that, and really, mostly every week since the console launched last year, the Nintendo Switch ended up on top of the Japanese video game hardware and software sales charts last week, with 48,370 units sold. This was almost one and a half times more than all the other systems put together- including the PS4, which fell back to sub-20,000 units sold levels, and the 3DS, which was at 8,714 units sold.

Over on the software front, the Mega Man X Legacy Collection topped charts, with the PS4 version selling 29,000 units (the Switch version sold another 16,000 units, and came in at fifth place). Nintendo evergreens, such as Splatoon 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, continued to put up strong sales numbers (and even in Japan, Breath of the Wild is outlegging Super Mario Odyssey, which is doing well in its own right).
