That a Nintendo Switch successor is in the works isn’t a secret to anyone at this point, though of course, with the Switch itself now deep into its seventh year, questions are being asked with greater frequency about when Nintendo will choose to formally unveil its next-gen console. Interestingly, the Japanese may already have taken the first steps on that front.
Pikmin 4 Tops Weekly Japan Sales Charts for Third Consecutive Week
10.08.2023 - 14:39 / gamingbolt.com / Nintendo
Upon its launch a couple of weeks ago, Pikmin 4 dominated the weekly Japan physical sales charts with over 400,000 units sold at retail, and followed that up with over 115,000 units sold in its second week. As per the newest data released by Famitsu, it has topped those charts yet again, making it three weeks in a row for the strategy title, selling over 78,000 units during the week (with lifetime physical sales in Japan climbing to nearly 600,000 units).
There are no new releases in the charts this week, but a number of older and familiar faces continue to enjoy solid sales. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is in at No. 2, having sold another 14,000-plus copies last week, while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sits in third place with a similar amount of units sold. The likes of Splatoon 3, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet can also be found in the top 10.
On the hardware front, to no one’s surprise, the Nintendo Switch dominates proceedings once again, having sold over 93,000 units. The PS5 follows behind with over 50,000 units sold.
