04.04.2024 - 19:11 / gamingbolt.com / Nintendo
Last week’s Japanese sales charts saw Princess Peach: Showtime! beating out competition from the likes of Rise of the Ronin and Dragon’s Dogma 2 to take the top spot in the software charts, and this week, the action-adventure game has managed to hold on to that position, as per the latest weekly data revealed by Famitsu. Selling over 27,000 units, it holds a decent lead over Rise of the Ronin, which climbed up to the No. 2 position with an additional 20,000 units sold.
Meanwhile, Dragon’s Dogma 2 dropped down to fifth place, selling over 9,000 units. A number of first-party Nintendo Switch titles occupy positions in the charts beyond that, including the likes of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at No. 4, Super Mario Bros. Wonder at No. 6, Animal Crossing: New Horizons at No. 9, and Splatoon 3 at No. 10. The only new release in this week’s charts is Koei Tecmo’s Winning Post 10 2024, with its Switch version taking the No. 3 spot (over 12,000 units sold), and its PS5 version coming in at No. 7 (over 6,000 units sold). Collectively, the game sold over 19,000 physical copies in Japan upon release.
On the hardware front, there aren’t any real surprises to speak of. The Switch was once again the best-selling console in Japan last week, moving an additional 57,000-plus units, while the PS5 followed behind with over 20,000 units sold.
