Japan: Media Create Charts Show ARMS Is A Hit In Japan

This week’s Japanese hardware and software charts are now in from Japan courtesy of the team over at Media Create. It’s been a big week for Nintendo with the release of ARMS which sold 100K units, which is impressive for a new fighting IP. It was the Nintendo Switch which was once again the best-selling console shifting 37K units which isn’t quite as many units as one would expect given the launch of ARMS but no doubt there are supply constraints. Anyway, here’s the best-selling software and hardware:
