Japan: Nintendo Switch Sells 25K And Nintendo 3DS Sells 15K

It’s Wednesday which means it is time to find out how the various software and hardware have performed in Japan this week. Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology for the Nintendo 3DS arrived this week and promptly shot to the top of the charts. On the hardware side it was the PlayStation 4 which took the number one spot but that’s most likely due to hardware shortages of the Nintendo Switch. Here’s the best-sellers this week:
