Japan: Nintendo Switch Sells 38K And Nintendo 3DS Sells 23K

It’s Wednesday which means it is time to see how the various software releases and hardware have performed this week in Japan. It’s not been a great week for hardware sales with the Nintendo Switch seeing a big drop which is presumably to do with stock levels. On the software side of things it is Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions which has taken the top spot. Here’s the best-sellers in Japan this week:
