The latest sales charts are now in from Japan thanks to the team at sales tracker Media Create. There have been a number of large new releases this month in the form of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the latest Nintendo Labo kit, as well as indie hit Undertale. Once again the Nintendo Switch is the best-selling hardware in Japan and that doesn’t look as though it is stopping anytime soon.

Spiderman is awesome but it failed to shift any ps4’s in Japan that’s unfortunate. Switch is doing great as is the norm by now in Japan at least.
Looks like the 3DS and Vita are dying. Neither can get games into the top 10, and once Pokemon moves to Switch, the 3DS will be beyond dead. Fanboys are just delusional if they honestly believe the 3DS is going to stay alive while Switch is killing it.
