Japan: Famitsu charts for 7th August 2019

The latest video game software and hardware charts are now in direct from Japan via sales tracker Famitsu. It’s been a fairly slow week with regards to hardware sales which is slightly concerning given the recent release of two high profile games: Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Super Mario Maker 2. Hardware sales have been flagging in Japan so it’s not a massive surprise, but Nintendo will be hoping to boost sales with the Switch Lite.
