Japan: Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World No.1

The latest Japanese software and hardware charts are in from the team at Famitsu and this week’s sales sees the arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2 on the market along with its launch titles. Talking of games it was Mario Kart World which shot straight to number one shifting 782K physical copies. The Nintendo Switch 2 was the inevitable No.1 in the hardware charts selling 947K though My Nintendo Store sales were apparently not included in this figure, so it’s likely to have sold over a million units in Japan alone.
