Through Famitsu, we can see the classification sales of games and consoles on Japanese soil for mid March 2023, specifically between 6 and 12 March. In terms of software, however, Switch dominates as always:
[NSW] Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe (Nintendo, 02/24/23) – 32,132 (283,744) [NSW] Pokemon Scarlet / Violet (The Pokemon Company, 11/18/22) – 20,889 (4,929,627) [NSW] Splatoon 3 (Nintendo, 09/09/22) – 10,712 (5,194,090) [NSW] Ib (PLAYISM, 03/09/23)
Hogwarts Legacy and Wo Long Fallen Dynasty, both of which are not available on Switch (the Nintendo version of Hogwarts Legacy will be released later this summer) remain the most successful i PS5 games in the top ten of physical games.
Let's look instead at i hardware data:
PS5 – 51,510 (2,689,527) Nintendo Switch OLED – 37,373 (4,035,179) PS5 Digital Edition – 13,359 (432,454) Nintendo Switch Lite – 10,174 (5,243,115) Xbox Series X – 2,729 (182,438) PlayStation 4 – 1,602 (7,859,428) Xbox Series S – 158 (250,599) New 2DS LL (incluso 2DS) –
As previously mentioned, the PS5 is always the top-ranked device and has sold 64,869 units in seven days, indicating a modest decrease in numbers compared to the previous week. However, even in Japan, sales are starting to slow down.
