Every Thursday we share the weekly Famitsu sales charts, which tracks physical boxed game sales and hardware sales in Japan. This week’s chart covers June 23 – 29, as Mario Kart World once again takes the top spot, thanks to over 145,000 additional sales this week. That’s actually almost 20% up from last week, which also coincides with a rise in Switch 2 sales. Each restock likely also coincides with a lot of Mario Kart World purchases, so we’re expecting it to remain in the top 10 for a long time.
Perhaps more surprisingly, Tamagotchi Plaza also managed to sell over 100,000 copies on the Switch, with an additional 26,000 copies sold for the physical Switch 2 Edition. Combined, they sold a little under 130,000 units in their debut week, which is a massive debut for a Tamagotchi game. We also see new appearances from Death Stranding 2 on PS5, which sold 72,000 copies, along with Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains selling 18,000 units on Switch, and a surprise re-appearance of the Castlevania Anniversary Collection, selling 13,000 copies.
