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 August 7 – 13, and once again Pikmin 4 continues to hold the top spot on the charts. Selling an additional 70,000 units this week, the latest entry in the Pikmin series has now crossed the 600,000 sales mark, in what is sure to be franchise-best sales performance.
Pikmin 4 sales only dropped by 11% from last week, and we’re already four weeks into the release of the game. It’s good news for developers Nintendo, as they are dominating the charts this week, with every single title belonging to the Nintendo Switch. The evergreen nature of the system is showing no signs of slowing down, with a mix of both older and more recent titles in the mix.
