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 September 11 – 17, as Pikmin 4 once again holds the top spot on the charts. The reign of Pikmin 4 has been extraordinarily impressive, even keeping #1 this week after three new chart debuts from Super Bomberman R 2, Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster and One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 Deluxe Edition.
This week’s chart also sees Pokémon Scarlet and Violet floating up the chart a little more, securing their place in the top three for the first time in a while since the gigantic launch period the games had. This is likely due to the recent release of The Teal Mask DLC expansion.
