Nintendo Switch is burning everyone in the Japanese charts this week

This week (from 2 to 8 August 2021) is very weak for the Japanese rankings drawn up by the Famitsu newspaper, which still sees Nintendo Switch continue to burn the competition with 72,773 units sold (basic version + Nintendo Switch Lite). For comparison, PS5 sold a total of 13,530 units (disc version + digital only version), while the Xbox Series sold 1,069 units.

Even on the software front, the domination of Nintendo's console is evident, given that its games occupy all the positions of the top 10, despite not having made irresistible sales. In fact, in the first place we find Minecraft with only 14,912 copies sold, which has a distance of less than 6,000 units from the tenth place, occupied by the Videogame Laboratory (8,925 copies sold). Who knows if the competition will sooner or later do something to reverse the situation.
