Pokémon Shining Diamond and Shining Pearl storm the Japanese rankings

Pokémon Shining Diamond and Shining Pearl have taken the Japanese charts by storm, reaching the top spot with 1,395,642 copies sold. The gap with respect to the second position is truly abysmal, given that Mario Party Superstars stopped at 39,797 copies. The only other new addition to the top 10, Battlefield 2042, has sold 25,268 copies on PS4 and 21,637 copies on PS5, continuing the trend of cross gen games that sell more on the older generation.

Nintendo Switch remains the console most sold in absolute terms, with the OLED model in the lead followed by the standard model and the Lite model. Overall, the units sold by the hybrid console were 167,778, which is a huge amount, considering the poor sales of PS5 (4,307) and Xbox Series X and S (3422).
