Japan's weekly software and hardware charts show a familiar winner on the software side even as Switch 2 hardware sales soften following a recent price increase.
According to Famitsu data reported by Nintendo Life, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream added more than 50,000 copies in Japan for the week of June 1–7, holding the top position on the country's game sales chart.
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream sold 50,151 units during the week, bringing its reported lifetime total to 1,309,182 units.
New Switch 2 releases Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and eFootball Kick-Off! debuted at second and third place respectively, with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth selling 30,657 units in its launch week and eFootball Kick-Off! moving 20,047 units.
Pokémon Pokopia placed fourth on the weekly chart with 10,794 units and a reported lifetime total of 1,049,201.
Rewritten as a clear journalistic statement: Famitsu's weekly tally indicates that Nintendo continues to lead on software sales in Japan, while recent Switch 2 launches performed respectably but were outsold by an established Nintendo title.
The report also notes that the country’s recent hardware price hike has coincided with lower week-to-week Switch 2 unit sales.
Other entries in the top ten include Yoshi and the Mysterious Book (8,191 units, lifetime 60,553), Mario Kart World (7,381 units, lifetime 2,965,454), 007 First Light on PS5 (4,388 units, lifetime 25,078), Minecraft on Switch (4,381 units, lifetime 4,218,943), A-Train9 Evolution on Switch 2 (3,550 units, debut), and Astro Bot on PS5 (3,460 units, lifetime 103,717).
Hardware figures show diminished week-to-week numbers for Switch 2 following the price change.
Switch 2 sold 23,059 units in the week (lifetime 5,888,272).
The PlayStation 5 Digital Edition reported 6,731 units (lifetime 1,309,551).
Legacy Switch models and the Switch Lite and OLED variants also posted varied results: Switch Lite 4,099 units (lifetime 6,977,052) and Switch OLED 2,978 units (lifetime 9,588,808).
The standard Switch remained in the low hundreds for the week, at 744 units (lifetime 20,301,079).
All figures above are drawn from the Famitsu weekly sales report as summarized by Nintendo Life.
The data provides a factual snapshot of Japan’s market for the week of June 1–7 and documents both software leaders and the near-term impact of a price adjustment on Switch 2 hardware sales.
