Famitsu boxed charts for the week of May 11–17 in Japan confirm a major software and hardware story for Nintendo: Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream returned to number one in boxed sales while Switch 2 hardware demand spiked ahead of an impending price increase.
The data, published by Famitsu, highlights both a successful late-cycle first-party release and continued momentum for Nintendo platforms.
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, published by Nintendo, led the boxed list with 98,092 units sold during the week, bringing its cumulative boxed total to 1,141,649 units.
Pokémon Pokopia added 22,758 boxed sales in the same period and crossed the one-million boxed unit milestone, reaching 1,001,464 total units.
Mario Kart World, another top seller, moved 12,651 boxed units for a lifetime boxed total of 2,938,509.
In journalistic terms: the weekly figures show Tomodachi Life significantly outselling other titles, underlining that a major Nintendo release can still generate substantial demand even late in a console generation.
The boxed results also demonstrate that Pokémon Pokopia has achieved a verified sales milestone by surpassing one million boxed copies in Japan.
