The latest Famitsu Japanese sales charts reveal a dynamic week for new game releases and hardware performance, underscoring the ongoing strength of both legacy franchises and new console hardware.
SEGA’s "Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties" took the top spot in the week of February 9th to 15th, 2026, debuting on PlayStation 5 with an impressive 58,171 units sold.
The game's presence was further cemented by strong performances on both PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch 2, gathering nearly 94,000 unit sales across platforms during its first week of availability. Despite "Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties" clinching the number one position, Nintendo’s newly-released "Mario Tennis Fever" made a remarkable debut of its own.
The tennis-themed Switch 2 exclusive achieved second place, selling 39,522 units in its inaugural week—testament to the enduring popularity of Nintendo’s premier sports IPs.
Meanwhile, "Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined" maintained momentum from its previous strong opening, securing third and fourth place with its Switch and Switch 2 editions, totaling more than 393,000 units sold to date across platforms.
Other chart highlights include the steady performance of "Nioh 3" on the PS5, and perennial best-sellers like "Mario Kart World" and "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" securing their standing in the top ten. Below is a summary of the Japanese top ten games for the week: 1.
