Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream continued its strong commercial run in Japan, topping Famitsu's weekly sales chart for April 20–26, 2026.
The comical life simulation title led boxed software sales on Nintendo Switch 2 in its second week, while hardware momentum for Nintendo's next-generation console remained robust across the region.
According to Famitsu, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream sold 178,533 units on Switch 2 during the week, bringing its cumulative total to 743,938 copies.
The closest competitor was Pokémon Pokopia on Switch 2, which sold 17,039 units and has reached 927,044 copies to date.
Those figures underline the significant gap between Tomodachi Life and other new releases in the same period.
Capcom's Pragmata made a notable debut on Switch 2, entering the charts at number three with 14,453 units sold for the week.
The PlayStation 5 version of Pragmata followed closely in fourth place with 12,786 copies, a combined showing that demonstrates cross-platform interest.
Capcom also reported a major global milestone for Pragmata, announcing that the title sold 1 million units worldwide within two days of its release.
Famitsu's hardware breakdown for the week shows Nintendo Switch 2 as the best-selling console in Japan, continuing to outpace both the original Switch family and Sony's PlayStation 5.
The report indicates that the PlayStation 5 sold more than the base Nintendo Switch but trailed the Switch Lite and Switch OLED models.
Microsoft saw limited traction in the Japanese market for the week, with 127 Xbox Series X Digital Edition units reported sold.
