We are back with another look at the latest Japanese physical charts from Famitsu, and despite some newbies entering the standings, Pokémon Pokopia remains firmly at the top.
It was another big week for TPC’s latest, with Ditto & co. summoning up another 117,029 sales to its name. This meant that Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection debuted at 2nd and 3rd on Switch 2 and PS5, respectively, while Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake arrived in fifth and eighth.
All those newbies mean there weren’t many spaces for the old favourites this week, but Mario Kart World, Mario Tennis Fever and Animal Crossing: New Horizons still managed to cling onto a spot, while Resident Evil Requiem hung around in fourth on PS5.
Here’s a look at the top ten:

Aside from the Switch 2’s continued dominance, the hardware chart has seen a bit of a shakeup this week, with the PS5 Digital Edition narrowly outselling the Switch OLED, and the Standard Switch outselling the Lite.
Despite the order switch-up, the Switch 1 SKUs still come out on top over the PS5, with Nintendo’s old systems pulling in 19,941 total sales last week, and the PS5 models racking up 12,886.
