We are back with another look at the latest Japanese physical charts from Famitsu<\/a>, and despite some newbies entering the standings, Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia<\/a> remains firmly at the top.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> debuted at 2nd and 3rd on Switch 2 and PS5, respectively, while Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake<\/a> arrived in fifth and eighth.<\/p>\n

All those newbies mean there weren’t many spaces for the old favourites this week, but Mario Kart World<\/a>, Mario Tennis Fever<\/a> and Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/a> still managed to cling onto a spot, while Resident Evil Requiem<\/a> hung around in fourth on PS5.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the top ten:<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
