The latest sales data from Japan is in thanks to Famitsu<\/a>, and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream<\/a> has finally been knocked from its perch by none other than Powerful Pro Baseball 2026-2026.<\/p>\n

The latest Konami entry is a big hit over in Japan, shifting a total of 100,976 units in its debut week. Tomodachi Life, meanwhile, added another 37,888 to its running total, which is still pretty great. Overall sales for the game are inching toward 1.5 million, having already surpassed Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hardware is a familiar picture this week. Switch 2 is still leading the pack, though overall sales figures are understandably down at the moment. The relatively affordable PS5 Digital Edition is performing quite well, as is the lower entry Switch Lite.<\/p>\n

Shoutout to the Xbox Series S for shifting 117 units too. The Master Chief will like that.<\/p>\n
