The latest sales data from Japan is in, and it was a quiet week for Nintendo in the East, with no new software released for the 3DS or Switch. Dragon Quest XI for 3DS managed to maintain its number one spot though, moving another 67,705 copies.
Splatoon 2 was the highest-selling Switch title, selling another 34,108 copies to hit third spot. The total sales for the game are now 949,737, so we’re edging closer and closer to that one million mark.
In software, Switch sales were down from last week’s high, and it’s the first week in a very long time that the Switch wasn’t the top-selling console. Though 3DS and 2DS sales were down slightly from last week, they moved about 31,000 between them, which actually places them at the top of the list collectively.
Check out the full list below and let us know your thoughts on the way things were in Japan last week.
