The latest sales data from Japan is in, and this week was another good one for the Nintendo Switch. Without many new titles, it was up to the likes of Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to move back up to second and third positions, as Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga on 3DS slips to fourth place after last week’s debut. Pokken Tournament DX came in at number five, edging closer to 100,000 total sales, which it should hit next week. Switch newcomer, Lost Sphere from Square Enix, came in at number nine, with 5770 sales for the week.
In hardware, the Switch continued to dominate with another 40,803 sales, maintaining top spot again this week. The 3DS and 2DS LL models sold over 18,000 models combined, coming in at third and fourth spots, respectively.
