It has been another rough post-price-hike sales week for Switch 2 in Japan, but Nintendo stays winning on the software side, thanks to Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream (thanks, Famitsu).
The wacky life sim added another 50,000+ copies to its pile this week, stopping the new Switch 2 releases of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and eFootball Kick-Off! from getting the top spot. 007 First Light on PS5 has slipped from its silver-medal debut last week and now winds up in seventh, while Japan’s A-Train9 Evolution also makes the ranking in its debut week.

It’s another week of small numbers on the hardware side of things, as Japan’s price hike has produced another drop in Switch 2 sales.
Nintendo’s latest remains on top, of course, with an additional ~23,000 sales to its name, but it’s down from last week’s 31,751, and don’t even get us started on the week before, where it hit a pre-price increase peak of 247,880.
We’ve seen similar drops for Switch 1 sales this week (apart from the Lite, which actually had a decent increase), and it’s reflected in the SKU totals. The Standard, Lite and OLED models come in at 7,821, while the three PS5 systems racked up 8,646.
