Nintendo Switch dominates Japan in the Famitsu sales chart

Famitsu has released the ranking of hardware and software sales at the end of February 2021 (22/02/21 - 28/02/21). Through them we can see that Nintendo Switch dominates from every point of view: it is not undermined by any console.

Here are the software sales of the Famitsu ranking for the week at the end of February 2021; in brackets the total number of copies sold in Japan:



[NSW] Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town (Marvelous, 02/25/21) - 202,396 (New) [NSW ] Bravely Default II (Square Enix, 02/26/21) - 93,061 (New) [NSW] Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (Nintendo, 02/12/21) - 74,811 (422,784) [NSW] Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa , Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban! (Konami, 11/19/20) - 40,610 (1,974,795) [NSW] Ring Fit Adventure (Nintendo, 10/18/19) - 19,032 (2,413,077) [NSW] Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Nintendo, 04/28/17) - 13,575 (3,699,547) [NSW] Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Nintendo, 03/20/20) - 13,332 (6,668,414) [NSW] Uta no Prince-sama Debut for Nintendo Switch (Broccoli, 02/25/21) - 10,588 (New) [NSW] Super Smash Bros.

Let's see instead the hardware sales indicated by Famitsu, in brackets the total sales:



Switch - 50,141 (15,219,554) PlayStation 5 - 30,117 (356,683) Switch Lite - 27,908 (3,346,656) PlayStation 5 Digital Edition - 3,721 (66,176) PlayStation 4 - 3,201 (7,764,284) Xbox Series X - 1,429 (27,883) New 2DS LL (including 2DS base) - 673 (1,156,715) Xbox Series S - 58 (7,634) PlayStation 4 Pro - 16 (1,575,662)

As you can see, Japan's Top 10 software sales are 100% Nintend o Switch. Even in the hardware field, the two console models are able to do much more than what PS5 is able to sell (standard and Digital combined). As always, PS5 sales are also affected by the number of stocks, always limited.

Here are also Famitsu's votes for Bravely Default 2 and Ghosts' n Goblins Resurrection.
