Switch Dominates Japanese Sales Charts

The Switch is the first console to sweep Japan's game sales chart in 33 years

Even the PlayStation couldn't stop Nintendo from achieving the feat.

The Nintendo Switch isn't struggling to compete against the PlayStation 5 on its home turf in Japan... far from it. Game Data Library, Axios and IGN report that every game on Famitsu's August 8th weekly Top 30 chart was a Switch title, ranging from Super Mario Maker 2 in 30th place to Minecraft at the top. It's reportedly the first time a platform has swept that chart since November 1988, when Nintendo's own Famicom (the basis for the NES) dominated the list.


Nintendo has controlled the Japanese games chart with multiple platforms before. In the early 1990s, the Famicom, Super Famicom (aka Super NES) and Game Boy cemented its position. It's much harder for a single system to rule the rankings, though.

Last Nintendo I had was a Super Nintendo my older brother bought, my friend growing up had a N64 and had lots of fun on it, but once I got a PS1 I didn't even think about getting a Nintendo system ever again.

Kewl story, bruh.

This is like that in Japan because all they care about now is portable systems. They barely even play home consoles anymore.

plus portable is just better most of the time unless you want that cinematic feel.

I have Switch. I bought Super Mario Maker 2 2 years ago or so, and I finally started playing it and made a level. (I just don't play much games.) The level that I made is very dope. One day I'll post it in this thread or something.

Smartphones can play online games, many of which are rpgs in which also some of them were originally available for computers only.

Idk. It depends but there are other popular genres for it as well, like fps or moba usually.

Imagine being a gamer elitist that calls mobile games gay. Definitely a man child or autistic teenager.
