Pikmin 4 Retakes Top Spot in Weekly Japanese Charts
Pikmin 4 had been consistently topping weekly Japanese physical software sales charts since its launch in July, before being dethroned last week courtesy of Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon’s impressive debut. This week, however, the Switch title has once again retaken the top spot, as per data released by Famitsu, with over 34,000 units sold.
Armored Core 6, meanwhile, sits in second and fourth place with its PS5 and PS4 versions respectively, selling a total of over 29,000 units across both platforms. Sandwiched between both versions at No. 3 is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which sold over 11,000 units. Meanwhile, the rest of the top 10 is dominated by fellow Switch-exclusive titles, including the likes of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and Splatoon 3.
On the hardware side of things, the Nintendo Switch is the best-selling console of the week again, as it tends to be most weeks, with over 83,000 units sold. The PS5 trails behind in second place, having moved over 52,000 units over the course of the week.
