Queda in hardware reflects impact of readjustment

Second place was 007 First Light, from IO Interactive, with 20,690 copies. Pokémon Pokopia came in third, followed by Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. Vários titles from Nintendo, including Mario Kart World, rounded out the top 10.
Accumulated Desempenho shows strength of new generation

The Switch 2 line continues to dominate Japanese hardware even after the price adjustment. First-party Títulos and Tomodachi Life sustain the ecosystem and attract consistent buyers.
Outras platforms record punctual sales, but without threatening Nintendo’s leadership. The week’s performance suggests the market’s gradual adaptation to the new price level.
