[Console Games] Switch hits the table in Japan ahead of the release of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom doubling PS5 sales

[#Steeven.™]

The PS4 version of Hogwarts Legacy climbs to the podium of the best-selling games of recent weeks in the territory.

With The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom set to break all records in the coming weeks, we have some peace of mind with the information corresponding to the lists of best-selling consoles and video games in Japan. On this occasion, due to the fact that it was a holiday in the country, the data correspond to the last two weeks, and not to a single week as is usually the case.

The Japanese magazine Famitsu has shared the figures that Gematsu has subsequently collected and, if we look at the sale of hardware, we will see that Nintendo Switch has sold 216,525 consoles in the last two weeks, double that of its pursuer. This is PlayStation 5, which has been putting up a battle with the hybrid in recent months but now it has to settle for 99,938 units adding its model with reader and digital (compared to the sum of the standard, Lite and OLED models of Switch).
Xbox Series X and Series S continue to have difficult weeks in the Japanese country, totaling 1,324 consoles sold in the last two weeks, even less than PlayStation 4. Be that as it may, we leave you below the list of the best-selling consoles of 24 from April to May 7, placing the cumulative total in Japan in parentheses.

Best-selling consoles of the last two weeks

1. OLED switch – 184,609 (4,439,072)
2. PlayStation 5 – 84,999 (2,984,697)
3. Switch – 21,429 (19,299,135)
4. PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – 14,939 (486,274)
5. Switch Lite – 10,487 (5,291,825)
6. PlayStation 4 – 2067 (7,869,037)
7. Xbox Series S – 674 (252,212)
8. Xbox Series X – 650 (185,609)
9. New 2DS LL (includes 2DS) – 132 (1,191,553)

 

The PS4 version of Hogwarts Legacy has sold 32,000 copies
As for the software, once again the list shared by Famitsu corresponds to two weeks instead of one, as is usually the case. From April 24 to May 7, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the one that takes the cake with more than 32,000 units sold, but the Hogwarts Legacy version is very close with its PS4 version placing 31,918 physical copies in the homes of the Japanese in their first week in this case. We insist that only the physical format is counted and not the digital one, so below we leave you the top 10 so that you can consult it for yourself.
