Splatoon 3 cleared half a million in physical sales for the week, now totaling 2.44m. With digital sales included, Splatoon 3 in Japan alone is close to 4.5 million, which is an astonishing 10 day total. Dragon Quest X: Rise of the Five Tribes Offline had a solid debut of 220,307 copies across all three versions, with the NS build taking up 65.3% of the pie.

On the hardware end, Nintendo Switch sold the most units and has a year-to-date of 3.28 million. In comparison, at this same time in 2021, the console was at 3.81 million. The console is a little over 500,000 behind, but with several strong titles still to come, along with special edition OLED Models, Nintendo Switch does stand a chance at topping its numbers from last year.

Meanwhile…Xbox Series outsold the PlayStation 5 again. What was not too long ago a “once in a blue moon” type of situation, it has now become less surprising. See you next week!
