On the software charts for this week, no new releases cracked the Top 10 and we saw the duo of Pok\u00e9mon titles reclaim the #1 spot. In hardware, for this first time since PlayStation 5 launched, it has now outsold Nintendo Switch for two consecutive weeks in Japan. Will PS5 be on top again next week or due to a strong Nintendo Direct yesterday, will Nintendo Switch be more in demand and be #1?

Also worth mentioning is the big jump that Xbox Series received, going from 1,000 to 14,000. See you next week!
