Japanese Charts: Pikmin 4 Maintains Dominance As Switch Surpasses 30 Million Units

This week’s Japanese Charts are in, courtesy of Famitsu (thanks, Gematsu) and it’s Nintendo’s own Pikmin 4 out in the lead again with an additional 115,697 in unit sales.

Elsewhere, we’ve got a few newcomers this week, with Natsu-Mon! 20th Century Summer Vacation coming in at number two, and CRYMACHINA for Switch and PS5 at positions six and ten respectively. The western launch of CRYMACHINA will follow on October 24th, 2023.

Disney Illusion Island also debuts at number seven with a total of 7,172 sales, which puts it considerably higher than what it managed in the UK, where it debuted at position eighteen.
