Charts Japan: the Switch and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe ensure the show

Here are the best sellers of games and consoles in Japan for the week of 7 to 13 February 2022, established and communicated as always by the magazine famitsu.

It is still a wide victory for legends Pokémon: Arceus, whose 2 million sales can be celebrated in the cartridge format next week. This week, however, it can be awarded a special mention to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe which is the only game whose sales have increased from one week to another, this one month before the kickoff of the Additional Circuit Pass that will not do that strengthen its longevity.

The rest of the Top 10 has the usual heads, except any like that of Dying Light 2: Stay Human which makes the resistance in its PS4 version. As for the last vogue otome game that sneaked in the top 10, we used its small name for practical reasons, but you will know that its complete blase in English gives My Next Life As a Villass: All Routes Lead to Doom ! – Pirates That Stir The Waters, in the great tradition of the endless titles of Novels_Lights.

While she could take a little rest before the big outflow, including Kirby and the forgotten world, the Switch prefers to take off with a far from 120,000 sales, still carried by its OLED model that represents more than half of this Big figure. Meanwhile, the shape of the PS5 and the Xbox Series is always conditioned by their availability, to the point that the Sony console has never been so close to being preceded by that of Microsoft, even the space of one week.
