The entire Japanese chart is again entirely Nintendo Switch games – Konami raises the box office at the top two

Fresh Japanese physical games sales chart presented by Famitsu, again entirely composed of positions for one single console – Nintendo SwitchA week earlier, this happened for the first time since 1988, when the Famicom System (NES) ruled the ball.

The first line of the rating this time was occupied by a new card game from the company KonamiYu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel: Saikyou Battle Royale… She found almost 100,000 customers in retail at the start – this is the best result in the series in 19 years.

The second place is also taken by the game from Konami – Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teibanreleased last fall and has long managed to overcome the milestone of 3 million copies in Japan (including digital sales). During the reporting week, the demand for it increased by 101%

Sales of most of the games on the chart increased as the reporting period fell on holidays – in Japan they celebrated Obon… Nintendo Switch itself has grown from 72 to 89 thousand consoles sold.
