Japan: Nintendo Switch sells 56K & Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes debuts at #1

It’s that time of the week again where its time to find out how video gaming hardware and physical gaming software did in Japan. Famitsu has decided to release the latest boxed video game and hardware charts. As usual, both of these sales charts are followed by lifetime sales.

This week’s sales includes the release of Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. According to Famitsu, the game had sold 97,538 copies. This is enough for the game to debut at the very top of the charts, at number one. Meanwhile, the Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED and Switch Lite sold a combined total of 56,549 units.
