Japan: Mario & Luigi Brotherhood debuts at #1

It’s that time of the week again when it’s time to find out how video game hardware and physical gaming software fared in Japan. Famitsu has decided to release the latest video game and boxed hardware rankings. This time, it’s for the week of November 4-11. As usual, both of these sales charts track lifetime sales.

This week has been a very successful one for Nintendo. Of the 10 games listed on the software sales chart, 9 of them are Switch games. One of them is Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood, which came out last week and debuted on the charts at number one. Meanwhile, the PlayStation 5 Pro was #1 on the hardware sales chart.
