Famitsu has decided to release the latest video game and boxed hardware rankings. This time, it's for the week of January 6-12. 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 Super Mario Party Jamboree, which reached the top spot of this week's rankings. Meanwhile, the Switch OLED model was #1 on the hardware sales chart.
