Famitsu has provided the latest look at the Japanese boxed charts, and it’s Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2 that’s taken the top spot this week on the Switch. It’s only just beat Mario Kart World, but if you also take into account the PS5 sales at number five, then its lead is considerably more substantial.
We’ve got a few new releases this week, including the boxed version of Castlevania Advance Collection at number seven. Meanwhile, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is also performing well, resulting in yet another week in which two MK titles have made the top ten. Remarkable.
Here’s a closer look at this week’s top 10:

Hardware this week yields no change in the top ten, with the Switch 2 once again claiming the top spot. Cumulative Switch sales reach 18,637 units this week, while the PS5 has managed a total of 7,141. So yes, despite Nintendo launching a brand new console, mind you, the previous-gen Switch managed to outsell the PS5 by more than 2:1.
