Powerful Pro Baseball Debuts Atop Famitsu’s Japan Boxed Charts as Switch 2 Holds Hardware Lead

Konami’s new Baseball sold strongly in Japan and Switch 2 continued to outpace rival consoles, though Famitsu’s numbers cover only physical domestic sales.

Overview

  • Famitsu’s weekly boxed-sales report for the week of June 8–14 shows Powerful Pro Baseball 2026-2027 for Switch opened at about 100,976 retail copies to claim the number-one spot.
  • Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream fell to second place with roughly 37,888 boxed sales that week, bringing its lifetime total to about 1,347,070 units.
  • Switch 2 led hardware sales with 25,793 units sold that week and a reported lifetime of about 5.914 million units, far outpacing PlayStation and Xbox SKUs in Japan.
  • The PlayStation 5 Digital Edition was the best-performing non-Nintendo SKU at 6,610 units that week, while other notable boxed software placements included eFootball Kick-Off! and Pokémon Pokopia.
  • All outlets publishing the chart note that Famitsu tracks only Japan physical boxed sales, so these figures do not include digital downloads or overseas sales that shape a game’s full market performance.
