Overview
- Reports from French journalist Oscar Lemaire, which surfaced Wednesday, indicate Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream led France’s 2026 physical launch sales.
- Lemaire previously put Resident Evil: Requiem’s French launch at about 70,000 boxed copies, setting a bar the new title is reported to have cleared.
- Outlets stress the ranking covers only retail discs and cartridges, so it leaves out digital downloads that can dominate some genres.
- Nintendo has not released official sales figures, and reporters advise waiting for broader country data and digital splits to gauge overall performance.
- Momentum extends beyond France, as UK charts show the game as the week’s top physical seller and one analyst said its launch outpaced Pokémon Pokopia’s by 36%.
