This week in Japan, Pikmin 1+2 came out on top with a total of 23,941 units sold in its physical debut. Following closely is, of course, Pikmin 4 with a further 22,894 copies sold. There’s not a lot between the two, which potentially suggests that many will have opted for a digital copy of Pikmin 1+2 earlier in the year.

Elsewhere, the rather brilliant Lies of P has made its debut on the PS5 with a total of 9,493 copies sold to come in at number three. Otherwise, the rest of the line-up this week looks petty familiar, with Super Bomberman R 2 rounding out the top ten.

Here’s this week’s top ten software sales in full:

  1. [NSW] Pikmin 1+2 (Nintendo, 09/22/23) – 23,941 (New)

Gosh, this is a familiar sight, huh? Yes, the hardware charts remain relatively unchanged this week, with the Switch OLED and PlayStation 5 leading the pack. Xbox has seen a bit of an uptick in sales, which is nice to see, but otherwise, it looks to be business as usual.
