Switch sells 48k this week in Japan, up 3k over last week

Despite the epic launch of Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia for Nintendo 3DS, the sales of the Nintendo Switch haven’t slowed down. In fact, the Switch sold over 3k more this week than it did last week, though most of the software titles have slipped in the ranks since several new games have come out.

In fact, every title except for Monster Hunter XX on this list is a new game that came out just this week. The first Switch title appears on the software charts at number six, while Spelunker debuts at number nine on the charts. The usual suspects are still present on the list too, which shows people seem to be picking up those launch titles alongside their new Switch purchases.
