Famitsu Top 30 Software Sales 1/31 through 2/6

The Japanese publication Famitsu has posted the top 30 software sales from 1/31 through 2/6. As expected, Nintendo continues its dominance in the Japanese market. There are only two PlayStation games in the entire chart, and that is Dying Light 2 for the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 5. All of the other 28 games are Nintendo Switch games. Pokemon Legends Arceus took the top spot, followed by Dying Light 2 (PS4), Mario Party Superstars, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Look for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s sales to soar after the latest DLC announcement. Here are the other games that made the chart.

With so many high-quality titles coming out in the coming months, it will be interesting to see if Nintendo maintains its dominance or if Sony can somehow stage a comeback. Because as of right now, things do not look good for them.
