Well, I figured I should just publish the partial list rather than holding onto it till tomorrow. Please note that the full Top 30 list will be out via Famitsu tomorrow (GMT +9, around 11 AM or 12 PM).
Let’s change things up a little and talk about sales for hardware the week between July 20 to July 26. Sales of Nintendo Switch has climbed for the week passing more than a 100,000 units sold, Switch Lite on the other hand slumped albeit a little at around 6%. The biggest drop was the PS4, with the Standard Edition falling 72% while the Pro Edition plunged 59% for the week. You can find the hardware sales data here (near the bottom of Famitsu’s post).
