All software were up in copies sold mainly due to the week coinciding with the Black Friday event. Last week’s champion, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet was the only one to suffer a drop in sales on the Top 10, nevertheless, it still saw a strong turnout of 577,279 units sold. If the title keeps up with at least another 350,000 copies sold or more the week after (which it may very well do), it can overtake Splatoon 3. Without further ado, the full list is as follows:
