Sales of Video Game hardware and software have shown considerable improvement week-on-week after quite the slump it experienced the week before. More than half of the machines listed below recorded a jump in sales with only three witnessed sales declining for the week. PS4 Pro saw number of units sold dropped 36% while its vanilla version, the PS4 rose by a tiny amount, ending the week at 3,066 units sold. New 2DS LL climbed the biggest with sales jumping nearly 42% for the week between October 26 to November 1. Nevertheless, it is the Switch (not including Switch Lite) that stole the show as it finally breached the 13,000,000 units sold mark in Japan.
It is thanks to the amazing folks over at Famitsu that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so be sure to head over to their site here and show them lots of love! The week’s data is accessible through Famitsu’s post here.

The Video Game software Top 10 chart is a lot more on the greener side as it welcomed a slew of new titles making into the chart for the first time. Pikmin 3 Deluxe sits at the top of the chart with 171,349 copies sold in its first week. Though Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster made a splash in the chart with both of its Switch and PS4 versions claiming the 2nd and 3rd spots respectively, the total sales it accumulated for the week was 101,311 copies, not enough to best Pikmin 3 Deluxe.
