"Princess Peach Showtime! " is an action game starring Princess Peach from the " Super Mario" series." series, sales remained strong selling 19,612 units. Cumulative sales have reached 124,432 units, ranking first for three consecutive weeks.

“Rise of the Ronin” ranked third and is a completely new open-world action RPG set in Japan at the end of the Edo period. The strategic combat action is gaining popularity, previous works Nioh and Ninja Gaiden have been well-received for its crunchy action and diverse play elements and sold 12,080 units this week. We can expect continued sales in the future.

There are many other works that are regulars in the top 10 but I would like to focus on the five works that ranked from 6th to 10th. Splatoon3, Nintendo Switch Sports, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Momotaro Dentetsu World and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate all of which are fun to play against and interact with.

Ronin is having good legs, they should do some price promotions next month for it, to keep it going.

Dragons Dogma 2 nowhere to be seen 🤯

PS5 hardware sales is just bad. Something needs to be done with the pricing

Pretty uneventful week besides the 71k(!) Switch sold.
Mario Kart 8 being up by 25% is probably because very related to the increase in Switch sold, just an evergreen title.
RotR is having decent holds.

Other than that, it's the usual Switch software list plus PS5 being down in the dumps.

Pricing would help some but seems like most there just like mobile games or on the go gaming like switch even if the games look and play like hot garbage

Pricing + bundle does help though. Look what it did for Spiderman 2 sales earlier this year or the good legs of GT7 in Japan.

They don't have their finger on the pulse though, a game like this has potential there but needs another retail push.
