Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Hits Another Milestone As Pokémon Pokopia’s Reign Continues
The Japanese physical games chart for the week of March 30 to April 5, 2026, continues to be dominated by Pokémon Pokopia, which maintains its position as the number-one selling game despite a slight decline in sales. The collaboration between Game Freak and Omega Force sold 45,484 copies during the week, showing smaller losses compared to the previous week’s more significant drop in overall sales.
Pokopia’s sustained popularity demonstrates the continued strength of the Pokémon franchise in the Japanese market. The title is rapidly approaching 1 million physical sales and maintains a commanding lead over its competition, with only two other games managing to exceed 5,000 physical copies sold during the week.
The chart reflects a strong presence of Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 titles, with the Switch 2 achieving a significant milestone of 5 million units sold in Japan. This milestone underscores the successful launch and early adoption of the next-generation console in the Japanese market. While the overall market shows some weakness in sales volume compared to recent weeks, the concentration of sales among top performers like Pokopia suggests sustained consumer interest in premium gaming experiences on Nintendo’s platforms.
