The latest Japanese charts are in and thanks to ‘Golden Week’, today’s figures cover two weeks’ worth of sales, from April 25th to May 8th. This means, of course, that’s it’s the debut entry of Nintendo Switch Sports, which storms to the top of the pile with 304,588 units sold.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land continues to sell well, clawing back into a second spot with 77,330 units sold. Elsewhere, it seems to be business as usual for the heavily Switch-centric graphics, with just one PS4 game making its way into the line-up.

Here are the full figures for the week:
