Famitsu has released its videogame sales chart for the week from 5 to 11 February 2024.
After 2 weeks filled with new games for PlayStation systems, no big titles were released this week so the dominating titles from the holiday season came back to the top: the top seller game was Super Mario Bros. Wonder (SWI) with 16,978 units sold while the runner-up was Momotaro Dentetsu World (SWI) with 10,254 units sold and the third place is held by a title that is perfoming very well, Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island (SWI) with 10,244 units sold which is aiming to become the best title in this long series.
There was only one game debuting in the chart, Helldivers II (PS5) with 3,358 at #20 and three titles re-entered the chart: WarioWare: Move It! (SWI) with 3,030 units sold at #24, Ring Fit Adventure (SWI) with 2,914 units sold at #25 and Super Mario Party (SWI) with 2,642 units sold at #27.
Combined sales for the top 10 titles are 92,723 units, a huge step down from the previous week and the worst result for a week since the beginning of October 2023, but after 10 weeks of strong sales derived by the holiday season the result seems worse but it’s in line for an average week without relevant new releases.
Hardware side, Switch sold 36,770 units increasing from the previous week but the same happened for PlayStation 5 (34,940 units) while Switch Lite is keeping the trend and sold 8,031 units which granted the third place, PlayStation 5 Digital had a drop with 5,805 units sold and Switch is stable with 4,742 units sold; Xbox Series X keeps the momentum probably derived from Palworld joining the Game Pass and sold 2,167 units while Playstation 4 (940 units) narrowly wins against Xbox Series S (926 units).
