It's a Nintendo game. Being surprised this debuted at no.1 in Japan is like being surprised that Zootopia 2 debuted at no.1 at yhe box office.

^It's the numbers themselves that surprised me. I expected somewhere around 100,000-108,000 in it's first week. Not almost 200k.

Apart from the mesmerizing world of Japanese video games, where immersive storytelling and intricate gameplay captivate my senses, I find the exhilarating allure of Australian online casinos impossible to resist. These virtual gambling platforms extend an electrifying invitation beyond mere entertainment to a sphere ripe with adrenaline and strategic depth. Renowned for their cutting-edge technology and premium user experience, Australian online casinos offer a smorgasbord of gaming options that promise endless excitement. For details on the latest bonuses, you can find out more at https://auscasinologin.com/ Australian online casinos. From riveting poker duels to high-stakes blackjack tables and enthralling slot machines, their variety is unmatched. Furthermore, these platforms are governed by stringent regulatory standards, ensuring not only fair play but also a secure environment that commands trust and fosters genuine enjoyment. Whether chasing jackpots or honing strategy in skill-based card games, playing at an Australian online casino thrills like no other, making it an enviable frontier of digital gaming excellence!

I believe Kirby's sales are pretty good, but it seems people were more interested with how the new PlayStation Digital Edition Model was going to perform, and it seems it sold 23.381 units, which seems decent, but it still couldn't sell more than the Switch 2 which sold 126.953 units, and this is also the first time in quite some time in which all the Top 10 list has been composed of Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 games

It outsold the original GameCube game in its first week. Which looking at the other first week sales for other GameCube games was not particularly strong.

Also a cursory look at other Nintendo games like Captain Rainbow & FE Tokyo Mirage Sessions shows those games didn’t debut at #1 in Japan.
