Every game on the list is for the Nintendo Switch? No Playstation games at all?

Yes, this is the fifth time so far this year that the Top 30 is dominated by Switch games, next week the situation probably will change considering Soul Hackers 2 has already came out. Still, it's kind of incredible how few software the PS5 is selling in Japan, Gran Turismo 7 was one of the few titles that charted the previous week, but that's probably because it's a bundled game. I suppose the PS5 situatuion will get worse considering the recently announced price increase, not to mention that the console still doesn't have a true killer-app, the closest is Final Fantasy XVI, and I don't think it will move that many consoles. Nintendo doesn't even need to release new hardware, Splatoon 3 and Pokémon S/V are going to be huge hits in Japan.
