\"Sonic<\/a>Image: SEGA<\/p>\n

Famitsu<\/a> has published the latest boxed charts for Japan, and we’ve got a few newcomers this week to mix up the top ten.<\/p>\n

In pole position is Silent Hill f<\/a> for the PS5, which starts strong with 57,475 units sold. Not too far behind, however, is Mario Kart World<\/a>, adding another 35,027 to its running total. In fact, the newly-released Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds<\/a> couldn’t keep up with Nintendo’s kart racer, and lands at number 9 with 5,571 units sold.<\/p>\n

It’s important to note that Sonic’s appeal in Japan isn’t quite on par with Western audiences, and it’s equally just as likely that folks are simply waiting for the Switch 2 version, which is due to launch later this year.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian<\/a> also makes its debut, with the Switch version beating the PS5 version to sell 10,425 copies in its launch week.<\/p>\n

Overall, Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED sold a total of 23,110 units this week, while PS5, PS5 Digital, and PS5 Pro managed a total of 16,911. A win for the previous-gen Switch then, wheeey!<\/p>\n\nPosition
