It is a beginning 2020 with a bang, the one experienced by Nintendo Switch in Japan: this is confirmed by the numbers released by the magazine Famitsu , in reference to the period between on December 30, 2019 and January 12, 2020. In fact, the top 10 are dominated by only video games intended for the hybrid of the Nintendo house, which – as was expected – detaches everyone even in the hardware-related charts.
