We can chat how much we want how much the new approach of Mario Kart World has convinced us or not, just as we can be enthusiastic or lukewarm in front of the strong continuity line chosen by Nintendo Switch 2.
In any way, think, there is incontrovertible certainty, and it is that Nintendo continues to sell like bread on the home market.
This is confirmed by the sales charts of games in Japan, released by Famitsu, relating to last week. Taking the top 10, in practice, all the games are for Switch or Switch 2, with the only exception represented by Death Stranding 2, the recent exclusive PS5 signed by Kojima Productions.
