First week of Media Create sales data for 2018 shows Switch going up, up up

Japan kicks off the new year with fans still snapping up Switch units as if their lives depended on it. It sold just over 146,000 units according to Media Create data, the second set of figures out this week as they catch up with business. The first set rounded out the 2017 data.

01 Splatoon 2   117,840 / 1,882,709
02 Super Mario Odyssey 110.816 / 1,508,148
03 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – 82,808 / 1,215,599
