## Summary

Switch 2 sales in Japan rose to 68,733 in the week ahead of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, a marked increase from the mid-20,000s usually recorded. The rise coincided with the launch of a Zelda special edition console and anticipation of the game, though the article says the cause is assumed rather than confirmed.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort remained the best-selling game, shifting about 23,000 copies. Minecraft for Switch 2 debuted in third, while Hello Kitty Party Land entered the charts in seventh on Switch 2 and eighth on the original Switch; the PS5 family sold 16,235 consoles combined, ahead of the original Switch’s 5,853.
