Nintendo sells 78K Switch and 39K 3DS in Japan

It’s Wednesday which means it is time to find out which software and hardware were the best-sellers in Japan last week. The Nintendo Switch has been doing well still despite the troubles of getting on in store or online as they have been selling out everywhere and it easily claimed the number one position this week. It was followed by the Nintendo 3DS which is still selling great.
