The highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 port of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has made a strong debut in Japan, securing the second spot on the Famitsu sales charts for the week of June 1-7, 2026. Despite the high-profile Square Enix release, Nintendo's evergreen life-simulation title Tomodachi Life maintained its absolute dominance at number one, pushing past 1.3 million total copies sold.
According to the latest Famitsu data, Tomodachi Life moved an impressive 50,151 copies this week. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on the Switch 2 followed closely, moving 30,657 units in its opening week. Konami also saw a successful next-gen launch, with eFootball Kick-Off! taking third place after selling 20,047 copies on the Switch 2.
The top five was entirely dominated by Nintendo's ecosystem, rounded out by Pokémon Pokopia and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, both continuing to perform well on the Switch 2 hardware.

The Switch 2 Software Transition Is Accelerating
Looking closely at the Famitsu data, the software transition from the original Switch to the Switch 2 is progressing at a remarkably healthy pace. Half of the top 10 titles are now native Switch 2 games, indicating that early adopters are actively purchasing software for the new hardware rather than relying solely on backward compatibility. The immediate success of third-party titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and eFootball Kick-Off! proves that publishers outside of Nintendo are already finding a lucrative audience on the platform.
Meanwhile, Sony's PlayStation 5 maintains a steady, albeit smaller, presence on the physical charts. Titles like 007 First Light, Astrobot, and Ghost of Yotei continue to chart, but they are vastly outnumbered by Nintendo's family-friendly juggernauts. The fact that an eight-year-old game like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is still moving over 2,300 physical copies a week highlights the unparalleled long-tail sales power of Nintendo's first-party catalog.
