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.
