It means the top 30 best-selling games of the past week (I thought it was month, I stand corrected) were all Switch games.

Ahh I see, yeah that is pretty damn impressive. And last time it happened in the 80's all 30 of them were Famicom games, that's cool. I feel like this one now is a lot more impressive though, since the Switch has a lot more competition with the other consoles out now than the Famicom did with other consoles back then.

Damn I'm surprised some of those games are up there. I didn't know Minecraft was so big in Japan. Also Crayon Shinchan seems like a weird #3. And Human Fall Flat.

It will be interesting to see the Japanese numbers of it considering mobile/handheld is king there.

Weebs aren't Japanese. That's why they're weebs.

Stories like this are why I laugh when people say Nintendo has to change the way they do business.

Not surprising. While Sony has tried to appease the West by changing a lot of what they are, Nintendo has managed to keep hold of both Audiences.

Have to show respect to that success. And this is coming from a Playstation fan.
