Japan charts: Super Mario Party Jamboree beats the competition (week 42/2024) – ntower

New week, new numbers from the land of video games. In the Japan-Charts This time let’s look at the period from October 14th to 20th, which even has something exciting to offer in the hardware sector. For the first time in a long time, a “new” console is entering the charts – or at least one that is counted separately. Microsoft has recently started offering its Xbox Series X as a digital edition and was able to enter fifth place. In terms of software, two new releases have risen to the top: Super Mario Party Jamboree and Professional Baseball Spirits 2024-2025 dominate sales by a wide margin.
