@NEStalgia
Last year's top 10 video game sales in Japan included games other than Pokémon.

1 - Pokemon Scarlet Violet
2 - Splatoon 3
3 - Pokemon Legends Arceus
4 - Kirby and the forgotten Land
5 - Nintendo Switch Sports
6 - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
7 - Minecraft
8 - Mrio Party Super Stars
9 - Smash Bros Ultimate
10 - Elden Ring

Interestingly, Microsoft Japan has higher sales than Sony Interactive Entertainment. This is almost entirely due to sales of the Switch version of Minecraft.

Re: Xbox Wire Officially Launches In Japan

I'm glad to see the Xbox growing in Japan. At this rate, I'd like to see games like State of Decay 2 and Psychonauts translated into Japanese.

In Japan, there is a problem that for some reason Square Enix's Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts were not included in the Game Pass. (Interestingly, PS Now has them.)
