Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream has become a huge hit, quickly rising to become one of the best-selling games available.

It’s easy to see why Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is so popular with Nintendo Switch players! A combination of fond memories and the fun of a delightfully messy game – creating silly characters and watching the funny things they do – has quickly made it a favorite.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream had a remarkably successful week, selling over 500,000 physical copies in Japan. That’s an impressive feat – it sold more copies than the next seven best-selling games combined!

The past week saw the release of some exciting new video games, including Pragmata and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. Here’s a look at the ten best-selling games in Japan last week (according to Famitsu), which shows just how well Living the Dream is performing.

  1. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream – 565,405
  2. Pragmata – 36,470
  3. Pokopia – 19,096
  4. Mario Kart World – 5,130
  5. Minecraft – 3,550

Even though both Pragmata and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream just came out, Tomodachi Life is proving to be much more popular, easily surpassing its competitor.

These sales figures only cover physical copies sold in Japan, so the total worldwide, including digital sales, is likely much higher. Reports suggest the game is incredibly popular, with the physical version already sold out in many places.
