For A Second Consecutive Week, Switch Has Taken Japan’s Entire Top 30 Software Chart

Last week, the Nintendo Switch managed to lock out Japan's entire top 30 software chart, becoming the first system to do since 1988. The success was described as "unprecedented", yet here we are, seven days later, and it's all happening again.
