Mobile is still literally 85% of the japanese market. But yeah, at least the hybrid status for the Switch helps the actual console-like games performance in Japan.

Again, the only thing that's affecting the PS4 is software. As long as it get it, it will do fine.
It amazes me that the 3DS can still sell over 60,000. Impressive. This may be the last time we see Vita selling over 10k? :(
I want to repost this since it was at the tail end of the old thread:
...
Switch titles going for over retail price on Amazon.co.jp [Many of them are sold out at retail]:
1 2 Switch Retail 5378yen Currently: 6800yen
Dragonball Xenoverse 2 over 9000! yen
ARMS Retail 6458yen Currently: 7212yen
Zelda BOTW Retail 7538yen Currently: 8840
Disgaea 5 Retail: 7980yen Currently: 7980yen (not a price increase but at 10 months old this title has kept 100% of it's value)
Pokken Retail 6458yen Currently: 7700yen
Xenoblade 2 Retail: 8618yen Currently: 9027yen
Snipperclips Retail: 3542yen Currently 4215yen
There are many more as well.
Some of the discound might not look like much but Amazon in Japan like in the US usually sells games for below retail. For example, I got my copy of ARMS at launch from amazon for 5500yen despite the retail being 6458yen. The prices going up on software that is 6+ moths old is really unprecedented. I have never actually seen anything like this... Even during the height of the DS craze.
The shortages are real!

Famitsu digital estimates for December and January will be very interesting.
I think it's supposed to come out after the Better Together update.
To be fair, mobile is bigger than the console market in almost every country.
Should definitely be well above 5m, digital sales for it were quite high
I said that because the only way I see FE declining is if the game has poor wom. I did forget about the multiple versions of Fates though and that makes thing interesting. At the same time this is post FEH and that could have an effect as well.
I'm just going to say I expect it to sell more than Awakening lol.
this isnt nintendo's fault. stores didnt order enough copies. lots of switch games are suffering from this
Breath of the Wild could become the best-selling Zelda game of all time worldwide (not counting re-releases), it makes me very happy.
How are it's sales in Japan in comparison to games like OoT or TP? I found only the worldwide figures online.

unfortunately, there's only one new blade being added (pray for Elma)
also, has there ever been a game that rose in the charts due to DLC?
BOTW and Super Bomberman R? Pretty sure the DLC got both to be higher than just prior to their DLC being released.
tbh I hope the dlc blade is Fi and the master sword but a third party collab blade is fine though
I think it's Legend of Zelda > Ocarina of Time > TP > BOTW. Not sure if BOTW already surpassed TP, but Zelda 1 and OoT are above 1M. I think BOTW can at least outsell OoT in the long run.
I can't believe how quickly Mario Odyssey is going to be become the best selling 3D Mario in Japan.
It's only below SM64DS and 3D Land right? Anyone got the LTD's of those handy?
What a great move this turned out to be for The Pokemon Company. I'm guessing we'll hear it shipped one million worldwide soon enough.
It is destined to be the second game to sell over 2 million on home console in the past 8 years.
I doubt they'd do another third party collab. though maybe the Nomura designs got them some bonuses. Zelda would be cool though
As a huge Nintendo fan it's great to see them doing so well again with Switch.
What is it about Splatoon than makes it so huge in Japan. Is it the characters, the style in general, the gameplay or a mix of it all? It's truly fascinating to see a new Nintendo IP outsell the likes of Mario, Mario Kart and Zelda!

Are we talking about sales potential or quality? Fire Emblem Awakening is obviously what Intelligent Systems should build on if they want the series to continue to sell well, but if we're talking strictly about quality, saying that Shadows of Valentia is the best is a totally defensible position (although Awakening is still my favourite). It's a really great game.
