Damn...Switch held up strong, considering its the calm before the storm.
2021 has been really impressive so far, i expected 21>20 but still good to see this early.

Edit:
PS5 sales been quite solid for this months as well. They are slowly building some momentum - RE8 cant release soon enough though, because - at least retail wise software aint sellin much right now.

Nice Xbox Series jump. What is the supply situation? Are they still selling through everything that's shipped?

PS5 holding well. PS4 only did 33k on Week 12 2014 for comparison.

that's right.

still pretty much impossible to get online as it goes OOS asap, and locality sells out fast (within the day) as well.

Been getting more restocks lately at least.

02./00. [NSW] Densha de Go!! Hashirou Yamanotesen <SLG> (Square Enix) {2021.03.18} (¥5.800) - 24.393 / NEW

🤩🤩🤩

We are far from its hey-days (Densha de GO was a million seller on PS1) but this new entry did pretty good on its own! This is how it did on PS4 back in December:

10./00. [PS4] Densha de Go!! Hashirou Yamanotesen <SLG> (Square Enix) {2020.12.03} (¥7.800) - 21.592 / NEW <60-80%>

In fact, by adding up the two versions, it's the third best debut ever for the franchise after 1 and 2 on PS1.

Good week for Nintendo and Sony. I'm on the believe Sony could do a lot better just to give confidence to publishers and to satisfy their hardcore audience.

Hope Maglam Lord does alright :( Not looking good though.

I can understand because the game is visually crazy rough, but I bought it anyway to support my Summon Night peeps.

People have been laughing at PlayStation 5 performance in Japan, declaring it dead and all that but what I see is that despite a lunch 3 times smaller than of PlayStation 4, a pathetic Japanese third party catalogue and a quite expensive price it is far outpacing weekly PlayStation 4 sales and it will catch it launch aligned very soon. Demand at this moment seems comfortably higher than of their previous console , we can speculate about what will happen in the long run but so far the only objective thing we have are its first months sales and these are not below of previous Sony console if we follow the sales tendecy.

Yeah, with the recent weeks included, things are looking quite a bit better for PS5, and there appears to be some decent demand for it (we'll have to wait and see how big the demand is, since it's still OOS). The comparison is difficult what with the pandemic, but the numbers themselves are pretty decent.

For HW, that is. Not SW.

Hardware sales mean nothing without software to back it up. On the retail front, performance has been abysmal for the PS5. It's clear these PS5 owners are not really buying PS5 games and that should scare Sony.

The big talking point for weeks have been software.

Initial hardware allocation was absurdly low but well, they still sold what they shipped.

People have been laughing at PlayStation 5 performance in Japan, declaring it dead and all that but what I see is that despite a lunch 3 times smaller than of PlayStation 4, a pathetic Japanese third party catalogue and a quite expensive price it is far outpacing weekly PlayStation 4 sales and it will catch it launch aligned very soon. Demand at this moment seems comfortably higher than of their previous console , we can speculate about what will happen in the long run but so far the only objective thing we have are its first months sales and these are not below of previous Sony console if we follow the sales tendecy.

PS5 has yet to satisfy the initial demand composed by Sony enthusiastic buyers, which was estimated to about 600-700k units. We will see if after initial demand has been covered PS5 will keep selling 30-35k on a weekly basis or not.

I can understand why Jack Jeanne is sold out. 15k is a great result for a visual novel. Hopefully a timely second shipment and word of mouth can give it some legs. Unlike most visual novels, which drop like a rock after launch.
