Rise is completely sold out everywhere in Japan. Even the download cards from my local convenience store are sold out.

really? i was under the impression stock had stabilized

schuelma · Apr 22, 2021

and another 3rd party franchise continues its steady march to Switch.

DarkDetective · Apr 22, 2021

Winning Post 9 2021's debut at 22.5k units on NSW and PS4 combined surprises me in a positive way.

Also good news that PS5 has caught up with the PS4 launch-aligned!

And of course, as usual, another solid week for Switch hardware and the first-party game sales.

Comic Obsessed · Apr 22, 2021

Nothing surprising really. Rise is just bound to keep selling.

Thardin · Apr 22, 2021

110.053 units for MHR based on the total sales this week ( 1.884.113) vs last week ( 1.774.063).

Edit: Fixed in the OP now :3

ILikeFeet · Apr 22, 2021

PS5 outselling PS4 aligned now and yet not a game in sight

Yep seems like a strong debut

What are the chances that Pokemon Snap pushes more Switch units in Japan?

Good to see more PS5s in Japan, even though I don't have one living in Canada yet.

Ryng™ · Apr 22, 2021

I think team2021 won... Switch momentum is just too strong right now and the hardest part was the first half of this year, with a better holiday line up 6 million should be an easy goal.

Summer is when stock stabilized last year, right? So it might be a tough comparison, even though the software slate this year for the summer is stacked.

It's certainly not over yet, but yeah 2021 is doing what it needed to so far.

Surviving the Animal Crossing surge and coming out with a 162k unit lead is pretty damn solid. Don't really see any reason why it would sell worse than last year from here on out, so I'd say that 2021 likely has a lead it won't relinquish.

What do you mean by pushes ? They are selling as many systems as they are shipping right now. So it just depends on the availability.

Norsuchamp · Apr 22, 2021

Can we expect some sort of a bigger HW bump (over 100k perhaps?) with Pokémon Snap?

EDIT: Never mind. Somebody already asked about this

+-------+------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+

The usual caveats are to be kept in mind--that 35-40% of this game's sales are digital, which is higher than any other game in the series. That would bring total sales to 2.89 - 3.1 million, which would mean it's actually keeping up with Monster Hunter 4.

(If you assume MH4 had a 10% digital share, it would have been at 3 million units sold in its fourth week.)

Hero of Legend · Apr 22, 2021

So Winning Post 9 2021 on Switch came out on top after all! :D Is this the first time in many years that a game in this series did more on a Nintendo system?

Skittzo · Apr 22, 2021

Norsuchamp said:

They're selling all of the hybrid units they ship, so it comes down to whether they're holding any for Snap week.

Zedark · Apr 22, 2021

Winning Post 9 2020 PS4 = 12.130
Winning Post 9 2020 Switch = 5.287

Winning Post 9 (2019) PS4 = 8.045
Winning Post 9 (2019) Switch = 5.171

Guaraná · Apr 22, 2021

Nice to see that PS5 is about to start to track ahead of PS4. I just dont understand why no one is buying games for it.

Maybe a few of them sold here will make it over there somehow.

RailWays · Apr 22, 2021

Nice debut for Winning Post. Monster Hunter continues to sell its stock. Same with PS5 hardware. Switch hardware holding nicely WoW

Kanann · Apr 22, 2021

Team2021 won even before E3 direct and Winter line up is pretty anti-climatic.

Also Pro model.

I guess what I am trying to say is will Nintendo put out more Switch units in Japan, similar to what they did for MHR?

35%-40% of digital share means 2.9m-3.1m sales as of last week:

Total sales = Retail sales / (1 - Digital shard)

It's certainly not over yet, but yeah 2021 is doing what it needed to so far.

Last year's Q3 was 1,287,203 units, an average of 99,016 units per week. Definitely a strong quarter there, so declaring victory or defeat makes no sense just yet imo.

At this point, it's fairly safe to assume that Rise isn't going to catch up to Monster Hunter 4 or Portable 3rd in Japan. Not the vanilla version anyway.

FWIW according to David Gibson it was already in the ballpark of ~2.5m at the 5m shipped point so it should be a bit higher by now.

Here's the weekly MH chart for Rise compared to the prior games.

Code:

+-------+------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+ | Week | MHP3rd | MH4 | Gen | World | Rise | +-------+------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+ | 1 | 2146467 | 1875115 | 1542104 | 1350412 | 1302132 | | 2 | 2660665 | 2307401 | 1916786 | 1573686 | 1579736 | | 3 | 3095502 | 2542114 | 2108110 | 1688426 | 1774063 | | 4 | 3480989 | 2706707 | 2267916 | 1774188 | 1884113 | | 5 | 3798460 | 2817937 | 2441977 | 1829103 | | | 6 | 3954299 | 2915273 | 2591564 | 1867607 | | | 7 | 4035002 | 2975479 | 2660666 | 1891958 | | | 8 | 4091452 | 3022872 | 2696775 | 1906568 | | | 9 | 4130905 | 3062039 | 2715812 | 1917492 | | | 10 | 4163560 | 3094852 | 2730268 | 1924972 | | | 11 | 4268460 | 3119536 | 2739855 | 1928196 | | | 12 | 4295325 | 3145292 | 2747082 | 1930823 | | +-------+------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+

The usual caveats are to be kept in mind--that 35-40% of this game's sales are digital, which is higher than any other game in the series. Which means that total sales are actually somewhere in the range of 2.5 - 2.6 million, bringing this game in line with the sales trend of Monster Hunter Generations.

At this point, it's fairly safe to assume that Rise isn't going to catch up to Monster Hunter 4 or Portable 3rd in Japan. Not the vanilla version anyway.

Didn't MHR hit 2.5M sales in Japan 2 weeks ago? Think you are underestimating its position a little.

Media Create Sales: Week 14, 2021 (Apr 05 - Apr 11) Sales

We know shipments were > 2.5m after 2 weeks with high sell through. We're approaching 3m if not already past it. The only game ahead of it for sure is MHP3. Rise looks to be around MH4 thus far. So yeah, you're off the mark here.

35%-40% of digital share means 2.9m-3.1m sales as of last week:

Total sales = Retail sales / (1 - Digital shard)

FWIW according to David Gibson it was already in the ballpark of ~2.5m at the 5m shipped point so it should be a bit higher by now.

I forgot to correct my formula in Excel. As Lelouch said, it should actually be in the range of 2.9 - 3.1 million, which would mean it's keeping up with MH4. Fixed. Please disregard and quote the edited post, so people aren't confused.

Super impressive, once you take the correct numbers into account!

Hopefully there is a Momotaro 3 million announcement soon in time for Golden Week.

foxuzamaki · Apr 22, 2021

Go go rise!

hiska-kun · Apr 22, 2021

I can't see any note about delaying next week's numbers. So they should come at the usual time next week.
The following one will probably be the one delayed and 2 weeks combined.

The lineup is already good before they unveil the rest of it this E3, and then we'll get a new model this year. Everything is in its favor.

The usual caveats are to be kept in mind--that 35-40% of this game's sales are digital, which is higher than any other game in the series. That would bring total sales to 2.89 - 3.1 million, which would mean it's actually keeping up with Monster Hunter 4.

(If you assume MH4 had a 10% digital share, it would have been at 3 million units sold in its fourth week.)

Click to shrink...

Again, we already explained last week why those total estimates are wrong. The digital share isn't relative to the retail number, but to the total number.

Lelouch0612 said:
35%-40% of digital share means 2.9m-3.1m sales as of last week:

Total sales = Retail sales / (1 - Digital shard)

Thank you.

So yeah, MHR is so far selling pretty much in line with MH4 or maybe even a bit better.

Edit: sorry, I'm slow and didn't see the follow-up. Glad that this is cleared then.

Ximonz · Apr 22, 2021

hope MHR's content updates can push the game further.

ReasonableAdult · Apr 22, 2021

Do other systems exist in Japan?

It's really interesting. Like, is this similar to when the PS2 dominated in its generation, where everyone you knew had a PS2? Do owners of other consoles also own Switches?

I could see there being a momentum effect where folks just buy multiplatform releases on Switch because everyone else has it on Switch.

Rise is completely sold out everywhere in Japan. Even the download cards from my local convenience store are sold out.

Anybody who wanted to purchase a physical copy of Rise could do so from Amazon Japan in the past week and a half, so I'm not sure you're speaking for "everywhere in Japan".
