40% of the top ten is Sony, if this keeps up there won't be any Switch games at all in a month!

honestly didn't expect FF7R to be so high given you could buy a used copy of the PS4 game and upgrade for cheaper

Last Xbox spike was 1,929 in March. Sales since then averaged 673 a week.

Let's see if Xbox can keep sending 1K to 2K a week.

I was thinking that felt a bit oof for Game Builder Garage - I'd hoped for a bit more - but then I looked below it.

OOF.

Edit: Oh, forgot about the upgrade. I take back the oof.

Well it's in line for last week lol. iirc it was doing 300-500 per week for some time. We'll see if they can keep the 2k weekly numbers though.

As pointed by the interview and by the vast majority of people living in Japan, it will depend on stock levels, not saying the ceiling is high or anything like that.. but clearly not meeting demand as we speak.

Even today amazon jp got some stock, sold out asap and it's first on the rankings..

Just like the PS5, I think the Xbox series in Japan is also being scalped to other Asian countries, I could find them both in the game shops in my country (Indonesia) lol

No retail Xbox software except Gears Tactics I think. All digital.

These threads need more click baity titles like the ones for the UK sales threads. Something like "Game Building Garage doubles sales of FF7 Remake and R&C combined". That would certainly get the rest of Era's attention lol

Ah, I hadn't realized there wasn't physical software though I suppose it makes sense, given the small size of Xbox's market there previously and that Game Pass is likely the key value proposition.

the last thing these threads need is more attention from the rest of era, lol. as it is, there's enough people who hate these threads for no reason.

MS really need to make official Xbox presence here though if they want my money. Still no Indonesia region which means no local unit, warranty and no gamepass.

Understandable, you can get by using game pass setting your account in other territory but warranty (lack of it) is a major issue, I wouldn't get it for that reason.

How do we think SMTV will perform on Switch? I can't remember how past entries did.

[3DS] Shin Megami Tensei IV (Atlus) {2013-05-23} – 184,811 / 259,177

So this is how much SMT 4 sold on 3DS. I'm actually gonna go big with it and say SMT 5 will sell 500K just because of how much work Atlus is putting into the game.

We went from this with the 3DS game


To this on the Switch


That's a big upgrade so I'm expecting good sales.

Bad for FFVII. Pretty good for garage.

Monster Hunter is dropping really fast. I guess #TeamFall will win.

Those XBS sales are better than any week the XBO ever had past its second week. Since the last week of February it has been performing better overall than the XBO did from late February to mid June 2015. The ~5000-unit difference in their launch weeks is the only think keeping the XBS from being ahead LTD.

Now catching up to the 360 is the real challenge. In any case, I wonder why the XBS is performing better than the XBO in Japan.

Besides Ninja Gaiden and Garage, new releases just floundered. GG looks to have flopped in Japan. Curious what got Amazon Japan so upset at the game for the reviews lol.

Well I've said in the last thread but FF7R-I did more than I've expected.

People can just get used PS4 copies, upgrade, and buy the Yuffie DLC for much cheaper than the full price ¥8.980 surely.

Also 39% drop for MHR is quite steep?

If it can get to Xbox original numbers it would already be a great success in my mind (I'm thinking half of that is more likely tho), after how low it went with xbox one. 360 sold a lot, because it had dozens of jp exclusives.. it won't happen.

Game pass, jp loves game pass, all my jp xbox friends love it and they are like mushroom on twitter, always more and more.

Good Game Builder Garage opening and a nice hold for Ring Fit Adventure. Everything else SW-wise is meh to abysmal.

Nice boost for Xbox series consoles, and a decent bump for PS5.

Those XBS sales are better than any week the XBO ever had past its second week. Since the last week of February it has been performing better overall than the XBO did from late February to mid June 2015. The ~5000-unit difference in their launch weeks is the only think keeping the XBS from being ahead LTD.

Now catching up to the 360 is the real challenge. In any case, I wonder why the XBS is performing better than the XBO in Japan.
Well right now we won't know when/if it slows down. Could be when it finally matches XB1 launch aligned.

Game Pass could also be a system seller.
