I'm confused why is PS4 dominating the amount of games on these retailers charts when the software itself doesn't sell well?
Hmm, MS kind of botched the box worldwide. In Canada they goofed the text on the back cover:
(Not my pic)
You can see the Spanish version of SURVIVE is typed as SOBREVIVe. They forgot to capitalize that last "e" so it sticks out like a sore thumb. Plus they differ in how they type "Super Mario Mash-Up Pack" as well. Some lack the hyphen, some don't capitalize the "u" in "Up". My OCD can't handle this! :P
Also. I'm sad they didn't seize the opportunity to advertise the XBL account usage and the XBL achievement system. They should also show that you can have the Halo Mash-Up Pack (or whatever it's called) as well as other MS characters including Banjo characters. And don't get me started on the lack of screens! :P
For now, tsutaya only, Comg!:

We'll see GEO later.
Edit: look last week

YSO predictions
01. [NSW] Mario Tennis Aces < 50k (average 40k) [week 2]
02. [NSW] Minecraft < 45k (average 35k) [week 2]
03. [NSW] Splatoon 2 < 20k (average 15k) [week 50]
Nice. If their predictions come true, then Aces will have eclipsed Ultra Smash's LTD by its second week and reached 200k by its third.
Now i wonder if the project of that Switch Jrpg will still continue or not there.
Furyu failure is kinda sad. They are investing on all the wrong product recently.
They put hope on Caligula when Alliance Alive is much much better received. And then. Not trying to release the new Caligula on Switch to take advantage of the hot selling system is baffling as PS4 and Switch combo release should be able to help sold more than what they got there.
That's the limit of how much money they can burn I guess
Cygames have much much much much more money to spend than FuRyu
They also released approximately 0 game on console, so I wouldn't call their approach better for the moment, they just are filthy rich and are spending a shitton of money on projects we have yet to see playable to the public, to say they have been better than FuRyu is rather ironic in fact, would have FuRyu's fate as a dev/publiher turn out differently by focusing on a couple projects in development for years targeting high end budgets? Who knows, but had they fail the end result would've been the exact same or even worse, and if they didn't that's probably because they couldn't afford it in the first place.
Are you sure?
Famitsu just posted June's monthly sales and they only go until week 25 (ending on June 24th).

今週のランキングもSwitch「マリオテニス エース」が1位となりました。先週に引き続き、2週連続での1位獲得となります。
2位には新作のPS4「ザ クルー2（ネット専用）」がランクインしておりますが、"モータースポーツデラックスパック"のプロダクトコードがセットになったゲオ限定商品を取り扱っていることもあり、初週で前作の累計販売を超える販売となりました。また6位のSwitch「イース8 -Lacrimosa of DANA-」はPS Vita→PS4→Switchと3機種目の発売ですが、まずまずの初動となっております。
「キングダム ハーツ -HD1.5+2.5 リミックス-」、「ウイニングイレブン 2018」など時事的なもので売上ランキングが伸びている商品にも注目です。

Comment of Mr. Takafumi Muto
"Switch of this week 's ranking "Mario tennis ace" became first place. Continuing from last week, it will be number one in 2 consecutive weeks.
In the second place, the new PS 4 "The crew 2 (net only)" is ranked in, but sometimes dealing with the Geo limited item that the product code of "Motor Sports Deluxe Pack" was set, It became a sale exceeding the cumulative sales of the previous work in the first week. Also, the switch "Ys 8 - Lacrimosa of DANA -" in 6th place is PS Vita -> PS 4 - Switch and release of the third model, but it is reasonable initial move.
It is also noteworthy for products that are on the rise in sales rankings such as "Kingdom Hearts - HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix -", "Winning Eleven 2018" and so on."

Looks like the FuRyu shutdown was about their smartphone game division and not about their console game division. Hopefully their console games will find enough success to keep that division in business for the years to come.

Another company that found it's not very easy to enter mobile paradise.
If Japan looses this, will all Japanese Fifa owners commit sudoku, thus cratering potential Fifa 19 sales on switch ?
Welp, Japan just lost. They played great, though.
Wonder what the impact on sales will be, if any. Quite a sour way to leave the tournament, giving away a 2-0 lead and to lose in the dying seconds of the game.

I'm not sure football games' sales will be significantly affected.

Back when NCAA Football was a thing, I was always more motivated to go back and play it when my school was doing badly, just to make things right. Maybe it could provoke a similar reaction?
In no way did Japan play badly, though. To almost beat the no. 3 of the world is a massive achievement. And they also won from Colombia, a great team as well. Japan is my surprise of the tournament (so far).
That's fair, I didn't mean to imply they played badly (my school certainly did though), just I wanted that second chance to set it right, even if in my head. I could see a lot of people in Japan wanting to reenact that game and make it go their way this time.
Yeah I know it's seppuku I was just wondering if there was a meme around it or something
It's going to be like 6-8k. It'll do better in the west but Xseed fans have been campaigning hard against it. Unfairly to a degree too as the Switch port seems pretty solid even at launch.
So with media create it ranks weekly and Splatoon 2 just recently got a #1 rank week which is the first time a game took the number 1 spot so late in its life since Pokemon green and blue in '97. Any idea of if/what records it has on a monthly basis?
Konami stock will go down and Akihiro Hino will still have to fix the wall of his living room after banging his head against it so hard during the match for the Inazuma Eleven Ares delay.
