3 million Switch hardware for the year. Very nice.

Also hyped for Xbox, keep rising.

Great launch for Golf on the software side.

Samurai Warriors is okay given the circonstances, Scarlett Nexus is sadly bad.

Good week for hardware, especially Xbox again and PS5.

solid mario golf

samurai warriors continues to decline..hopefully WOM is good (and platform breakdown was better for switch than i expected)

good thing for namco scarlet nexus is going to do so well in the west!

Switch was the only HW with a decline this week. Nintendo will press the panic button and reveal the revision next week.

I think Xbox is going to reach a 10K high for hardware sold in a week before the end of this year.

Can anyone actually explain these xbox sales? feels really out of nowhere

also, team 2021 sinking

Easy to explain really, xbox series demand was always way higher than what the numbers were showing, selling out the little stock in a matter of a couple minutes tops.
Now they are managing to send more=sells more.

you have no idea how crazy for Xbox jp social media is right now, in a niche kind of way.

Scarlet Nexus not quite as bad as it looked, but still pretty terrible.

Caligula 2 numbers less than the original definitely, but might be better than Overdose with both versions.

Pretty good for Mario Golf. Pretty bad for Scarlet Nexus.

Xbox is selling an unprecedented amount!

Switch is at min of ~85.783M WW, less than 300k shy of making it to 86M from japan numbers only. Flop confirmed, pack it up Nintendo third party you go. I'm being facetious.



And I don't know what's worse, that PS5 and XBS are closer in proximity by hardware sales when the latter brand historically performs worse, or that scarlet nexus performed like that on a player base of +10M.


On better news, XBS is increasing, curious to see if they stays for a while.

We knew Scarlett would not sell well.
Looking at the pre-order rankings of the major Japanese retailers, we expect Tales to have similar sales to Scarlet.

so ps5 has been out in Japan for...a bit over 7 months and by my count a total of 7 Japanese 3rd party titles have charted and one of those has hit 50k.

Not good

Ps5 23k this week, Xbox 4k and you surmise the "latter brand" is in close proximity lol

Question is why though? What do you think they have done to produce this sudden spike in demand compared to the last... decade?

It won't need much longer until main Musou too starts selling better on Nintento systems. Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires is the next that original entry skipped Switch.

Compared to a week like this:
www.resetera.com

Media Create Sales: Week 4, 2021 (Jan 25 - Jan 31) Sales

Media Create Sales: Week 4, 2021 (Jan 25 - Jan 31) 01./01. [NSW] Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban! (Konami) {2020.11.19} (¥6.300) 02./02. [NSW] Ring Fit Adventure # (Nintendo) {2019.10.18} (¥7.980) 03./00. [NSW] Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny (Nippon Ichi Software)...

?

It is doing much better this time than a week like that, XBO was dead and PS had a bigger market share all considered.

Quite sad about Scarlet Nexus. I do hope it finds success elsewhere.
Good week for Microsoft and Xbox Series above Xbox one.
11000 for Nayuta seems in line with other rereleases of Kiseki games.
Oh, and PS4 has 4x the sales of last week.
