Man, the xbox rise has me so curious. Will be interesting to see if it continues after stock is available elsewhere. Is it syphoned off scalp stock going abroad or gamepass? Would still suspect the former personally, but we'll see.

I expected a worse drop of Crayon, so thats surprising. Hows the stock?

Monster Hunter 3rd week isn't very good.

Omg Xbox, impossible!

I noticed many Jp get the Xbox last week, not surprised, but nice to see it ended up being the best selling week aside from release.

The landing to reality for some Switch expectations has started. Next weeks will become more obvious how much Animal Crossing pushed hardware last year.

WoW @ Xbox Series consoles (by Japan standard)
And WoW @ Xbox Series S > Xbox Series X.

I am wondering if the weekly sales of Xbox Series consoles at Japan is already more than the sales in some European countries, like Spain, Portugal and some eastern European countries.

When is PS5 expected to hit 1 million units sold here? Could it hit it by the end of 2021?

Utawarerumono: Zan 2 is the next victim of being loyal to PlayStation at these times. Budget increased a lot but lifetime sales will decrease (a lot?).

2021 was extremely strong for Switch for 6 months, which was already incredible. I think the only way H2 could have continued that was with a really good holiday line up and some really exciting new hardware. It was the perfect time for it but both didn't really happen so it'll slow down I guess.

Don't we need to wait for the Top 30 considering it will be split between two SKUs. Theoretically it could have had a higher first week than Zan if the two SKUs were at ~10k.

That jump in XSS suggests there's significant unmet need for the console. I have no idea what the ceiling is, but that's such a huge week.

Another port justified, definitely. This is easily going to surpass the Wii release's total... and pave the way for huge TP/WWHD sales in Q1 2022.

Not sure what you expect from Portugal, but Japan xbox sales were always higher than Portuguese sales, even during the xbox one era.

This is a country where the best selling console tends to sell around 500k LT.

At this rate Xbox Series will outsell Xbox One lifetime sales this year.

Having played NEO TWEWY a bunch now, essentially any number it posts next week is going to be depressingly low relative to quality ;(
