Nah, maybe it would, but baseline of around 50k prevent YOY fall.

How can Switch keep selling above 50k without new releases? Geez...
Okami is a great game but I don't see it as a game that gets a lot of replay. After 5 releases I'm not sure there's a lot of people who want to play it that haven't already done so.Sad for Okami, deserves a lot more sales. Same for the Wii and PS2 sku that time. Hard to believe how a masterpiece like this can be ignored like that. Is it cause of the controls?
Etrian Odyssey die hards seem to have their copies.

I could be wrong but if I recall the Okami physical release was a limited run as it is digital only in most places. So I think that it a pretty good result.this is pretty good, right? what were the numbers for the ps2/wii/ps3/ps4 versions?
Switch SW does so well it always disappoints me when I get to the hardware numbers.
Okami phyiscal isn't really a limited run in Japan.I could be wrong but if I recall the Okami physical release was a limited run as it is digital only in most places. So I think that it a pretty good result.
That and Core Pokemon will definitely have aj impact, yeah. 2019-2020 in general though are going to be two huge years in terms of HW and SW. The olympics tourism boom is going to cause some wild ass anomilies in terms of SW sales in two years, non-localized games are going to be bought wholesale by people who might not have gone to Japan otherwise.I'm thinking 2019 will be the peak because of the inevitable price cut.

people buying it for those evergreens
A lot of PS4 software titles lie outside the top 20. They still outnumber Switch titles in volume but are a lot more spread out, and sell less copies per title.How is PS4 moving decent hardwares but tanked hard on softwares. Does anyone even play this thing in Japan?

Year 2011 was the price drop, and year 2012 the XL revision. I don't these are fair comparisons, so I'll use year 2013 and 2014.

Another week for SE to disappoint potential Octopath buyers. I'm still scratching my head at how badly they've handled its release so far
Obon is stronger for software comparing to pre Obon but that's not true for hardware. Lack of new releases helps only systems with evergreen titles. With the exception of Switch everything else could be down.
1.7m next week. With dual-pack, that's roughly 2m iirc. And with digital... it did pretty good for a 3rd version.
Mario Tennis Aces has good chances at becoming the best selling Mario Tennis ever.
as great as these sales are, I really hope they don't pull this bullshit again. actually make content that's worth paying full price for or just go the season pass route1.7m next week. With dual-pack, that's roughly 2m iirc. And with digital... it did pretty good for a 3rd version.
interesting choice for a bundle. Aces is selling well, but I guess Nintendo doesn't see it as a stand-alone, big-ticket item? not to mention this is a local multiplayer-focused bundle
