Some stuff to note about this week:
08./02. [PS4] Monster Hunter: World - Iceborne Master Edition <Monster Hunter: World \ Monster Hunter: World - Iceborne> # <ACT> (Capcom) {2019.09.06} (¥6.990) - 26.324 / 346.239 <80-100%>
(-34%)
It's definitely enjoying stronger post-launch legs than most of us were expecting, with pretty good weekly drops starting from the second week one. It shouldn't have problems at surpassing the 400.000 copies mark at retail.

The platform split stayed almost exactly the same during the (already mentioned multiple times) sales explosion.

03./00. [PS4] FIFA 19 # <SPT> (Electronic Arts) {2018.09.28} (¥7.800) - 62.710 / NEW <60-80%>
08./00. [NSW] FIFA 19 # <SPT> (Electronic Arts) {2018.09.28} (¥5.800) - 16.275 / NEW <40-60%>
Sales split: 79,39% on PS4; 20,61% on Switch
06./00. [PS4] FIFA 20 # <SPT> (Electronic Arts) {2019.09.27} (¥7.727) - 43.751 / NEW <40-60%>
15./00. [NSW] FIFA 20 <SPT> (Electronic Arts) {2019.09.27} (¥5.093) - 9.593 / NEW <20-40%>
Sales split: 82,02% on PS4; 17,98% on Switch
Relatively, the PS4 version gained less than 3% in the platform split from the Switch SKU...but the game sales overall went through an important YOY decline (32,46% less than FIFA 19)

14./00. [NSW] Dead by Daylight: Definitive Edition <ACT> (3goo) {2019.09.26} (¥4.600) - 9.988 / NEW <60-80%>
Surprisingly enough, the Switch version of Dead by Daylight debuted with stronger numbers than the PS4's original release back in November 2018 (7.517 according to Famitsu): probably, the lower launch price and the additional content helped the game somewhat.

22./00. [NSW] Ninja Box <ADV> (Bandai Namco Games) {2019.09.26} (¥4.800) - 6.034 / NEW <40-60%>
Looking at how horrible its Amazon rankings placements were looking like (and still are)...I was genuinely expecting around half of that number. Color me "positively surprised", but just because it's not as bad as it could've been. The game concept is interesting, the style doesn't look bad at all, and the game retails for a very low price...and yet, another failed experiment in the more casual / young / family market from Bandai Namco. I still hope they don't stop trying with such efforts: the market needs more hits catering to that demographic. I find it very difficult to believe the game will suddenly boom in popularity thanks to the web anime breaking out. Not 100% impossible, but...99.2% impossible :P At least, retailers this time were prepared.

24./00. [NSW] Hakuoki: Shinkai - Tsukikage no Shou # <ADV> (Idea Factory) {2019.09.26} (¥6.300) - 4.848 / NEW <80-100%>
To answer a few questions from earlier: this is a fandisc that deals with a few stories of the characters from Hakuoki: Shinkai, the two-parts remake of the original Hakuoki released for PSV: Furi no Shou, which debuted with 14.198 copies sold, and Hana no Shou, that sold 12.063 copies in its first week (source: Famitsu - retail only - via GameDataLibrary). I assume fandiscs, by default, can't attract as many people as the original game did / "proper" sequels to the original games would do, but I'm open to suggestions and corrections, especially coming from other users who know the Otomate world way more than me :P
