Switch Hardware and evergreens are definitely the stars of the show.

The coming weeks will be very interesting with the onslaught of software and the Ps5 launch.

I wonder what's the digital split for Mario 3D, If I remember correctly, Xenoblade DE, had more digital than physical. It could be the same here.

Serious question, can the PS5 shakes things up in Japan, not for a week or two, I mean a serious shake up? Because seeing 7-9 Switch games on the top ten and like 22-26 of the top thirty is kinda boring. And I'm saying that as a Nintendo fan.

From what i can tell Japan usually isnt big on remasters and remakes compared to the west outside of pokemon and dragon quest so i think this is a good number so far

Considering the likely budget this will probably be one of the most profitable Nintendo releases ever, so that wasn't in doubt. It's a great number.

In the short term I don't think so. PS5 doesn't have enough of a lineup.
PS4 shortages are over

Really, since when?

I would have though there would be more pent up demand if that was the case.

Amazon had various PS4 bundles for Prime Day with 1 or 2 free games. Only the GoT bundle sold out and charted quite high, the others were in stock until the deal was over and didn't chart high, some not even in the top 100. You can still find a remaining listing for the PS4 bundle with TLOU2 in stock (although at a higher price than the console alone now that the deal is over).

100k+ on a random week is amazing! But it's not surprising anymore, next month will be interesting to see.

I wonder what Japanese devs/pubs looking at these Switch numbers are thinking. I still can't make sense of the 'lacking' support.

Is it normal for pokemon to still be on top 10? Feel like its pretty good that its there right?

You can still find a remaining listing for the PS4 bundle with TLOU2 in stock (although at a higher price than the console alone now that the deal is over).

Kind of surprising. What about the rest of retail though?
100k+ on a random week is amazing! But it's not surprising anymore, next month will be interesting to see.

I wonder what Japanese devs/pubs looking at these Switch numbers are thinking. I still can't make sense of the 'lacking' support.

Really big numbers for such a niche device.

I'll bet they are like "let us put our games on Xbox, that will really help us". Kinda like Bandai lol

11.900 copies of Fifa 2017. Impressive

Of relevance here, FIFA 15 on Vita (which was actually FIFA 11 reskinned) sold 67k and was the best selling FIFA game on Vita by a country mile and outsold the other three combined (they each sold 15-20k each).

Most of that came from it being the last FIFA game on the handheld and also a budget price re-release, but still - seems like a similar situation here in that the people who want handheld FIFA just keep buying it no matter what.

I would hold Mario 3d Collection judgement until November, Media Create threads are used at backfire when it comes to Switch.

Serious question, can the PS5 shakes things up in Japan, not for a week or two, I mean a serious shake up? Because seeing 7-9 Switch games on the top ten and like 22-26 of the top thirty is kinda boring. And I'm saying that as a Nintendo fan.

Nope.

I have a feeling that we will see less and less retail releases in Japan, further games that will land on PS5 won't have a big staying power. In terms of rankings, it will be a PS4 2.0.

I am just impressed at the insane ROI. I doubt that they needed to sell more than 10k copies to break even globally.

In the short term I don't think so. PS5 doesn't have enough of a lineup.


Really, since when?

I would have though there would be more pent up demand if that was the case.

I doubt the ps4 pro stock is ever coming back, or the demand for it at this point. You can be thankful the Slim is selling in line with last year

Clubhouse Games at over 400k. Worldwide numbers have to be at least a million or two. Bring on the 52nd game.
