The total numbers are right?
Great HW increase

Zedark · Mar 4, 2020

Some pretty strong software increases right there. Pokémon should pass 4M retail rather quickly imo (before Q4 CY2020 starts I think).

Lyrick · Mar 4, 2020

Mega Man Zero looks like it did typical Mega Man numbers, consistency +1.

Lelouch0612 · Mar 4, 2020

As people are being confined, the biggest boosts are for games with a local multiplayer component (Mario Party, Smash and Mario Kart)

DarkDetective · Mar 4, 2020

Great numbers overall. Even an increase in hardware sales. Not bad at all.

Kanann · Mar 4, 2020

Everyone bully OPM like Harada murder your family lol

Naga · Mar 4, 2020

Hardware lives.

Oof that P5S drop though. Nice boost for most other games.

The delay between the first two seasons (and the quality of the second season itself) killed this IP I guess.

That's gotta be a mistake. Game Data Library had Sword/Shield at 3.4 mil already.

It surely didn't help that the second season was painfully avarage quality wise

Yeah, Spike Chunsoft has been getting away with some of the worst licensed anime games in the business for ages.

Lelouch0612 · Mar 4, 2020

Also the PS4 is up thanks to the Amazon promotion. Still, it was not enough to crack 10k.

If Switch can maintain 50K+ until Animal Crossing, it will have a pretty good Q1 (Q4 FY) still.

Fularu · Mar 4, 2020

That 50% sales increase for PS4

Beast mode

And people want a Persona 5 port?, good luck with that.

This is going to be a big seller in the long-run. Animal Crossing will bring new casual audience that will eat this kind of game.

K Samedi · Mar 4, 2020

So its pretty much a fact now that Corona has a positive effect on game sales. I wonder how things will move forward and if we will see a continued elevation with how the virus is spreading (hoping that it goes away of course).

Surprised to see MMZZXLC on Switch outselling the PS4 version almost 3 times.

Every NSW evergreen game is up :-)
Except RFA :-(

(as was expected due to supply constraints)

At this point it will be one of the longer runs to reach 1m and a very peculiar one: not because of demand but because of supply.

The Zero collection doing worse than the X Collection is expected but where is the PS4 version?

Yeah, Spike Chunsoft has been getting away with some of the worst licensed anime games in the business for ages.

They won't get away with this

If there's no error in the numbers, it didn't enter Top 10 and sold less than the game ranked 10th that week.

I wonder how much OPM cost to develop

Dexit is real with those lifetime numbers. Should have joined Yokai Watch and transitioned to PS4 but it's too late now

Significantly better, week 2 sales for P5S are 40% higher than P5R week 2 sales.

Surprised to see MMZZXLC on Switch outselling the PS4 version almost 3 times.

I understand that reference.

That much I can tell, I just find odd the PS4 version didn't chart in the top 10 when the X Collection for PS4 sold +10k compared with the Switch version.

I assume there are still shortages for the flagship Switch model?

ArchedThunder · Mar 4, 2020

Didn't expect a boost in Switch hardware until Animal Crossing. Neat.

X games where continued on PS consoles, Z and ZX were handheld games ... so i guess they have more fans in the Nintendo userbase?

On what platforms did the last X games release ? On what platforms did the last Zero games release ?

These are nostalgia products, that's why you have the following gap.

Considering there won't be new main Pokémon games until nov. 2021, I wonder if 6 millions is in play for SWSH.

So like, are the only Spike anime games that do okay ones that have Dragon Ball characters in them? I legit can't think of any other they've done that did okay other than their DB games and their Jump games.

Also the PS4 is up thanks to the Amazon promotion. Still, it was not enough to crack 10k.

Somehow I doubt that people spending thousands of dollars to buy ridiculously expensive TVs are the reason that the PS4 is up, lol.

That didn't stop the X Collection on Switch to do better than this Collection on PS4. I think your are right, the nostalgia is a factor but still....
