YeahThose PS5 and Series numbers.....are total???
As in including the DE and Series S??
100%! Everyone who bought the other systems returned them to the store.
Both PS5 and Series consoles combined were doing like 30-40k sales a week recently so I think it's something else. More likely both companies just didn't ship any consoles that week for whatever reason (could be because of Splatoon or some logistics thing).I think next week is the price increase for PS5, hence the depressed numbers
Surely, things will get much better then once the hardware is more expensive!I think next week is the price increase for PS5, hence the depressed numbers
Xbox ususally sells awfully in japan so its business as usualThose PS5 and Series numbers.....are total???

is it 98% country's console marketshare or 98% of the consoles sold last week..?

I know, it's just that with the situation of the PS5 software sales being literally unprecedented in terms of awfulness, making the case by raising the price of the hardware isn't likely to reverse course.That's not the point. Is that this past week there were no restocks because the new one with the new price was coming. These numbers are just leftovers.

for Xbox, it fluctuates so I wouldn't say anything that denotes stability. with the price going up for PS5s soon, that would cause a spike in sales and Sony missing out on money, hence a smaller shipment. if shipments go back up following the price increase, I think that's a tellBoth PS5 and Series consoles combined were doing like 30-40k sales a week recently so I think it's something else.

Because Sony's gaming revenue is consistently higher than Nintendo's.Yup. Been the market leader for years now. Not sure why people still say Sony is.
And the profits are consistently lowerBecause Sony's gaming revenue is consistently higher than Nintendo's.

As for playstation this is a result of a long and slow decline of the brand there
Although to be fair to both this week seems worse than usual even for them
Sold last week
110%. Stores shipped out all Xbox/PS back to the factory.100%! Everyone who bought the other systems returned them to the store.
Japan is a nation of billions of people, so this is expected.
Seriously though, Switch is still healthy sales-wise, so I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo is not in any rush to release a successor this year/next year.
Not a bad thing in whatsoever way you put it.
this is just console sales from the past week
from what I'm hearing, the Deck is priced outside of most people's budget. it's an enthusiast pc gamer's device and pc hardware is already expensive in japan
whenever Nintendo pencilled in manufacturing, they can't really move from itShould I post this in the "is a Switch 2 coming next year" thread?
Japan is still one of the largest gaming marketsSerious question: Why do we get so many people saying Microsoft/Sony need to do more in Japan? They need more Japanese studios, need to appeal to that market more, etc? It seems like a largely lost cause but at the same time I don't fully see why it truly matters if sales were higher elsewhere than Japan.
Is it the tradition of the area in games? The idea that they can cut into Nintendo if they put the time in? I've thought about this before but never asked. I think both companies even say things like the Japanese market is important to us.
