TotK does not quit, holy shit. Switch HW up as well.

SF6 did badly, but it’s interesting to see that the PS5 version is above the PS4 version.
 
ouch these street fighter numbers are atrocious
It's about 13k worse than Street fighter V when you combine the PS5 and PS4 versions but a higher digital rate than 7 years ago could make up the deficit.

04./00. [PS4] Street Fighter V # <FTG> (Capcom) {2016.02.18} (¥7.990) - 46.836 / NEW <40-60%>

Please don't take this as console warring because I promise it's not, but I honestly think Street Fighter 6 would have sold more as a Switch exclusive or at the very least if it was on the Switch it would easily be the highest sold sku. Those numbers are abysmal.
 
Etrian Odyssey beating out Street Fighter 6 is not something I was expecting.
It’s wild considering how expensive the EO collection is for what it is (assuming the comparative prices are broadly similar to here). Selling more than Street Fighter on PS4/PS5 combined isn’t something I would have predicted.

Especially considering this is just the Collection, right? As in the three-game combo? I'm sure plenty of people only bought one of the games individually, also, which I assume wouldn't count toward this number.

Not sure why folks are surprised about EO. It's a release that would lean heavily on physical, and it was a series that had managed 100k+sales in the region in the past.

As far as SF goes I'd assume the digital share dwarfs SFV, so it's probably ahead or at least flat in the region. For a Switch port, definitely a bad idea for the current Switch hardware, as it would perform like shit, but would make a lot of sense for the Switch 2. Timing would coincide well with the inevitable Arcade Edition or whatever they call it.

Because it’s a really expensive collection that is selling 3 remastered DS games for what would be almost full price each, combined, when they are also each available seperately, digitally for a lower price? If it were a new EO game I wouldn’t be surprised at all, but seeing a collection of remasters of niche DS dungeon crawls that’s selling for more than any other Switch game outsell Street Fighter on two PS platforms does seem a little unusual.

It's honestly mind blowing that in a country of 125 million people only 328 of them bought an Xbox Series, a current gen console, in a whole week.
It's not bomba. It's supernova.
 
Zelda's still got it. itprintsmoney.gif

Yeesh, at the SF6 sales, even though it is just retail.
I did notice SF6's presentation seem to appeal to Western culture more. Capcom may have to make it a fully Western franchise now.
Maybe more fans bought it on Steam? Is there bigger PC market for Japan now?

It isn't "console warring" to state such facts. It's deeply apparent, and has been for YEARS.
