Xbox selling 3K by the power of Starfield!

Pikmin has some serious staying power. Glad to see it, it's an excellent game. Armored Core is also doing great, but it's still somewhat of a niche and PS ecosystem isn't helping much.

man, Playstation games really just do not have staying power in Japan, do they?
Click to expand...
some did, like Hogfarts. I think playstation games are just the one-two punch of being undesirable themselves and/or being on an undesirable platform. the leggier games show that the JP audience want them, but they'd probably prefer them on a different system
 
Switch 2023 v 2019 still really interesting. 2023 has a healthy ~700k lead right now, but 2019 is just about to hit the Lite launch and that'll certainly make up some ground. Even with the Lite launch, it took until week 42 for 2019 to hit 2.7 million (which is where 2023 is right now, on week 36).

And, funnily enough, looking ahead, 2023 has Super Mario Bros Wonder launching on the weekend of week 43 this year, as well as hardware bundles launching on (I think) week 41. Will that be enough to counteract the Pokemon boost that 2019 still has in its corner?

I’m thinking the new red Mario Switch with Wonder and MK8D bundles should have it pull ahead. Bomberman, Momotaro, Wario Ware, SMRPG, Detective Pikachu, Sonic, Persona 5, MGS Collection, Star Ocean, two Dragon Quest titles, Hogwarts Legacy port, and whatever L5 releases this year should give it enough of a boost to beat it. I’m moreso curious how it will perform against 2022.

Nope. Even PS5 sold many thousands each week in Japan, they only play Fortnite on their PS5

At first I joked about it, but right now in Japan PS5 really seems to be a F2P machine, coupled with being maybe a PS4 BC machine since the disc version performs better (or so I heard, Famitsu do not split the two models available)

They actually do, the digital version of PS5 is categorized as PS5DE in the chart. Yes, the disc version sells way more. No, we don't know what the heck JP people are playing on them.

That is absolutely insane.
 
I forgot Nintendo is also releasing a new Mario themed OLED model this october. I used to say that saturation probably won't make it a big seller, but with numbers like this I think everything is off the table and literally everything is possible.
 
Damn imagine in the Gamecube era when the first Pikmin came out that Pikmin in 20 years time would be comfortably more popular than a brand new Final Fantasy game in Japan. How times change.

Just this week, it seems.
They were still clinging to spot #27 with 1,321 copies in last week's report.
