It’s crazy that even with ludicrously high first week sales, S/V still managed to keep the second week decline to 77%. Bonkers.

Its crazy that even with 50k sales no PS5 game in the charts other than the bundled game.

I beginning to believe that the PS5 is really mainly used as a Genshin and Fortnite station.

For me it's just more evidence that a huge percentage of PS5s sold in Japan ultimately are resold to other countries. Otherwise, it makes zero sense why there are so few games charting (even when factoring in the digital-only PS5s).
 
Yep. Crazy how scalpers turned on this.
Not sure I follow...

Right, we've seen this up and down the chart for the last two years with the PS4 version often outselling the PS5 version by a wide margin.

26. [NSW] Harvestella – 2,107 / 38,704
Good to see this still hanging in there. TOR still sticking around on Switch at least too.
 
Pokemon has made Japanese people take their switch in the train, which I hadn't seen in such large number before.
