They are 

Source? They have a digital copy with each bundle sold

 

Edit: not preinstalled means =/= no retail sale.

 

Look at ps4 for example this week with 2 free games

It says "included including version". They must be counting the bundle as a software sale as well



Looks like PS4's 5,000 yen price cut and two free games managed to boost sales as expected, but not enough to bring it up from this time last year.

Also i dont think bundles are included on that number... Maybe a sell thru close to 1.5mil is possible!

I demand proof on that!!! i don't want to hear a "is possible"!!! Crows were eaten because of this FFS!!!

 

So 1'2M even with MC then......Until proved otherwise 1'5M was too much for Smash in its first week in Japan. Still very good numbers and the franchise keeps growing after the Wii and 3DS versions.

1.5mil is too much for you but 1.3mil is wayyy to low for me ;)

Thats a solid point but i beg to differ. Lots of games with special editions on that list say the same thing. I still believe its not included but if it os its the worse case scenario of 1.22mil sold (excluding digital)

It's not too much just for me anymore, it is for Famitsu and MC too now, you know? XD. I wondering how we'll know digital numbers for Ultimate. I don't remember how MH W and DQ XI digital numbers were announced....Do we know which one is the best selling digital game on Switch in Japan until now?.

Probably Minecraft :P



Monster Hunter the biggest launch of the year confirmed on both trackers. Also ps4 saved! Not hopefully it does well the last 4 weeks of the year.



Oh, and surprising good numbers for PS4. The deals seems worked wonders this week, only 10k behind last year's Monster Hunter World Bundle is really good.



Nearly 75K for PS4 - not too shabby! Wonder how the KH3 bundle will do next month.



Last week was a Smashing day and a Switched one too (an SS week)!!  Comparing to last week it went up 233% with 16k+ more units while ps4 soared a 365% with more than 54k+ units. Taking data from last years' week the Switch is improved a 170% moving 116k+ more units while PS4 went down 86% with 11k+ less units from last year. This also makes Switch biggest week in the last 52 weeks and an improvement to the PS4 family since week 6. Congrats on Smash with those incredible numbers and moving 6m+ units in 93 weeks for the Switch. Eager and excited to see the next weeks's numbers specially week 51 which seems to be the highest.
