The percentages for the changes in sales seem wrong. Smash is noted as down, but had 253K here. DQ Builders 2 is noted as +30%, but was at 80K. Are - and + switched?

3DS-FC: 4511-1768-7903 (Mii-Name: Mnementh), Nintendo-Network-ID: Mnementh, Switch: SW-7706-3819-9381 (Mnementh)

my greatest games: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023

10 years greatest game event!

bets: [peak year] [+], [1], [2], [3], [4]

With week 1 there is a possibilty of smash being higher sell thru than splat2 and MHW



Smash is doing way better than i expected in Japan. Switch software in Japan is a juggernaut.

But the surprise here is the performance of PS4 reaching 117k.....how, why???



PS4 doing 117k is more surpriseing to me than the Switch doing 199k.

Temporary price cut, will be interesting to see what happens the following weeks, even with noteworthy titles. At this stage I would just make it permanent price cut.

They are correct, you are comparing these numbers to Famitsu week 52, this is media create.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Week 1 always sees an increase over week 52 and this is the last week of the PS4 price cut+2 games bundle.
