Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Kh3 700k and RE2 400k. Ps4 at 25k is OK but more drops expected.



I didn't know you made one. It was at the same time. (mine is locked now)

At hand: 

BOOM! Looks like the Switch will have a clean sweep in 2019 and win every week. GG Switch. Despite KH3 being out it still comes out on top.

Kh3 in collapse mode. 80%? 1m LTD? 1m still possible? Or is that dream shattered? 

RE2 also went down harshly. GG. 

Evergreen titles all did well on Switch.

The Switch rises for apparently no reason and the PS4 sliding back toward sub 20k weeks.

Signature goes here!

The Pokémon bundle came back this week, so that explains the boost. Great numbers

Massive drops for PS4 and KH3 and 'RE2
Nice increase for the Switch!

Nice legs for NSMBUD and Smash!
1mil for Super Mario Party @Retail is 1 week away!!!
It would be nice if Lets Go can reach 2mil before next gen!



Pocky Lover Boy! 

The japanese market ain't what it used to be. I blame mobile "gaming".

I think the Switch is probably Japan's best chance at a recovery, but it isn't good enough yet..

JRPGs almost always decline 80% from their FW to 2nd.

 

Biggest surprises for me in the chart are POGO doubling WoW and the KH collection staying flat. Thought the latter would crash out of the list immediately.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
