Xenoblade at 175, 757 ! THAT IS AWESOME! Switch does need to introduce a bit more supply and mario and rabbids did well.

Nintendo’s ability to supply Switch stock has been pretty pathetic so far
Good week for PS4 hardware, the MHW hype is real
X1X is up from 6 last week, the real king has arrived

another stunning victory for PS4, and it will be three in a row next week

guess there was a sale on for xbox ones

Switch is so bad with supply even the software is out of stock in mamy places. That said if switch would be in stock it be 100k weekly sales with SW being craZY High. Too bad

Excellent opening, in my opinion, for mario +rabbids.Xenoblade 2 is still holding well, with stock issues and all

PS4 hardware sales are really good too, and Switch is a bit dissapointing.Nintendo really needs to sort this situation out.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Fantastic week for PS4 hardware, the Monster Hunter hype is real!




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Was hoping soon to find out the Switch baseline in Japan. I'm guessing there is still shortages? It seems the baseline is definitely 50k plus.

Also those Switch SW leeeeegs!

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!
