Tnx.

 

It's pretty simple when other gave me clear information, not you. So, GTAV in Japan was last time in top 20. (more exatly at 18. position) 6 months ago, so Its not strange why I dont remember when GTAV was last time in Japan in top 20, while in West we seeing GTAV regulary in top 10.

It's clear to me because i follow this thread closely. You should have just Google a few of the charts over the last year. Simple .

Im not going to go into this particular arguement, im just pointing out that he and others want you/whoever presents an argument to actually show facts. Not let someone do the work for you/others.

 

If i said game A outsold game b a certain week then it should be me presenting the facts to back a claim up

I meant to do this last month, but I never got around to it. Here's a few charts for final 2017 sales figures:



And since the Switch is a hybrid and thus technically also a handheld:

 


And now to get things started for 2018:

I'll try to update this one at least once a month.

You have yearly charts for consoles & handhelds, could you do a yearly chart for console+handheld?

Well you just entered it .

 

He initially said this 

"GTA5 is regularly in top 10 best selling games on West, when GTA5 was in top 20 best selling games in Japan, probably only around GTA5 launch"

 

A false assumption. Why should i do his research for him. The onus is on him to back up what he said.

I see, well thats a tough one on his part to back up but your right as well. Carry on

It doesn't really matter now, but when its clear to you and you said that GTAV was in top 20 in last year, you needed to gave me proof, I don't have intention to go through all weekly sales of last year to see if that really true.

I had no intention either just to prove your initial assimption was wrong. The onus was on you to prove you were right.

Yeah but I wasn't certain, that's why I wrote "probably", but you are one that was certain so you could provide me exact information and I actually ask you to provide me exact information because I wasn't certain, and when I got information from other person you wrote "Its pretty simple" even if you didn't provide me information. But at end it doesn't really matter, I got information.

It's pretty simple to pick a few weeks from last year to check. I know you said probably, thats why i said assumption.

Switch is still sold out in many stores in Japan.

Yes I can, and in several different ways:


I made the last one a line graph since the columns would be too narrow and bunched up in a column graph.

Thank you!!!!

With the exception of 2006-2008 & 2014-2016, it seems like 7-10 million is a typical year in Japan.

I think 2018 will be up from 2017. 3DS will be down quite a bit, Vita will basically be dead and PS4 will be pretty stable but Switch should be comfortably up and able to offest the decline of other platforms.
