Last edited by takoyaki7 - on 04 April 2018Kirby effect now well and truly over, what we have now seems to be the Switch's true baseline. Looking forward to what Labo's boost will be and if Nintendo have a new big hitter on their hands.
Sony still either deliberately or inadvertently starving the basic PS4 for the Pro in terms of supply, only problem is the boost for the Pro from MHW seems to be over so the Pro has reverted to its 7/8k baseline while the basic has not returned to its 21/22k pre MHW baseline.

I’m pretty sure PS4 hasn’t really had any stock issues for the past few weeks in Japan now |
They did/do have actually, but it is not really affecting their figures by much.

Interesting comparison, so the Switch is almost keeping pace in (SW) sales but its effectively being doubled in HW sales...........lends credence to the idea that the Switch still has a lot in stock that a price cut can do for it (at the appropriate time). It will certainly sell more when it becomes more affordable.

So, is Switch still facing shortages?
Sure, if you believe the PSVR and X1X are facing shortages.

So you believe that PS4 has shortages because it was sold out on Amazon a little while ago but dont believe Switch does when a store is sold out of 4 different bundles?
Im sorry but this seems like a massive double standard.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
Perhaps because Amazon is a massive online retailer which serves the entire country of Japan and that is only one Yodobashi Camera store and is completely useless in determining the large-scale inventory available for a console.
Have a look yourself: https://www.yodobashi.com/?word=Switch
The green "在庫あり" means it's in stock.
Also, just for fun. https://www.yodobashi.com/?word=PS4
The red "お取り寄せ" means it's out of stock.
Great 2nd week for NNK2 althought LTD is still low but if this sales will continue then it will be awesome for the series brand in Japan.
Far Cry 5 is a really a surprised. Western games are really taking a traction in Japan outselling VC 4 and NiNo Kuni II. A genre that mostly Japanese gamers would love. That's why you cannot blame other 3rd party devs. like Capcom focusing on western markets rather than on their home market and level-5/Bandai Namco with NNK2.
As for Super Robot Wars in might be declining in Japan but Bandai Namco will not continuously released it in SEA with English subtitle if it not selling well on those regions.
Kirby is eating sales! XD
So in other words, both can be found in some places but not in others which has been the case for most of the year.
