Yeah, i was thinking in terms of a typical US retail store like a Walmart or Target where it would be insane to see 60-80 units outside of launch or the holidays, i forgot Japan had those crazy huge electronic stores.
I wasnt talking about you behind your back, the person i responded to is the one who brought you up and i really thought you were mocking him. |
OK, sorry if I was more annoyed than I should have been! It's still early here ^^"
Mess at the PS4's sales 
Japan truly only cares about portability. MHW also collapsing .
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 legs on the switch are just crazy.
damn those ps4 numbers... good lord. But the kirby hold, poyo!

So is Sony holding back consoles for some big release i can't remember right now, or is demand just that big in the US and Europe that they are shipping less to Japan?
Just bad numbers all around, the future for console gaming isn't bright in Japan. Only 5 games managed above 10K that during week ...
I don't think the Switch will be able to hold 40K for much longer. Zelda is over a year old, SMO experienced a harsher fall off and if MK8D starts faltering too then Nintendo is in a tighter rope than before in that region. I don't think many of their upcoming titles in the short term will let the Switch maintain a 40K baseline either judging by the pre-order numbers. Labo is going to be the Switch's next biggest release but even that won't match up to Kirby but their other franchises such as Donkey Kong and Mario Tennis hasn't been relevant in Japan for quite a while ...
Nearly everybody is in deep shit from the game developers to the hardware manufacturers ...

It will probably drop below 40k for a couple weeks but it will likely rebound with the releases of those games you think havent been relevant for quite a while.
Mario Tennis Open sold 360k & Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D sold 420k when they released for 3DS in 2012/2013.
The only releases in these franchises since then were exclusive to Wii U so they really arent anything to go by.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

One of the most negative posts I've ever seen

For just a couple of weeks ? I would doubt so since there's no busy releases to be had in May and August ... (so that leaves Mario Tennis Aces and Octopath Traveler but that's hardly a high end project despite the hype for it around these boards since I would put it in a similar tier to SE's smaller project like I am Sestuna or Lost Sphear)
DKCR on the Wii originally sold over 1M units but it's 3D rerelease did less than half of that. At most what we can expect from DKCTF's rerelease is it doing similar numbers to it's original release much like Hyrule Warriors Legends on 3DS compared to it's WII U counterpart ...
Japan is falling apart in the dedicated gaming industry ...

They'll have a game for August, I'm not sure why you are assuming they won't. Octopath is way bigger than I am sestuna or Lost Sphear. Also, Yokai Watch 4 has a pretty good chance of a July release.
