In Japan as well? Ive heard digital hasnt caught on there as much as in the west.

MHW was pretty much the highest ratio with digital since it had shortage problems with retailer, otherwise it doesn't go past 20% much often,lol.

Ya thats what i was thinking, MHW digital ratio is a bit of an outlier.

It pains me to see 1-2 Switch above anything. Please stop buying that game, people.

Different strokes for different folks.

I know but from what I've seen, it looks like $60 shovelware. The Amazon ratings suggest a sub-par product.

I'd rather see Nintendo shove this up their ass than push that crap on people.

This is really telling for Japan's future, that's all I'll say.

I'm glad to see MHW success (as I expected and despite some Nintendo fans saying that it'd never work out on Sony waters)



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

Really curious to see what this list looks like at the end of the year.

Only next year? Oh damn, the lineup for this year on PS4 in Japan starts to look thin then. Well, not really the full lineup, but big guns are missing then. Or fired, because MonHun surely is a big gun.

Kingdom Hearts is January and Code Vein just got delayed to 2019, same with Granblue Fantasy which was a potential big hitter.

That sounds bad for the PS4

Something interesting to note is the average sales per game on each of these.

PS4
Total sales - 4,909,125
Total games - 47
Average sales per game - 104,449

NSW
- 4,085,068
- 31
- 131,776

3DS
- 915,477
- 14
- 65,391

Vita
- 364,676
- 8
- 45,584

Admittedly the PS4 average is heavily elevated by one game, (64,337 without Monster Hunter) but this is still an interesting data set.

Nintendo dominating the charts except for Monster Hunter which annihilated everything else. I'm curious to see if Smash can potentially outsell Monster Hunter.

Splatoon 2 will eventualy outsell Monster Hunter. And Smash is more an american hit
