Octopath Traveller is called Octopus Traveller in Japan? Maybe it makes sense to them. Anyway, Octpath is doing well! It will beat Bravely Default easily.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Switch HW and SW is doing very good.



Only 25k more units until ps4 hits that 7m milestone. Well ahead of the ps3. Great performance.



Baseball is huge in japan

Which will be hit within 2 weeks - thus 16 weeks ahead of PS3 to that milestone. Not bad, roughly 6.5-7% quicker than the PS3..

Now imagine Octopath's sales if it wasn't horribly undersupplied

Next time the PS4 is gonna outsell the Switch, is probably late January when KH3 and RE2 releases.

Even that maybe hard as Smash and Pokemon will be in play at that point.

That would be a bit like Mario Odyssey being in play against Monster Hunter World.  I expect PS4 will definitely enjoy a few weeks as top dog when KH3 releases.

SMO was in play it's just MH not only has a bigger impact in Japan than KH and RE but SMO by the time MHW arrived had move 10m in the 3 months before MHW. Both Pokemon and Smash are 10m plus sellers as well so unless these two titles sell at a much faster pace than SMO they'd still be in play as Pokemon LG is out November while Smash is out December, both these games should also impact the baseline.



Nice to see that Octopath got some stock, the game is doing greatly.
Switch sales are great and poor PS4.
Weird to see Mario Odyssey so close to the bottom of the top 20.
Poor Saga Scarlet Grace

Made in Wario gorgeous lol



Nice increase for Octopath Traveler and it's still sold out. It could make to 250k or even 300k.
