I wonder if Kirby Star Allies can eventually crawl to 1m total sales in Japan.

Easily. Especially if there is a Nintendo Selects or equivalent budget re-release.



Small price cut for the PS4pro.... gives a decent push.

25.5k PS4s this week is pretty solid for japan.



Noo
Splatoon first time below 10 K
I thought it would not happen this year.



The pricecut did nothing meaningful for the PS4. That's it.

Nice above baseline numbers for Switch. SMP dropped less than I expected.

Fair boost for the PS4 thanks to the combination of Black Ops 4 and a Pro pricecut.



Damn, Mega Man is completely off the list

Underwhelming it is then. If the PS4 has to stay above 20k for four consecutive weeks, that's setting things up for the conclusion of underwhelming sales.

Not really sure that is accurate just yet.  The PS4 still 300k+ Gap lead over the PS3 in Japan.  I have my doubts that it can continue to outpace it though for much longer.  Underwhelming?  Well it depends on what metrics you use but to me it just looks nominal. 

It's actually much further ahead of the ps3 then that.

 

Check out this post it has the number. I'd tell you myself but that code is not displaying on my phone. https://www.resetera.com/threads/media-create-sales-week-41-2018-oct-08-oct-14.75349/#post-13891999

 

Who will hit 8m first. Ps4 or ps3? I think ps4 can have a decent next 6 months so probably it. After that it needs a price cut to perform well. That's so long over due. And the recent pro cut was only bringing it in line with the rest of the world

Huh. I just noticed after verifying some Resetera posts that the Smash Switch bundle is releasing 2 weeks later in Japan than it is in the west. How odd. It's releasing the same time as the Pokemon bundle, so instead of two big weeks for Media Create there will be one humongous week for the bundles.

Yeah there will be an explosion, but for now sales remain mediocre.

The ratio may be bad but the actual sales are anything but. Record breaking sales for cod in Japan baby! 

 

And its digital sales will be decent unlike most past cods. Some even had no digital. So all in all a fantastic week for the series in Japan. Legs should be good too and it will easily cross 500k. Who knows how much higher though. 

650k ( BO2 ) would be a good target.

880k is what BO2 eventually did, which looks difficult to achieve.



Great debut for Black Ops IIII.
Forgot the PS4 pro price cut was for this week, the boost was meh. Let's see if the baseline increases.
